according to US americans perhaps.
Nah, according to the US media, that would be:
Northern Africa = terrorists
Sub-Saharan Africa = AIDS
Don’t forget a spot for “African Royalty Refugees In Need of US Dollars In Order To Collect on Hoards Of Diamonds”
you forgot areas where there are kids being abdu..adopted by hollywood stars.
yes. No other country has ever done anything wrong regarding Africa. ESPECIALLY genocide and imperialism.
As opposed to U.S. Ugandans?
“U.S. Americans” is a term that non-American people who are attempting to be politically correct, call citizens of the United States of America. It’s the equivalent of calling citizens of the European Union Europans or EU Europeans. In other words – idiotic.
*bows out*
Actually, “US Americans” is a term popularized by a particularly stupid South Carolina beauty pageant contestant who became a youtube celebrity last fall for her horrendously mangled answer to a question about why most americans couldn’t find america on a map of the world.
WIN!
5% of americans is not “most americans” FAIL
As opposed Latin Americans, though I think most Latin Americans refer to folks from the US as americanos (estadounidenses is cumbersome) but seldom refer to the USA as america. Based on my observations, anyhow. How is that like the EU?
He’s right actually. After the U.S. started being called ‘America’, nobody else on the continent wants to count themselves as Americans.
LOL! What makes it even funnier for me is that I love tigers and it amazes me how many people think they are indigenous of Africa when really they found in their natural habitat in Asia (India and Siberia). But I have to admit that my knowledge comes from a love of tigers and not from knowing much about Africa, I am afraid.
Where can you see lions? Only in Kenya!
come to kenya we’ve got badger badger badger….
wait, what?
Forget Norway!
more like Snoreway!
Kenya, we’re going to Kenya
Where the giraffes are
And the zebra!
Kenya believe it!
Free snorkel with every visit!
mushroom, mushroom
damn. someone beat me to it
Does any one know where to go to find the Kenya cartoon/song? I used to have a link through adorablebunnies but its not there any more…

they probably escaped from the local zoo!
Um, shouldn’t this be on Failblog?
There are no tigers in Africa.
Exactly.
“A [lion]? In Africa?”
“Maybe it escaped from a zoo…”
Monty Python’s the Meaning of Life, paraphrased
Win. I’ve been sitting here saying “Tigers? Tigers? Wha?”
Did you not read the title of the graph?
I think tiger should be tigers/jungle, since until I really looked at a map thats what I thought.
But the jungle contains fun, games, everything you want, etc.
Someone needs to do the kenya graph, with the lions and tigers and giraffes, and zebras and norway…
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more than one based on “Kenya” already.
Many times – Kenya believe it?
*rimshot* duh-da-da duh….
Perhaps this should be on failblog due to the completely inaccurate placement of the Sudan.
That was the point there, winner. This graph is displaying how inaccurately the rest of the world views this particular continent.
That may actually be the point. I can only pinpoint Sudan with other countries around it. Otherwise, I have no frame of reference.
Yes, I’m a US American. No, I’m not ignorant.
I’m glad someone else noticed that. If that were the point, Pyramids and Nelson Mandela should be misplaced too…
Not necessarily. It’s supposed to be general assumptions all around. Even most ignorant Americans know where the pyramids are–but that’s all they know about Egypt. Same with the other points.
I like it. Good job, random graph-maker!
Us ‘mericans think that all of Egypt is covered by sand dunes, and there are pyramids everywhere in the country. We think that the only job in Egypt that requires a university degree is archaeologist. etc…
Likewise, South Africa is also homogeneous. Apartheid just ended,
so ‘mericans will ask teenagers what it was like for them.
Way back in June of 2008, the US Government removed Nelson Mandela
from the terrorist watch list. Now that he is in his nineties, he must not be
much of risk. But no telling what a Nobel Peace Prize winner might have done
in his late eighties.
Well, I know he died in his mid-70s, but one or two people weren’t particularly keen on Mr Yasser Arafat.
So…basically you’re saying that the entire rest of the map is fine?
yeah, that is totally not where the sudan actually is. also inaccurate b/c most americans don’t have any clue that the sudan is in africa, let alone what occurs there. attempt at snarky picto-graph fail.
I can only place Tunisia because that’s where they filmed parts of Star Wars. And I feel terribly horribly pathetic for it.
my mom says theres a lot of black people in africa.
Too bad they killed off and enslaved the other indigenous Khosian and Pygmy races of Africa.
World geography is not something most Americans care about in the slightest. Most could not find Egypt, the Sudan, or any other country in Africa on a map. If you asked 10 Americans where Nelson Mandela might be found, I bet only 1 would get it right.
