To celebrate the Fourth of July this week, the folks at Fox's Animation Domination HD put together a short cartoon on how capable Captain America, the embodiment of American exceptionalism, is at things like math and reading. And he's not very good. Using global statistics as a lodestar, ADHD's version of Cap isn't particularly exceptional at anything save for raw consumption. And that's before things get really dark at the end... All this makes their use of the original 1960s theme song all the more depressing.
