This is hilarious. Granted, they’re probably only showing the responses they wanted to get but it’s still amazing what Americans will say about things they know nothing about, no matter how ridiculous it sounds.
From the satirical Canadian TV special “Talking to Americans” hosted by Rick Mercer of This Hour Has 22 Minutes fame. Talking to Americans reveals how little Americans know about Canada and the rest of the world by asking regular Americans, university students, professors, celebrities, and even famous politicians questions about their neighbours to the north.
In Part 1, Rick visits New York City, Little Rock Arkansas, Mt. Rushmore, and Columbia University.
