"Millionaire" questions are getting more asinine than ever.
Whenever they get an Einstein as a contestant, they always lob him that "sure thing" pop culture asinine question. Just the other day, this brainy dude was doing real well getting up to around $50,000, so the question that makes him lose is about Flintstone Vitamins. Which character came last?

Most contestants are really dumb on geography especially. One didn't know if Louisiana was east of Texas or west of Texas. I have to agree with people that say America is a dumbed down society. Just watch Millionaire.

3. Who cares about flinstone vitamins?
A more useful, poignant question to see how ignorant (or not) people are is "How many soldiers have died in Iraq? How many civillians have died in Iraq? How much has Bush spent in Iraq? How much has Bush spent on giving healthcare to all americans? How many WMD's have they found in Iraq?"

Edit: sorry those were actually QUESTIONS not a question.
