Lunchtime Quickie: Miles Per Hour

Sounds like many of the eighth-grade math classes I tutored.
If it's real, I suspect she's in favor of home-schooling.

How can he stand to be married to her? It's a dick move to film her stupidity, but imagine having to live with it. Ai yi yi.

My 7-year-old has mastered this. It's not evidence of a failure of the American education system, just a brainfart.

There's a distinction between odometer reading and speed, which sounds like it might be the origin of the derailment of her train of thought. She mentions tire inflation, for instance.

Pretty sad day when a Gawker-owned car website nails the real story here in its headline:
How To Be A Dick To Your Wife At 80 MPH
How To Be A Dick To Your Wife At 80 MPH

At the beginning of the video, he should have introduced her as "my-soon-to-be-ex-wife". Or maybe "my-wife-until-I-post-this-on-YouTube".

Dicks married to dumb women and sharing it with the world: it's not a new phenomena.

@3, so you tutored 13 and 14 year olds in public schools who couldn't figure this out and so you make a crack about home-schooling? Because homeschoolers don't know math?
Brilliant!
Brilliant!

@10 With how this video has gone viral (and the dickishness it took to post it), I would be surprised if they're still married by this time next year.

@16, 19 - thank you. Welcome respite from the level of misogyny and wounded MRA 'WAAAAAAAH WHAT ABOUT THE MENZ?!' found elsewhere on the internet today.

I hate that fact that the boyfriend is a cute douchebag. I hate even more than I'd probably do him anyway.
32
Okay okay, hear me out on this...what if you were driving 80 MPH for 15 minutes, then slowed down to 50 MPH for 30 minutes, then speed up to 100 MPH for 15 minutes.....how many miles were you literally traveling over the course of one hour. That's the only possible way I can comprehend her confusion. Yeah, that guys a douche.
33
I watched about 20 seconds and just found it unbearable.
Here's the real question, why the fuck is he making a video while driving and going 65+ mph?
Anyway, my guess is that it's fake solely based on the comments in this thread. However, they're still both fucking morons...not because she can't do math; but because they're vapid little fame whores who think making a video, while driving 65+ mph, might give them a little dose of youtube stardom. Or maybe we're the morons for giving them what they crave.

Doesn't anyone else notice that she's just super stoned? I mean, I'm still not that stupid when stoned, but I can imagine it being possible.

@21: The problem with home-schoolers is they don't know what they don't know, and there's no-one there to point it out to them.
In a public school, the ignorant have a chance of being identified and provided with...a tutor.

I'm gonna click over to Youtube and I'm gonna bet that 95% of the comments are mysogynistic crap, because this is Youtube we're talking about.
Aaaaand
Hey! Comments are turned off entirely. Well played, internet.

Maybe a better question for him to ask would have been: how big of a ticket will I get for filming myself being a dick and you being stupid (perhaps her natural state) while driving 80 MPH?
I was distracted by the big pile of stuff in the back of the car.

I'm guessing that this guy uploaded the video AFTER he broke up with her. That, or this is a marriage built on disrespect. I feel yuck just knowing that I share the planet with this guy who revels in someone's stupidity. The fact that he'd marry her is just sick.

THESE PEOPLE ARE MORMONS. I goddamn guarantee it. He says at the beginning that they're traveling from Logan (in Northern Utah) to Boise (in Idaho). MORMON. It explains her uneducated ignorance (she's almost proud of it) and it explains his dickish lack of respect for his dumb wife. Or at least it explains why he would marry someone he found to be stupid.
