who's smarter than a 5th grader?

well im watching who's smarter than a 5th grader....
the questions are so funny
  • how many sides in a trapezoid? 4
  • there are secondary colors... one of them is purple and green? whats missing? orange
  • 11 plus negative 14? duh... -4
its just hilarious to me that they cant answer the questions:))
but honestly what im more pissed about was the ripoff of this show
i was going through channels the other day and i saw that there was a pinoy version that wasnt a branch of this show. I mean seriously! were a creative country right!? why cant we make our own game shows? like DESPERADAS... an obvious attempt to rip off desperate housewives. They even copied the style in which they advertise. I'm not even pissed off at shows like Philippine's next top model... or project runway Philippines.. not even Pinoy idol! its fine because they are actual branches of the original concept... but were ripping off these shows!

I mean we already have fake DVDs that i admittedly buy. We copy their culture so much that we neglect our own. We aren't as loyal to ourselves, nor are we as creative anymore. I rarely see anything purely Filipino anymore. We don't preserve what culture we do have anymore. We have awesome music, awesome artwork, awesome architecture.... Our country has the best resources known to the world and we don't even use THAT. Our country is effing dying from the stupid rice shortage. Talk about insane! WERE AN AGRICULTURAL COUNTRY! hello? why are we even importing rice anymore? We sell what treasures we do have. We neglect the country we say we love. No one even sings the national anthem in the theaters anymore. I personally think thats just plain sad. Were what? too embarrassed? gahd...

WHY ARE WE SO TRYING HARD AMERICANS?
for an intelligent country...a country with gifted people... were pretty stupid.

The Philippines is NOT smarter than a 5th grader

its probably why were such a poor country... we cant solve the answer to the simple question of how we should suck it up, get along and progress as a damn country for a change
