They are just Americans. I've a friend of mine living there and he tells me that many people think Europe is a country :lol:

Question:
- Why can't one fifth of Americans find the U.S. on a world map?

Two days later her "do-over" answer was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DEBNMhziqc

"Personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on a map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. If the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography in our education so people will learn how to read maps better."

Comment:
She was right the first time. That do-over sucked! You know she didn't even come up with that and that's the best they could do after more than 48-hours practice!

Caitlin said she was shocked at the question and that's why she froze up. "Everything did come at me at once. And I made a mistake - everybody makes a mistake - I'm human. Right when the question was asked of me, I was in shock!"

What they should've done is asked her to find the U.S. on a world map. The shock alone would've sent her into cardiac arrest.
