  1. MRN ♂ says:

    Just a line in the sand, apparently.

  2. Agent Gibbs CTP says:

    My god how stupid can you get

  3. Where the hell did the pyramids go?

    *screams*

  4. Malfeasant says:

    Somewhere between Iraq and a hot place…

  5. MRN ♂ says:

    I think I now have an explanation for the origin of Egyptian Walking Onions. (Yes, there is such a plant – clickie.)

  6. ted says:

    Surely all we needed for this one was a blowup of the Fox News logo in the corner?

    You’d think after reporting on the iraq war for the past 300 years they’d know where the place was already, though.

  7. Arthur Eld says:

    Ah come on! Hot, desert, turban-wearing folks, islamic… Where’s the difference?

  8. kenna says:

    Now that is how you fix the problems in Iraq. Call it Egypt.

  9. Schouky says:

    OMG!
    On Fox News!!
    It confirm what I always tought about americans…

  10. Aja says:

    *livedesk*

  11. jerryG says:

    Interestingly, not a single fox news viewer noticed the error.

  12. sisyphusredux says:

    I’d be willing to bet a substantial sum that none (NONE) of you can identify the incorrectly labeled country without looking it up.

    Americans really do suck at geography. And math, and history, and general science, and….

    Thank you again, government schools.

    BTW, for 10 Obama points, identify all countries in the Mideast without a legend.

    snicker

  13. mamkalosze says:

    fox news, baby…

  14. McBee says:

    This must be the map they used in the bible!

    -”Hey! It’s not far at all! We should be there any minute now!”…

    40 years later….

  15. Aja says:

    There’s a typo. It should read Sexy Gates.

  16. Duroc says:

    Funny fail. They always try to invent some maps over there, so…

  17. This reminds me of that youtube video: “Americans are NOT stupid” or something like that. You guys should look it up, it’s cringe-worthy!

  18. d-maztablazta says:

    Good news everyone! DemoCrazy just kicked in!

  19. M0rl0ck says:

    OMG!! I’m going to Egypt soon. I’d better contact my travel agent to see if it will cost more now that they’ve moved Egypt!

  20. Nerdilicious says:

    ummm does anybody realize what the bottom of the News scroll says………….

    *Chrysler to Gov’t* bad touch!

    *rofl*

  21. Cdtte Col Timothy John, 2Lt of FAILton! says:

    Wow, this is Geography WIN! Irgpyt (Iraq+Egypt).

  22. usofarsenal says:

    no wonder so many people keep getting kidnapped “over there”

  23. usofarsenal says:

    at least they didn’t blank(et) the Afghans

  24. lobosolo says:

    more like photoshop fail.

  25. spiceman says:

    Usual. Self-important. Ameri-cartography

  26. Jeff says:

    what else would one expect from fox news?

  27. H3nQ says:

    Something like this can only happen in the US.

  28. Curbie says:

    I hate to do this, because there is obviously a lot of hate for fox news here, but they were probably high lighting those two regions by magnifying or enlarging them on the map. I’ve seen every single news source do this, not just fox news. This was just a creative, convenient screen capture for the person who submitted this. That is all.

  29. none says:

    photoshop much?

  30. i_@m_#1 says:

    Gotta love those idiots at Fixed News

    • Matt says:

      Right. As opposed to the Mensa members at CNN, NBC, CBS right? THey are smart because they support your side but the one station that doesn’t is stupid because you don’t agree with them right? Liberals make me giggle.

  31. Matt says:

    Ohhhh!!! Fox News!!! They are stupid because they are Rebublican!!! I am such a smart person because I am liberal!

    • Chris says:

      Not saying Republicans are stupid. Some are actually able to form cogent, intelligent arguments. Right leaning magazines such as The Weekly Standard and The Economist succeed at doing this but Fox News? Their idea of news is a bunch of douchebags yelling their opinions as loud as possible and supporting any and every right-wing opinion no matter how ludicrous or bat-shit insane. I mean how do you explain Glen Beck?

