Yeah we Americans are dumb

Irks me every time. I go to lunch with folks and inadvertently there is this line that sneaks in "Yeah we Americans are dumb, we can't think things before we do" or something on those similar lines.

I dont know of another race that call themselves dumb. Is this a confession session or are they really that humble?

Go on youtube and search for 'Dumb Americans' and you'll find hilarious videos where a guy goes around and asking people "Name a country that starts with U"
Here are some of the replies - "Yugoslavia", "Uhhhhhhhhhh", "Utopia" and perhaps the best of all "Utah"
I don't know if that video was scripted, but nevertheless, its funny....

If you look back to the past 200 years in science and innovation and in movie making they have always made leaps and bounds not to mention be original.
There is a blind sense of patriotism and I find it sorely lacking in other races. Every Bollywood movie that I've taken especially Hindi movies are rip-offs of really cool Hollywood movies. The sore remake of 'Usual Suspects' and 'Memento' come to mind! Or the rip-off of 'Fight Club' that was called...Fight Club.

But tell all this to an American guy and he'll tell you "Yeah man, thats all there but still Americans are dumb". Arrrrrrggggggghhhh.
"But you guys created 'America's Got Talent', invented the 'Weekend viagra' and 'have a McDonald's within a diametric mile everywhere on Earth'.
"Meehhh, we're still dumb"

I agree...but this article is too stupid to make up, I think it's part of them being 'humble'

Um......many American movies are remakes of foreign films, as are many of our television shows. This is often done because the American public generally isn't aware that the original films exist. You do not know this because you are not intelligent enough to construct a proper sentence.

Hell, even reality shows like "American Idol" and "Whose Line Is It Anyway" are copies of British television.
