OPA! It's All Greek to Me!

You might be surprised to learn that our research has shown that most people know very little about the contributions that Greece and Greeks have made to our way and quality of life. Recently, we hit the streets to find out more about what people know about all things Greek. We conducted some impromptu "jaywalking" interviews similar to those that you've probably seen on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

@TheLolizzZ

We invite you--and encourage you to share with others (the "O" in OPA!)--to join the OPA! Village and follow us on Twitter (@TheOPAWay).

We invite everyone to join the "OPA! Village" (part of a new lifestyle/workstyle, The OPA! Way®: "Living Your Inner Greece!," to inspire people to live ALL of life fully with Enthusiasm & Meaning!). On September 15, 2010, we celebrated the very first "OPA! Day" (details on our web site) in Rethymno, Crete, to recognize Greece's vast contributions to the world. Beginning this year, we hope to see it spread to other locations around the world! OPA!

Food food food! Its all OUR fault! Nobody will ever search in history books about Philosophy, art and culture of a civilization. We, ourselves, should make aware people (at least the people who are interested in that) of Greek culture. And what do we do? My big fat greek wedding?? A hiddeous parody of ourselves?? If we dont have some self-respect we will never gain the respect we demand from others.

They dont even know what countries they are in war and why...and you expect them to know all these things?Dont overload them please xD

[mitsoz]

The questions are as outrageous as it would be asking a European about Indian mythology. I have no clue about neither Indian philosophy nor religion. The only thing i know of them is their food.

@HAHAministries Well, in a sense it is if one believes in the existence of Heaven and Hell....

This video shows just how much of a decline there has been in the study and embracing of the humanities in this country. Shame that people don't know these things as they are not just part of Greek culture but the culture of any well educated person.

[epalema]

I think this is pathetic of the people that did the video....so what do you try to prove?

Hades is a location. LMAO rotf
