How bad is your geography?

I remember watching some lame-ass reality show a year or two ago. I think it was called "American Girl" or something like that. Basically a beauty pageant type of affair modeled on a reality show-type format.

Of course the procession of bimbos rolled out well for the look nice and display some kind of musical talent part; but the absolute funniest part was on the *intellectual* side of the competition. I laughed myself sick.

During a series of interviews they were asked a similar question: What country shares the longest border with the United States.

The answers from the contestants included such gems as:

Europe (yup that's a *country* alright)
Spain (only an Ocean away)
Mexico (yup it shares a border, but the largest!!)
And one really intelligent one asked what a border was.

I wonder why they broadcast that. It certainly gave the impression that they were completely stupid.

In case some here don't know the answer...it's Canada. Not too hard to figure out.
