There are 5 freedoms protected by the 1st amendment and 5 Simpson family members.
Only one in four Americans could name more than one of the 5 freedoms, but more than half could name at least two members of the cartoon family.
About 1 in 5 Americans thought the right to own a pet was one of the freedoms.
22% of Americans could name all 5 Simpson characters. By comparison, just 1 in 1,000 people could name all five 1st Amendment freedoms.
In addition, more people could name the 3 American Idol TV show judges than 3 of the 5 freedoms.
So, can you name the 5 Simpson family members?
The 3 American Idol Judges?
The 5 First Amendment freedoms?
Of course, I know all the Simpsons (Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie) and Idol Judges (Randy, Paula Simon).
I also know the Simpsons' dog's name (Satan's Little Helper) and their address (523 Evergreen Terrace) and the name of the original co-host on American Idol, along with Ryan Seacrest, who was fired after the first season (Brian Dunkleman).
I am an attorney with a Politcal Science degree. My father is a former South Carolina State Senator. I could only name 4 of the freedoms (religion, speech, press, and assembly).
The 5th freedom is petition for redress of grievances.

Perhaps this is the reason that the only Trivial Pursuit I have a chance of playing competitively is the DVD Pop Culture version. I guess we should all go buy it!
The Simpson's dog is "Santa's Little Helper" not Satan's!!
