Satire on Geography Knowledge Too Believable
I’m not a regular reader of the Huffington Post but on Monday it ran a satire piece about Americans knowledge of geography. The funniest bit:
“On the whole, these figures should be construed as somewhat disappointing,” Gallup spokesman Keith Ventner said. “Especially the two percent that believed the United States was located on the map’s color-coded inset legend. I think we as a nation likely could have done without seeing that.”
Apparently, many of the commenters thought the article was factual. I bet they didn’t do too well on the really hard quizzes in school that at the beginning had the statement: “Read this entire test before beginning” and failed to do so.
