Brotha's IQ is 175! What's yours?

Brotha laughs in the face of these ridiculous IQ ads that have been popping up all over the internet like weeds. The modus operandi appears to require a well known person, a fictional IQ score and a tease line to make you want to prove that you are smarter than the person pictured. With ads like the one below, I can't decide if I should laugh or cry.


Now despite the fact that an IQ of 110 (which is regarded as above average) seems rather generous in this case, the more important point is... WHO THE HELL CARES? 

Sadly this IQ test 'idea' has turned out to be a rather profitable one for advertisers (no doubt due to individuals with sub-100 IQs who keep clicking on these ads hoping to improve their score... the irony of it all) and it appears we'll have to tolerate it for some time yet. These ads have made appearances in various languages, some are bizzare, some have been altered in sick attempts at humour, while others are just plain ridiculous (130? seriously? drop the 1 at least). 

Of course, knowing google ad's cruel sense of humour, there is probably an IQ ad flanking this post, no doubt with Britney's face attached. I can only hope that the readers resist the urge to prove that they have a higher intelligence quotient than a woman who shaved her head, was admitted to a mental institution and flashes her genetalia as a hobby. If you click on the ad, don't bother taking the test, I'll save you the trouble, she wins.

However, if you only take one thing away from this post, let it be this... Brotha's IQ is 175, can you beat that?

PS: All the contributors here at 'Where is Brotha?!' have IQ scores of over 140. Can you beat them? Go on, Brotha dares you!
