Woodrow:
Britons just can't seem to find "Chicago," "Dallas" on a map

LONDON (AFP) - Sixty-five percent of Britons don't know in which US city the hit musical "Chicago" is set in, according to a nationwide survey for an upcoming TV quiz show.
 
Another 57 percent didn't know where the celebrated television soap opera "Dallas" was set, and two-thirds were equally at a loss to identify the city at the heart of the Roger Whittaker ballad "Streets of London".

YouGov, a market research organisation that uses on-line panels, questioned 1,000 respondents for a quiz show on Channel 4 titled "Beat the Nation" that goes on air next Monday. Its findings were released Friday.

The poll also indicated that 67 percent of Britons don't know when World War II ended, 64 percent didn't know where the French Alps were, and 70 percent didn't know where the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is based.

The answers, by the way, are Chicago, Dallas, 1945, France and Vienna.

Reassuringly, the show's website on Friday said that "100 percent of the nation know the capital of France" -- but then there's never been a blockbuster hit called "Paris".

Lincoln:
True. People in general are stupid nowadays. Look at everything popular nowadays, from TV shows to movies to music, etc...

Don Breezio:
AFTER THIS I DONT EVER WANNA HEAR A BRITISH PERSON SAY AMERICANS ARE IGNORANT.

Trauma-san:
Damn.  I feel good now, hell, I knew all 5 of those answers.  I must be a genius.  Or at least 5 times as smart as a Brit.
