Unclear on the concept

But if the cliff is 80 miles away and he's driving 80 mph, how long will it take him to reach it?  

Is he eastbound or westbound?

She lacks some math skills but that doesn't make her stupid. Marrying that guy, OTOH, was pretty stupid.

He's a douche, but she's still unbelievably dumb. I could never live with a girl that stupid, no matter what other skills she had. Seriously.

I keep watching this, hoping that I'm missing something and it's all a setup for YouTube. Speaking as someone with less than stellar math skills, math has nothing to do with this one. It is simple common sense and logic that she is so sorely lacking. What really scares me is that it's probably far more representative of their age group - both male and female - than we would like to believe.

When I watch that clip, I feel secure in the knowledge that both my daughters are going to have great jobs and great careers.  If they're competing with people like that, their future is assured.

Have we? I see the video I posted was someone else's reload of the one they originally uploaded to their channel in Dec. 2011. Aside from that, what suggests it's a fake?

I wouldn't call it a fake, but did you have a look at the link I posted? They are certainly taking full advantage of their 15 minutes! T-shirts with the "80 miles" theme, plus a metric ton of videos. This strikes me as more of a "Shit My Dad Says" phenomenon.

I did. Considering that the original has over 8 million views now (how did I miss it?) thousands of comments and some video responses, you can hardly blame them for offering t-shirts. Looks to me like they're just having fun goofing around and sharing videos of their life.
