The most unbelievable game show ever
Fox apparently has a game show...

"Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" hosted, appropriately, by Jeff Foxworthy.

Damn, that's pathetic. I just saw some idiot miss this question: Which state is the farthest west, Alaska, California, or Nevada? He only stayed in the game because his partner, a 5th grader, answered it correctly.

And now he's struggling with this question: What ocean covers the North Pole?

What a

FUCKING IDIOT.

Had to "peek" at a kid's answer.

The most pathetic thing about it might be that the prizes go up to $1,000,000, and no one has ever won the top prize. It boggles the mind. I would ask how in the world the Fox network finds morons like this, but I guess they just grab them from the FoxNews viewers.

1. And I thought "Beat the Crusher" was bad.
That was a game show where people gambled their cars to win a new car, the loser got their car crushed. Could only last for so long because people "got wise" and bought a secondhand car to gamble that instead.

Mark.

3. Alaska's a state?!
Next you'll be telling me Hawai'i got statehood, too. And everyone knows the North Pole is covered with ice, not an ocean. Just who do you think you're trying to kid?

:sarcasm:

What a :dunce: ! Was he on Bush**'s male cheerleading squad or something?

5. How dumb do you have to be to be on this show?
The quality they're looking for has to be a unique gift of stupid.

6. There is no excuse for every contestant not winning the $1,000,000
unless they're fourth graders or something.

I mean, come on! Even if you're fuzzy on some things, you can get a set of textbooks for grades one through five and go through them in a couple of weeks. A college educated person (which the dink who didn't know Alaska is farther west than California was) should be able to go through the entire first grade cirriculum in one day.
