Why is everyone so convinced every American is dumb? I mean sure, there are a lot of them and everybody loves to laugh at dumb Americans, but you have to remember they do have a large population, hence why there are more dumb Americans than dumb Australians.

However if we had the same population as America, I'm sure we'd have just as many dumb people in the country. Perhaps even more.

I don't think the show would work in the US without it being dumbed down, and if it was dumbed down it would be a real shame and prob not as enjoyable for us aussies. Don't forget us boys!  :oops:

Yeah you're right it's just too highbrow for American audiences- It would be just too hard to dumb down sketches like when Craig is taking a dump outside a newsagent or when Chas is having fake sex in a bedding store.

Wow, that's pretty awesome.
I wish it wasn't FOX though-they'll barely get any creative control. IFC would be awesome.

They are led by Bush.  So, everyone who voted for him, or who didn't vote is sort of heading into that category.

Though, it's the education and so on that should be crticised.

That's it. Blame the teachers :P

Teachers who, by the way, are awarded merit pay for student performance on national tests, meaning that they don't actually "teach" anything substantial like, oooh, how to be critically-thinking, active participant in society. They just teach them to answer test questions in a rote fashion so they don't get the sack.

I think the highly nationalistic/patriotic culture has something to do with them following their leaders blindly. And also the ridiculous amount of "distraction" in their society, that is far more interesting than caring about something like politics. I mean, the place is the home of Hollywood and Disneyland and Jerry Springer.
