Whoa!

Stupid, yes. But also very revealing. I found it just amazing that, when asked to locate "enemy" countries on the map (can you point to Iran? can you point to North Korea?), people kept pointing to Austrailia!

Isn't it interesting that they pick the country that's geographically isolated and far away from the rest of the world with no context? That alone speaks volumes.

If you look closely, you can see that they had written the name of that country where "Austrailia" should be. To be fair, the people were just reading the map, but dang! North korea the island?! So pathetic.
