I added the last two because they were mentioned in the article but not in the list. This was conducted to prove that people have trouble distinguishing between science fiction and reality. I would have expected to see this conducted in the US but I was shocked when it was the UK. Pretty funny if you ask me, score one for 'Murica!

Indeed, when i was about 12 my school took my year to Cadburys world and i remember being on the bus driving through birmingham and i did not see one white person for around 15 minutes until we got near the centre, just pure asian... No racist intent btw. But even their accent sounds dumb lol... "Hi, my names Dave from Autoglass" .. That advert cracks me up everytime.
