The thing is, the US has a very large population, so the number of idiots is much higher, even though the idiot:population ratio is the same as that of almost every country.
The good news is that American TV is helping to reduce the number of stupid people with innovative (and informative) shows like Jackass. No, it doesn't make them any more intelligent, but rather empowers them to remove themselves from the gene pool. The bad news is that the ratio doesn't get any lower, because the population gets lowered at the same time. |
