Maybe if americans would concentrate more on geography and less on Britney

These surveys are not designed to make american kids look stupid. They're
just made to test general knowledge. I must admit I couldn't name each US
state with its capital, but at least I know where the US are, and I wouldn't
mistake India for Africa on a map...
As for the beer commercials: The Budweiser frogs win.
By the way, is 'knowify' a bit like 'learn'?
