Even if it was edited, most Americans are absolutely HOPELESS at geography. We have the theory that, seeing as we're the center of the universe, we don't need to know where the hell Iraq is. It's sick. And yes, this is a serious pet peeve of mine.

Even if the map was wrong, you'd have to still be a little behind in the geography department to fall for it. It's like putting mud in a cup and telling people it's coffee. Only the stupid people actually take your word for it.

Everyone knows editting does wonders. I can swear to you more than half of the people they stopped actually knew the map was wrong, or didn't say something stupid. But they wouldn't get their point across if they showed that, would they? They just show the stupid people. Every country has stupid people. Granted America has more, but people that make videos such as this just to insult America need to open their eyes.
I like these calm little moments before the storm.

I could understand your frustration if Americans didn't make it so damn easy.

Wow...that is just sad. I don't know whether to laugh or cry....

If you take a closer look at the map, the people doing the 'interviews' actually swapped all the names of the countries around. So when you see someone putting a flag on Australia thinking it is Iran, it is because they LABELED Australia 'Iran.' Granted, the people are stupid to fall for it, but come on, there is a difference between someone thinking that Australia is Iran, and just putting a flag on Australia because it is labeled Iran. Leave it to everyone else to make Americans look stupid so they can get a good kick out of it.

Good job Meagan. Though it's really educators that may be wronging our generation, and possibly the next.

Wow, I didn't know that Iran, North Korea, and France were all in Australia! My geography teacher got it all wrong... This is what happens when you don't pay attention in school, kiddies. You get stupid and made fun of by an Australian. Remember that now.
