this video is making its rounds in Hungary too. My favourite bit is "Hungry?! Is that a country? I've heard of Turkey, but Hungry? I've never heard of that!" very funny:)

She's as thick as two short planks. On the other hand, she's very sweet and more than a little sexy.

How well would average and below Europeans do on the lesser known states and their cities in the USA?

'My favourite bit is "Hungry?! Is that a country? I've heard of Turkey, but Hungry? I've never heard of that!" very funny:)' -- There used to a very popular children's rhyme in England around a century ago: "Austria was Hungary, had a bit of Turkey, dipped it in Greece. Long-legged Italy kicked poor Sicily right into the middle of the Mediterranean sea."

"How well would average and below Europeans do on the lesser known states and their cities in the USA?" -- You can't seriously be suggesting that France, Hungary and Budapest are not well known. Are you perchance a close relative?

It is a set-up. No one is that ignorant. Are they? I mean, I hope I am right.

I love these shows. It's like a "odd couple" game show. Grab a formally educated kid and put them next to some one who took no part in that. The game show host is Jeff Foxworthy his whole bag is jokes about poor rural white people. Something to add, I do know there is such a thing as professional game show guests and starving actors. She could be either of those or just a run of the mill pretty and dumb chick. Whatever the case bravo! This is great comedy!

"Yeah she sure is fit!" -- A few words of advice from Mr. Jimmy Soul: "If you wanna be happy For the rest of your life, Never make a pretty woman your wife, So from my personal point of view, Get an ugly girl to marry you." I think Jimmy was just joshing.
