There have been a number of segments on TV here in Australia lately about Americans being ignorant of geography/having poor general knowledge etc. I went on youtube and googled "stupid Australians" and came up with a few segments almost identical to those airing here, but with Australian people instead of Americans (note, some of them were not actually Australian people, but people putting on accents etc or from NZ and Britain).
These segments had watermarks which suggested they were actually aired on TV at some point, in the US, not just vids made for Youtube.
SO: are these segments common in the US, too? If so, do they only make fun of Aussies? And, finally, is it really that hard to tell our accents from Brits or Kiwis??
