This is like a Leno segment when he gets out in the street and asks people questions that you would think, they would be able to answer. It's kind of funny but a little sad too.
YouTube - Americans don't know why we celebrate 4th of July

Ah, yeah, the latest big news that there are people who can lead their life without much knowledge of the origins of their country.
I wonder if the interviewer has ever held a 'real job'.
you know every time i see videos like that i know i shouldnt watch them cause it is just gonna make me mad. how do you not know what the fourth of july is about? i mean i can understand people living in other countries not knowing (but i will believe that alot of them do). it was only like one of the most important dates of our country!!! i mean come on read a:cen book!!!! have a little pride for your home

p.s. thanks for sharing
Obviously that little production would not be a "little" production if everybody was answering the questions.
I wonder if the interviewer even knew what it meant before they told him what to say. He probably could be found at the local bar that night blowing his money buying drinks for everyone.
As sad as it is, this doesn't surprise me in the least. We have kids graduating college with advanced degrees that can barely string together a coherent sentence, much less know what the national holidays are all about.
I don't know if he ever had a real job but just in the few minutes of that video he brought more value to the market that any government mobster.
EDIT: Here is another Dice video since so many enjoyed the other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk5aRIz17fk
Oh most definitely, it just doesn't happen to be my type of 'value'. But there are obviously plenty of people willing to pay him little at a time to be 'enlightened'.Quote:

"americans" not knowing why they celebrate the fourth of july is not something that bothers me.. what annoys me are the "americans" who don't know why they celebrate cinco de mayo.
My late father always told me that all of the USA celebrated his birthday on 04/07!