Boo Freaking Hoo. If you asked 10 Germans to locate Missouri on a map, I bet zero could do it. Grow up and stop America somehow has all of the stupid people in the world massed together.
Maybe, but I bet 10 out of 10 Germans could locate the U.S. on a map. The point isn’t whether or not people could locate Cairo, Nairobi or Johannesburg, but Egypt, Kenya or South Africa.
Also, you seem to have lost a verb.
That’s not the issue here. 10 of 10 Amercians can point to Europe on a map. Missouri is not a city. Think of it this way, if Europe was a country, it would be the equivilant of the US. Germany would then be the equivilant of Missouri. Same way with Africa: Africa=US, Kenya=Missouri, Nairobi=St. Louis. I know, it is over simplification, but it works better than your scenario.
I suspect that many Europeans would struggle to identify, say, Moldova, Armenia or Latvia on a map.
i wouldnt!
heh. though technically i am now an american.
i can find armenia.
and latvia.
and sweden.
and belarussia/belarus.
and i was born in moldova.
and im out of useless things to tell you.
oh..wait i lied; i took a geography class and i highly recommend they go back to teaching that in school.
its useful.
The US is not a continent. Our states are not countries; they have no international significance. The only way in which your analogy works is by comparing the physical footprints. Our states are not comparable to countries in either historical significance or political power, which are the primary reasons a non-local might be interested in knowing their location.
Honestly, I can only pinpoint Missouri because it’s the belly of the fat man.
technically most countries in africa carry no international significance. that’s the whole point of this map. and my lol’s.
Ah, but then, the original colonies were separate “countries”. It was not until July 2, 1776 that we became a single nation – but even then it was a confederation of separate states. So, in reality, it wasn’t until the Consitution was ratified that we became a single nation comprised of states.
And don’t tell me they had no international signifigance – Europe’s involvement in the Civil War was contingent on which side each country thought would win.
But even still, I said it was an over-simplification, but the analogy still works better than the original posting.
Europe is not a country. The US is not a continent.
Your comment is not over-simplification but gross misrepresentation and the worst kind of Americentrism.
this graph also has a disturbing lack of Toto.
i bless the RAIIIIIIINS
this map was funny, except that there are no tigers in africa! tigers are asian! silly map maker!
omg fail so hard.
Tigers are native to Asia.
Wait, where’s Deepest, Darkest Africa? Or are you going to tell me that the map at the beginning of George of the Jungle lied to me?
once in school I had a kid tell me Egypt was in south eastern europe and Ethiopia was north of India….
being from Africa…this made me sad a little.
I was stuck at Heathrow once, and a fellow behind me was complaining that everywhere he went in Europe, people wanted to ask about lions. He was from Nairobi, and had never seen a lion in his life.
People it’s Sudan, NOT “the” Sudan
“The” Ohio State University
Limeys call it ‘The Sudan’, like they call us ‘The United States’. I don’t know why–I think it has something to do with colonialism.
Don’t know about that. All my friends in Europe refer to the U.S. as the “States.”
Limeys will be the first to tell you that they are not Europeans.
The graph maker forgot to include Bob Geldof.
The reason tigers are on the map is because it’s a throwback reference to old explorers’ maps that said “Here there be tygers”.
I’m pretty sure the map maker knows there aren’t tigers in Africa.
HAHAHA Blacks are worthless.
Nigerian Cyber-scammers?
They totally misplaced the Sudan, lol.
I thought Lions and Tigers were only in Kenya
That’s not where (the) Sudan is.
Unintentional humor points awarded.
I thought tigers lived in France.
Sudan is much higher than that, and Uganda is equally important.
My guess is this was made by an American. If this was failblg you’d
be runner up for burn of the week.
The map is of people’s MISUNDERSTANDING of Africa. The point is that these are the only things people know about Africa, and they’re wrong on half of them.
Half my lols come from the people commenting on this who JUST. DON’T. GET. IT.
Thanks guys. XD
Agreed!
I personally believe that Miss Caitlin Upton, Miss Teen South Carolina 2007, put it VERY clearly and succinctly when she was posed the following question:
“Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?”
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don’t HAVE maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, THE Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help THE Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children
nuff said.
Tigers? There are no tigers in Africa. They all come from Asia.
Just once, I want someone with a “Save Darfur” t-shirt to answer to tell me a) where it is on the map and b) how you stop people from being killed without an army.
What’s Nelson Mandila?
sudan is in the wrong place. i’m not sure if its a part of the joke but it bothers me.
Replace “tigers” with “starving stick people” and the graph’s about right!
yay in going to nelson mandela in december! trev i belive it is a joke i more reacted of it being square.
