This Two-Year Old is a Better Geographer than You


For nogen tid siden så jeg et indslag i fjernsynet hvor en stribe amerikanere blev spurgt om placeringen af en række 'kendte' steder i Europa (og USA). De fleste adspurgte (dem de viste i indslaget) havde problemer med disse. Da programmet øjensynligt ville lave p.. med Amerikanere fik de at vide at svaret for dem alle var forskellige steder i Australien (inklusive Mount Rushmore). Dette kom naturligvis som en overraskelse, men de tog det til efterretning som værende sandheden.

A while ago a saw a TV show in which a bunch of Americans were asked about the where abouts of a list of 'famous' places in Europe (and the US). The main part of the people asked (or the ones showed) had big problems giving right answers and even if the answer was correct they accepted that they were wrong when explained that all of the places in question were Australien locations (even Mt. Rushmore!). This is of course stunning but also something to reflect upon.
