The Balkans always gets me! People only bother with geography when someone is getting bombed anyway!

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.

Canada rules!
