There's one episode where this guy mentions the VH1 show but the start of this episode is well, blatant. He comes in talking about peacocking and negs. You can watch it here http://www.tvduck.com/frame.php?epi=242769&view=319503
I'm not sure whether this is allowed or not because it's a full tv show episode, if the vid gets removed it's episode 8 of season 2 and it's right at the start. Really shows how mainstream pickup is becoming.

That is interesting; pick up IS becoming fairly mainstream. I bet 7/10 girls I know, know about pick up (and many probably from vh1's pick up artist)

HOWEVER. It is funny when some guys on these forums post "Soon everyone will know pickup"
WRONG
... yeah, virtually anyone can learn all about pick-up and attempt to execute it, but, how many will become successful pick-up ARTISTS who can get a lay every weekend? Probably around 5% who attempt

It is well-known fact that the youth of a nation is the nation’s future. American sociologists from the National Geographic Society decided to do a research to find what the future of the USA will be. And actually their findings were far from being promising.

More than 500 young American adults between the ages of 18 and 24 took part in the survey. They were asked geographical questions about the modern world. At the end of the test they demonstrate a limited understanding of the world beyond their country’s border. In this survey young Americans answered about half (54%) of all the questions correctly.

The results showed causes for concern. Here are the most evident examples of young Americans’ illiteracy.

Only 37% of young Americans can find Iraq on a map - though U.S. troops have been there since 2003.

6 in 10 young Americans don't speak a foreign language fluently.

20% of young Americans think Sudan is in Asia. (It's the largest country in Africa.)

48% of young Americans believe the majority population in India is Muslim. (It's Hindu—by a landslide.)

Half of young Americans can't find New York on a map.

Three-quarters cannot find Indonesia on a map – even after images of the tsunami and the damage it caused to this region of the world played prominently across television screens and in the pages of print media over many months in 2005.

The majority of the American young adults overestimate the total size of the US population and fail to understand how much larger the population of China is.

Three-quarters believe English is the most common spoken native language in the world, rather than Mandarin Chinese.

Only Two-thirds (67%) can find Louisiana on a US map and half (52%) can find Mississippi – leaving a third or more who cannot find these states, in spite of months of intensive media coverage of the 2005 hurricanes and their aftermath.

These results suggest that young people in the United States - the most recent graduates of our educational system - are unprepared for an increasingly global future. Far too many lack even the most basic skills for navigating the international economy or understanding the relationships among people and places that provide critical context for world events.
