Here’s an interesting image I saw on my friend Nancy’s Facebook wall.  I feel the imperative need to state here that I’m fairly certain that Nancy does not watch FoxNews EVER.  Unless she’s in the mood for dark humor, then maybe.

Fox News Geography

"Graphic Folks at FoxNews Don't Know Much About Geography"

I cannot believe this was on the number one cable news network in the U.S.

Cannot.  Believe.  It.

Now.  Can you fix this map?

WITHOUT using any outside sources?

Please say you can.

Please?

Know that not being able to fix this map is no reflection of your worth as a human being or how wonderful you are or blah-blah-blah, but REALLY-ARE-YOU-KIDDING-ME?!

I understand that mistakes happen and people accidentally mix up countries with which we are at war with those that we simply need in order to keep Brendan Fraser from starring in other movies besides The Mummy series, but a news network?!

I’m not sure if there’s more definitive proof that you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the news.

I’m also not sure why so many smart people in this country allow such stupid people to package the information they’re given.

And as long as we’re on the subject, I’m also not sure which was worse, The Mummy III or Inkheart .

Face palm over the unabashed display of total ignorance was courtesy of Doug Mataconis at “Outside the Beltway.”

P.S. Have you noticed the little Facebook “Like” button at the end of these posts?  Okay.  Just wondering.
