Everyone knows that these Jay Leno-esque “Man on the Street” interview videos are baloney, right? After all, it’s easy to ask questions to a large number of people, then edit together a video that only includes the stupidest answers people gave. Still, the following clip is worth sharing—if only because it’s incredible that in it, someone confuses Harry Reid with Harry Truman.

As Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s jaunty theme music plays, a Yahoo staffer asks several young people simple questions: Who’s the Vice President? Who’s the Speaker of the House? How many U.S. senators are there? Predictably, most of the interviewees are utterly stumped. Perhaps this is meant to show that kids in America aren’t too apathetic to vote – they’re simply too ignorant to know about the government.

Somehow, though, we think that if Yahoo had targeted older Americans, they would have been able to find fairly similar results.

The video is below:

Ask them the stats of a NFL quarterback, What Paris Hilton is up to, or when the next version of Halo or W.o.W. comes out. Stay away from “important” stuff like Math , Science, English or History. And don’t get into politics. They will pull up websites like this one, read a few choice comments, and ask you who the adults and who the children are.

If those students would just pay their union dues, they would then learn about the important things in life.

It is called the “If you don’t pay your Union Dues, you don’t learn squat” program. Very effective, don’t you think???
