Ay carumba! Americans know more about pop culture than about their own constitution, according to a recent survey. 

Only one in four Americans surveyed could name at least two of the five freedoms upheld by the US Constitution’s First Amendment; however, more than half of respondents could name at least two members of the cartoon family.  22% per cent of respondents could name all five Simpsons; sadly, only 1 person out of 1,000 could name all five First Amendment freedoms.

The survey also found that American Idol judges and various advertising slogans were also more memorable than the pillars of American society - freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition for redress of grievances.

So, tell Congress to eat my shorts, man.
