I love "Talking to Americans"
The one with the Harvard professor looking like a fool was great, and so was the one where the governor of Idaho (I think) congratulated Canada on adopting the 24 hour clock (how fucking stupid is that?)
I read an interview with mercer where he said he actually felt a bit sorry airing the governor one because the guy was actually a really nice guy and all and actually reccomended a few good restaurants in town, etc.
But then he thought it was too good to let go.
Mercer even managed to land on Nightline with Ted Kopel and he said that most people usually get the right answer, that is they get the wrong answer. A few will know he is full of shit, but they are few and far between.
The scary ones are when he asks people if they support the president bombing Saskatchewan, or the West Edmonton Mall, and they all say, "Yes, I think the bombing of Saskatchewan was a good idea"
Just goes to show you how aware some americans are about who they are bombing this week.
Lastly, the guy they hired to replace mercer on 22 minutes has quit, it would be great if he would come back, but somehow, i doubt it.
