Oh, Fox News, how so still-in-existence?

[tzikeh]

Sarah Palin says Africa is a country, and Fox News knows better than to disagree with Sarah Palin. So, if Africa is a country, and Egypt is a country, then Egypt can't be in Africa, right? WE BETTER MOVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING FUCK!?!?

I sure didn't know Egypt had magical teleportation abilities (eating Iraq in the process, it seems). The more you know!

Seriously, did that actually go out live on air? That's some impressive fail, that is.

O.M.G.

This. This is for real. OMG.

Did that seriously appear on air? That is so dumb that it is actually disturbing! Your explanation of it was hilarious, though.

It really did air (on July 27, 2009)

[edited cause my NumLock key was being annoying, sorry]

There's a war in Iraq and someone couldn't remember that it wasn't Egypt?? *flails a bit*

Fox News makes my head hurt.

How do you misplace countries? Seriously, the fact that every American and especially the FOXNews warhounds should know that that's Iraq, how do you even manage to find maps that are this wrong? That can't possibly be an accident, can it?

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yes, it seriously appeared on air.

They don't find them; the graphics department makes them. Just like the graphics department appends a (D) rather than an (R) to any and all Republican politicians who do something bad. It's almost funny, except for the part where I want to set them all on fire.

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

[suaine.livejournal.com]

Obviously, if all Republicans are good then someone doing bad things can't be a Republican. Or possibly it's the other way around, like how all bad guys are either Slytherin or Democrats.

No TRUE Scotsman....

Now I'm thinking about John Boehner in a kilt and that's just not okay.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Wow. I am so, so sorry.

[suaine.livejournal.com]

No, no, *I* am sorry.

For this.

But...but...but, proofreaders?!?! 10th grade geography?!? Anyone? *weeps quietly *

WHAT

This times a billion.

I have a friend from Cairo, and when I met him many years ago, he was telling people he came from "Downtown Africa," just to see how many people took that response at face value. He's on my mind because he was just able to find out his family in Egypt are okay.

[bethcarielle.livejournal.com]

...what? Wow.

[rubywisp.livejournal.com]

there is not enough headdesk in the WORLD.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it. *good vibes*

[rosa-acicularis.livejournal.com]

This fills me with malicious joy.

Wasn't this the map that they had problem with last year/year before last? Also, there is a joke in there somewhere about Fox News and De-nile River, but it's too early to make it funny.

Isaac: But, fundamentally, we're still a news-gathering organization, right?

Dana: Sure.

Isaac: Then what's the problem?

Dana: We're not very good.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

IS THIS FOR REAL?
Oh my lord.

[latxcvi.livejournal.com]

That is so dumb it's genuinely shocking.

Map-as-puzzle

[kumquatweekend.livejournal.com]

UH. Aside from the fact that we've been fighting a war with Iraq for close to a decade now.

When you can see a shape on the map with the freaking NILE and it's BRIGHT GREEN DELTA right there on the continent of AFRICA...

... very close to the RED SEA (the one that Moses parted, donchaknow)...

... and you decide instead to lable the mostly land-locked shape next to IRAN as "Egypt"...

... you clearly have not read your Bible.

You are BAD, BAD CHRISTIANS, Fox.

SPORTS NIGHT FTW!!!

[kumquatweekend.livejournal.com]

BIG GREEN NILE RIGHT THERE ON THE MAP. SERIOUSLY.
