Obvious to me...Switzerland. They aren't a threat yet and we can make sure they never are. Besides they only have those silly knives. It would also give our troops a huge morale boost by kicking some Swiss ass!
I think Barnum once said that nobody ever lost money underestimating the stupidity of the American public. I wish I could find things like this funny.
No, I'm glad I can't. I wish I could throttle each and every one of these lunkheads. Maybe they would favor bombing ME into oblivion if they knew I thought they were so stupidly dangerous.

That must be some education system which can dumb people down to that extent. I don't find it funny either, amoral idiots like these can kill us all at any time with their nuclear arsenal, without even knowing or caring which country goes where.

I am slightly skeptical, but that was amusing, especially since I was feeling deeply ashamed mere moments ago for not knowing that the Falklands are actually East, not South, of continental South America.
Posted by: Saheli at July 3, 2006 04:26 PMThis item is taken from an AustralianTV comedy program called "The Chaser-CNNN" a take-off of CNN.
They frequently send a an Australian reporter to the USA and make these fake interview,using fake maps,or other items ..In this segment Australia was marked as.....on various maps..Korea,Iran,etc.
None of the dumdums in the interview got the point.!!
This regular segment making fun of Americans,is a favourite with Australian audiences,and much talked about,,Americans seem ,very very funny to us here in OZ!!,and like George Bush(who is often shown on the program) a subject of much mirth and laughter.
