Go to any country and film for long enough and you will get what you want.

You've been here Trevor, you know the folk, thick as mince some of them, for instance...I was talking to a woman at work and she remarked how it was that the moon over Turkey was nothing like the moon over Scotland, she thought every country had its own moon.

My wife handed a new secretary a very important report to the COO and said to "expedite this." The dear girl took the report, nodded and left the office. The next day the flippin' COO of Ochsner Clinic called Eileen and asked where the report was. Eileen chased down the secretary and asked what she did with the report.
"I threw it away ... just like you told me to do."

That reminds me of the woman whose car had suddenly shut down. Well, she managed to push the car to a gas station and when the attendant saw her gauge on E he told her the tank was empty. "Well, I thought that E stood for Enough and F meant Finished".

The sad thing is I probably could've wandered around the same places that guy did proclaiming my self the King and Queen of Cheese and, with enough editing, we could've gotten the same results.
There's a late night talk show host out in L.A. who does the same thing. Only the people he targets don't seem to know anything about the country they live in, so it's no surprise to me that someone could splice together enough stupidity for a similar style segment.
There was another show that went to the beach and set out a petition to end Women's Suffrage. It was edited to show a good number of women who signed the petition. I'm sure many did, but I'm always wanting to see the footage of the woman that told them to go take a long walk off a short pier...
But, that sort of thing doesn't get ratings....

I agree with Snaphoo. That's Jay Leno who ...
Hey, wait a minute!
How can you be BOTH King AND Queen of Cheese?!?

I'm suspicious.

The really scarely part is that most of the people interviewed probably had ATLEAST high school diploma's. I don't think they had to do TOO much editing

It is now known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (I think Bosnia and Serbia don't even mention the Yugo bit.... dreadful cars... I'm not surprised)
