i think i might barf.

i got home and was about to watch Criminal Minds when i noticed the new game show, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, was on. i thought i'd scope it out. it was a sickening display of stupidity. a young, black woman had to quit after she reached $100,000 because she didn't know how many decades were in 2 millennia. (it's 200 in case you're a dolt like her.) and, before you applaud her for getting that far, she had to have help on several questions from a 10 year old. he told her which country has the longest border with the U.S. and how many sides are on a trapezoid. she also had to pray that she got the right answer to "what star is closest to the Earth?" if you cannot bet your life that the Sun is, you should just kill yourself right now because you're as dumb as dirt. and to top it all off, she called the library, the liberry. ahh! what a way to showcase Americans.
