Thousands Fail IQ Test
12 May 2002
Thousands of people across the country took part in a nationwide intelligence test last night. The research, which was conducted by the BBC, tested the IQs of over 16,000 people. An over-excited Anne Robinson and an as-smug-as-ever Phillip Schofield told viewers that, of all the football supporters who registered, York City fans were the most intelligent, while people living in Leicester were likely to have the highest IQ scores. The government has denied suggestions that York City fans living in Leicester will be banned from working for the Transport Department.
Producers reportedly asked Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott to appear on the programme, but he declined. A spokesman for Mr Prescott said that he was too busy, but had he appeared he would have "knocked the other contestants out".
Some of the results were more worrying, though, as approximately 27% of people who took part failed completely and were put into the "thick as pig shit" category. A researcher at the BBC told DeadBrain that they had all tripped up on the "Who do you vote for?" question and answered "Conservative".
How cool is this?