    • Jane St.Clair says:

      What is a rebublican anyway? Is that a new word for someone who doesn’t know where Egypt is?

    • Gonzo says:

      I’m a registered Republican and I hate Fox News. Oh, and poor Lebanon… everyone forgets them. Even with all of the puns, no one mentioned them.

    • Autumnflare says:

      Actually they’re stupid because a map got on the air that said that Iraq was Egypt, but if you want to pretend it’s all about politics… go ahead

    • Z.Stardust says:

      The fact that you even admitted that Fox News is Republican makes them not even worthy to be a news station. Since when was the news political? Oh right, because it’s only supposed to be entertainment, not actual facts.

  32. RauCous says:

    Iraq this all up to someone being syria’sly high.. for crying out loud if fox didn’t know why dont they damascus.. ok I fail.. lol.

  33. hithar says:

    Damn you… It’s not only Carolina that has Map Problems, but everyone :(

  34. Everyone is’raeled up about this! Damascus’!

  35. VeggieTart says:

    It’s Fox Noise. What do you expect/

  36. SeaBee105 says:

    If we follow Egypts example we should move 2 countries to the right.

    Which means I am now German.
    And the Americans are British.

  37. South Cackalacky Beauty Queen says:

    There are some people in the world who don’t even have maps. Like, the people in the world, the Iraq, and that’s sad. And that’s what I think.

  38. Haredeenee says:

    Egypt is part of africa, deal with it

  39. Awesome-o 5000 says:

    Don’t you think that the unnamed borders on the left look an awful lot like the borders of Nevada, Utah, California and Arizona? Awesome.

  40. Aaryck says:

    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…and…*BLAAAARFAROFLOCALYPSE*

    • Sunshiner says:

      You stole my comment. Did you look up her “speech” and post the entire thing? It’s dead-on…(apply directly to the forehead.)
      I’m from South Carolina and I weep for our nation. What? You didn’t know SC was its own country?

  41. suspicious dude says:

    those people really know their geometry.

  42. Mike says:

    Once you take all of th’ Iraq’s out, you’re just left with lots of ‘gypsum.

  43. seemingly harmless says:

    I syriasly cant believe this israel

  44. tjmagneto says:

    Now I know why me mail to Egypt keeps getting returned. They moved!

  45. iHate fox news says:

    FOX NEWS IS SO STUPID! Made by idiots that declare that they can make up the news due to the first amendment. I’m not saying republicans are stupid. I’m saying people who watch Fox News are un-informed.

  46. Sara Pulis says:

    Via my dad: “What’s it matter? They’re all in Africa.”

  47. Silly Egyptians they always move there contry

  48. Ignoramous says:

    Man, how ignorant. Everyone knows that’s Afghanistan in there….

    :) lol

  49. Christopher Erickson says:

    This is a single frame of a video “exploded zoom-in” and taken greatly out of context. Take a careful second look and it should be obvious to most of you. Whoever is promoting this picture as an example of Fox News geographic ignorance is exploiting gullible people that make their minds up first and then pick and choose the evidence to support their beliefs. Same on them.

    • cernunnos68 says:

      Indeed; same, SAME on you!

    • republicansforvoldemort says:

      Oohhhh, it’s in /context/. So it’s more like a wishlist?

    • Estebandido says:

      Really? Why aren’t any of the other countries’ names misplaced as well, then?

    • arglebustage says:

      Not only is that an unconvincing lie, it’s not even an INTERESTING unconvincing lie.

    • Sunshiner says:

      I don’t see any reason why Egypt would be labeled as in between Syria/Jordan and Iran. I can’t imagine any ‘context’ in which Egypt would purposely be mislabeled on a map where Iraq should be. Care to explain what the ‘context’ is? Or are you missing the fact that we’re poking fun at Egypt’s incorrect placement and you thought we were making fun of the fact that Iran, Syria, Jordan, and Israel are not really that big?

  50. Blackup says:

    Republican extremists fail again.

  51. dave says:

    This part of the world is in the news so much, you’d think they’d just have a map already labeled that they could re-use.

