Is Europe A Country?

Published by Toronto Mike on November 29, 2007 @ 21:27 in Television

idolI remember Kellie Pickler from American Idol, and she didn't come across as the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I assumed she was playing dumb. After watching this clip of her on some game show, I'm sure it's no act.

She sincerely thought Europe was a country and clearly never heard of the country we call Hungary. I went to my five year old son's parent-teacher interview tonight and I saw the work he's doing on geography. He already knows Europe isn't a country.

Watch this and cringe.

Who said you got on 'Idol' for being inteligent? On the other hand, if Australia can be a country...

It's safe to say you don't get on Idol for being intelligent.

Forget Idol... I wonder how many adult Americans think Europe is a country?

Between her and the one from the pageant, it's no wonder there are so many dumb-blonde jokes out there.

Well, considering a very large number of Americans can't find Canada on a map, I wouldn't be surprised if a large number thought Europe was a country.

How did she get through any of her formal education? did she even go to school? That is illiterate and ignorant on a whole new level.
