Congratulations on Your First Woody

Canadian Broadcasting Company show "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" they find some people who aren't versed with Canadian geography on the campus of Harvard. We know Cory (who posted about he clips on YouTube on BoingBoing) is from Canada and perhaps he's getting more amusement out of it than we are. There's one clip which showcases some Harvard students and a professor who don't seem to know that Saskatchewan isn't on the coast (you can't hunt seals 'cause they ain't got 'em), another clip shows folks in Faneuil Hall congratulating Canada on their wooden coin (third-grade humor is funny in it's own right). What's funnier? Asking ordinary Americans to point out Idaho or Tennessee on a map – or asking Bush about other world leaders while he's campaigning for office.

Harvard segment starts at about minute four of this clip.
