It's not as if the videoclip pretends to be a scientific study.

Jakiri already said it, but it's highly likely that the sample size and location are somewhat biased in the name of good satire. It's the very fact that it's not pretending to be a scientific study that the conclusions drawn from results can not be considered accurate.
Don't get me wrong, it is funny and certainly does demonstrate that somewhere in the USA there are a handful of really stupid Americans
(On a more related note.. my favourite part is the fact that despite recent heavy involvement of our Prime Minister with Mr Bush.. that they have absolutely no idea what he looks like and are willing to believe some complete stranger is the PM)
