The Validity of Opinion Polls

If you've ever been tempted to take opinion poll results seriously, take a look at this YouTube video.

Yikes.... I've seen something similar before and am not sure what to make of those bits. I really wonder how many people gave intelligent responses that they didn't show, or how often one of the people they did show realized (for example) that Iran is not in the south Pacific and corrected themselves just to have the correction part cut out. Some of that certainly is scary, though.
