The one eleven

Pop quiz, hot shot!

It’s late. You’re up. Tonight, let’s try something different with the one eleven. Instead of telling you the news, we’re going to quiz you on it — it’ll be a good warm-up for the real quizzes and tests that are coming back into all of our lives soon enough. Give it a try by clicking on the question mark after the jump!

Actual news: quiz edition



Don’t worry — it’s pretty easy. If you do need some help, though, there’s a link from every question to the news item that the question is referencing!


…and a funny (and perhaps anger-inducing?) video

If you didn’t do as well as you’d hoped on the quiz, you can at least console yourself in the knowledge that this person probably wouldn’t have either. Thanks for playing and “Adios! … That’s Spanish!” (Watch the video to get the joke…on the other hand, you probably won’t be able to make it to the point where she says that, so we’ll just tell you: That is how she ends her rant.).

    I cannot even think straight after watching this video. I think it has permanently killed my most cherished brain cells. If she wants to be an anti-feminist then I support her decision 100% because I would not want an half-brained twit taking jobs from hard-working intelligent women like myself. As for her political opinions I think she reserves the right to talk about the people she would vote for, but personally I could care less.

      My first impression was that she and her kind are to blame for the stereotypical “dumb blonde” jokes, and I was about to shut down the video. Then, I started looking at her mannerisms and listening at her expressions, and realized that she’s an interesting case for anthropological and psychological studies. Further than that, I must agree with you that it’s a good idea if she’d rather stay home cleaning and taking care of the kids…although on second thought, poor kids.
