I thought that lack of geography knowledge was exaggerated. Alas, it is not so.
Someone please tell me that's a joke?
Please?

I'm afraid of Americans.
I’m afraid of the world
Do what now?
haha
IMHO, invading Canada is the best thing we could do to fight the war on terror. That guy was awesome.

Oh say can you see!

Why do all of these people keep placing the location pin on Australia for every country they say?
So far Australia = Iran, North Korea, and France.

Because the dude's map had Australia labelled as whatever country they were complaining about.

The one African-American gentlemen wants to bomb the hell out of every country. 
I never fail to be amazed at the ignorance of even highly edjamacated yanquis to find anywhere beyond their local Taco Bell.
And you know what else pisses me off? Why do you have to add the name of a bloody country when naming a city. (Rome, Italy? Of course it's in Funting Italy FFS!) Worst examples I've seen include "Scotland, England" and "Copenhagen, Scandinavia"
See? You've set me off now Dana.
Nurse! Nurse!

Oh, it's just a big blurry blob on my 10" black and white screen.
That makes sense then I guess.
Um. It's a joke. Or more correctly, a clever bit of editing to make a joke. The first hint should be noticing that the guy doing the "interviews" has a map where every nation that the people happen to name coincidentally has that name written over Australia. You also don't actually hear him ask a question prior to them naming it and putting a pin on the map. For all we know, the guy came up to people, said: "Find where on this map I've written X", and filmed them doing it.
Don't get me wrong. The state of geographic knowledge in the US is pretty bad. But it's not *that* bad...

My guess is that we are used to appending the State onto a city name and 90% of the popoulus think Italy, France, and Scandanavia are all States of Europe anyway.

Yup that sure explains the guy that said "I just realized that North Korea is a whole lot bigger than South Korea". Or the couple that said they should attack Iran from the west.
I agree that some clever editing was done, but these people are sh[Aqua][/Aqua]itfaced stupid nonetheless

Nope, Rome's in Springfield.

Because every Bobdam state has a Rome, and an Ithaca, and an Athens. We get used to saying "Rome, Italy" to differentiate it from Rome, Georgia.
The "Scotland, England" one I can't explain, however.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Or they're joking along with the guy doing the filming. You'd be amazed what people will say and do if there's a camera involved. Just look at the Jerry Springer show...

As a highschool dropout who can actually identify countries on a map I wish to disassociate from these so-called "educated" Americans. Their views on terrorist nations was extrodinarily retarded as well. Fu[black][/black]cking morons.
Except that old dude who mentioned a giant glass crater. You go gramps!

Yeah, I'm pretty amazed at what Dubya says in front of a TV camera too. Sensationalist presidents FTW!