  52. greg says:

    Fox Israeli bad at Geography

  53. Exayevie says:

    you, oh poster, of this picture, are the true failer for your most obvious use of Photoshop… on a real news graphic, they don’t label the countries they don’t have highlighted

  54. maria says:

    Well, it’s difinitelly stupid fail……every child knows where is Egypt .

    • Whateverbuddy says:

      To many of us Americans, it’s really just a big pile of look-alike sand over there. It’s that kind of uncaringness that makes us so popular lol

      Although yeah, I did know where Egypt was.

  55. Steve Cooperman says:

    Figures — not a real map; just an unreasonable FOX-simile.

  56. PhotoPierre says:

    Whare is IRAQ?

  57. Raymond says:

    Fox news..that is all you need to know..

  58. Gonzo says:

    I hate that whenever someone sees something they don’t really like on the internet, they just yell photoshopped. it’s annoying and you ruin it for the rest of us, photoshopped or not.

    • Smyrno says:

      They yell ‘photoshopped’ because photoshopped fails are not true fails…if I want funny photoshopped pictures I’ll go to some other website. In here I want to celebrate mankind’s right to totally screw something up and get made fun of relentlessly.

  59. Julia says:

    I don’t see how Fox News can Mecca mistake like this and Jiddah way with it. This guy’s boss must be in deNile.

  60. C-Man says:

    See, I told you if Obama won we’d lose Iraq.

  61. seemingly harmless says:

    It is shockingly obvious that someone took a view of the middle east and used the “emboss” feature in Photo Shop or some other editing software and placed Saudi Arabia (to make it look legitimate) and also embossed Egypt there.

  62. sidmaster says:

    lol its Fox news i kinda expected that :P

  63. me says:

    this is only a creation of the internet haet machine… with some steroids…

  64. The Moomin says:

    Tch, the map is perfectly accurate.
    Have you never heard of continental drift and tectonic plate movement?
    *shakes head in dismay at the ignorance*

  65. salaud says:

    Name all 13 states in Western Europe.. Let’s see… Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, and Indiana. I remember being in third grade and having to remember where another 37 additional states were… oh… then… I think there was France, Spain, and England, and Italy maybe? But.. after committing the geography of one large continent and 50 states to memory, it was hard to get the rest. Where is Montana? ;)

  66. KHALDIBOY says:

    The MAP is real but the places ARE SO WRONG
    IRAQ REPLACED BY EGYPT….LOL..

    AND ONLY A COUPLE Failures NOTICED THAT..XD

  67. Danillus says:

    It’s because was made by an “american”, ooo sorry “american” are the people who leaves at North of America that think that they are the only “americans” in this World…
    About who borns after Mexico… are not Americans….

  68. Crabman says:

    ok seriously, i literally didnt pay attention to school and I noticed that shit without a problem . . .

  69. Cracqui says:

    Is it over yet?
    I think Jor-all-dan!!

  70. Z.Stardust says:

    Looks like Fox News is living up to its name as an entertainment channel, rather than an actual news channel. I was highly entertained at all the witty puns earlier in these comments. When Fox actually starts posting and talking about facts, then maybe they could be taken seriously.

  71. Cracqui says:

    what a bunch of Mess-up-potamians

  72. Harblqvist says:

    I’m baffled by the drop shadows the news show added. Why would a country’s outline have a _drop_ _shadow_?

  73. Fernando says:

    No wonder that the Republicans could not find Osama bin Laden!
    OR, maybe they did not want to!

  74. ChrisInAtlanta says:

    This still doesn’t explain why the bushies went into Iraq.

    CLUSTER FOX – FAIL!

  75. Camomeal says:

    Of course. Fox news. No surprise.

  76. name says:

    this is so fake i watch cnn the bbc and fox all the time cause i have a brain and dont just listen to what one group of people have to say lol but anyway this is faked if you wana see tecnical issues watch the bbc something of theres is always messing up lol

    • earthlingmike says:

      Watching television news is a really bad way to show that you’re using your brain. You could decide for yourself what is news and what you want to be informed about. Someone who truly wants to be informed would probably consider television news to be a waste of time.

