That is pretty funny and quite scary. Hopefully not a repost!

[Chainguy]

Dear God, please, tell me thats fake. It HAS to be fake, surely?

[Muntu]

It is neither of the first two, so probably not #3 either

[ytrebil]

The 2004 answer made me LOL. How can you be 3 years out for an event which look place 7 years ago!? Haha.

[Chainguy]

Its the belief that 30,000 were killed thats also fairly scary. Don't even start me on the guy who thought Millions died that day. Bloody hell

[FourWheelDrift]

They wouldn't be so confused over when it happened if they called it 11/9.

[BlueCello]

[Rawwr]

Well that's not at all scary.

To be fair, you could find people that stupid all over the UK if you wanted to.

Doubt it is that representative.

[ytrebil]

Anyone know where the video footage is taken? All looks around the same area... originally I thought NYC itself but on second thoughts, Chicago?

True.

Ask some random british people questions about the London bombings, and you'd get the same sort of answers.

I agree, but the 7/7 bombings were insignificant compared to those of 9/11.

The interesting thing is how many people they asked before they had enough stupid people to make the film. Obviously a lot of people they asked would have got all or most of the questions correct, there was probably 10 people on that film. Did they ask 20 people and half of them were stupid, or was it more like they had to ask 100 before they got enough stupid answers, if its quite a few it must have taken them a fair while.

Looks like Broadway to me. 42nd St / 7th Av area?

In one. Some of it anyways, some of it was off site from Broadway, like the black girl near the start.

[ytrebil]

Yeah it is New York actually, I remember Planet Hollywood and the Swatch shop being in Times Square.

I would guess that some were more concerned with how they look on camera and just tried the middle answer.

I've just found this also which is amusing:

Why do they have to say Quizzed? That brings to mind school spelling tests and Sun trivia questions.
