Stupid People On Parade

I was never a smart 5th grader. In fact, I’m not even a smart college student. Don’t ask me to add, subtract, multiply, divide, or spell from memory unless there is a calculator or dictionary in the premises. And don’t, I repeat, don’t ask me to go on a cable show network just to prove how educationally challenged I am.

This month FOX premiered the show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” The setup of the show not only proves how money hungry we are as a society, but how willing we are to make fools of ourselves for the all-mighty dollar. Though, I can’t figure out who is to more to blame, the people who created it, or the ones who volunteer to appear on the show. But in reality it takes two to tango and a box full of money to make people do just about anything.