      Also you could use you brain to apply some punctuation when you’re attempting to use language.

  77. Mistercombine says:

    Photoshop’d LOL.

  78. Max says:

    only on FOX xD

  79. Rogueposter says:

    George W. Bush finds new job as cartographer?

  80. Ken says:

    Well it is on TV so by definition Americans will believe it to be true.
    I believe it could be Obama Islama giving Iraq to Egypt to pay off some sort of election debt.

  81. Mark says:

    Its fox news – what do you expect.

  82. Andre says:

    tipical american

  83. sushiman says:

    this is actually horrible

  84. Anonymous says:

    Fox news staff are a bunch of retards.

  85. Judy says:

    No *wonder* the Jews wandered for for forty years in the wilderness! Moses downloaded the map from Fox News.

  86. JoeX says:

    IsRael Dornfest aware of this screw up?

  87. JoeX says:

    This really shouldn’t be top news, not even as big of a deal as the XM/Syrias satellite radio merger.

  88. Randomman says:

    Randomman lol’s at bad egypt placement, don’t they know that is where the Randomman’s super secret Randomcave is? damn it i just gave away the location of my secret lair and my delete key doesn’t work all i can do is keep typing aaaaaggghhh!! Randomman is sad *sniff*

  89. Mutley says:

    Fox News wants to trick all the people in the red states that, if they join the Army, they wont be headed to Iraq.

  90. leadgoof says:

    It all comes from George W trying to re-write the map in the Middle-East

  91. Christopher West says:

    I Baghdad iffer! I don’t care what anybody suez! It’s allah bunch of shiite!

  92. Matt says:

    reason number 4532 why not too watch fox news.

  93. Kenny Gspot says:

    Faux news, no doubt.

  94. ryan says:

    This isn’t real, some liberal who hates fox news just erased Iraq and wrote in Egypt to make it seem like it was a mistake. I think if you know where Jordan on a map is, you’re going to know where Egypt is. Than again. . .

  95. Pat says:

    It’s fake fails that make failblog not so funny. Stick to the real stuff.

  96. ramzi says:

    to many bad puns!

  97. slackerboy! says:

    So THAT’s what they mean by “out in BumF****ed Egypt” it all makes sense now

  98. Jimbo says:

    Fox news, news for retard f*ckers.

  99. demosthenes says:

    Hey, lay off Fox. They can’t help it if they’re Occident prone.

  100. anonymous says:

    I-raqkon that Fox News wasn’t thinking Syria-sly when they Iran this episode.

  101. Luke says:

    USA: full of dummies but full of monies (wasted on our “education” system).
    What is education in the USA? Are we smarter than our own 5th grader? But that question does not speak highly of our own education.

  102. Lebon14 says:

    I’m pretty sure that where Egypt supposed to be, they replaced it with Antartica. I’m pretty sure they could FAIL that HARD.

  103. alex says:

    OMAN, Fox SYRIAsly messed this up. I bet you some old GIZA was in charge of the map and was seNILE and messed it up.

  104. linda says:

    that is absolutly ridiculous. how unprofessional.

  105. david day says:

    Totally intentional. Fox News does stuff like this all the time.

  106. Jim says:

    youd think that fox, who was for the 2003 invasion of Iraq would know something about the region. Obviously not. It looks like they are just as informed about the middle east as Bushes white house…

  107. Pabs says:

    De Gypted me outta da truth on this one

  108. Ermarian says:

    No, no, you don’t get it. This is the withdrawal plan. The US are renaming Iraq into “Egypt” so they can say they’re no longer occupying Iraq.

  109. a-smurf says:

    what would you expect from fox lol

  110. Weizman says:

    u guys are stupid
    its not FAIL

    its totally ok
    check out on google earth and ull see its just fine
    and besides
    i live in israel
    so shut up

  111. haha says:

    only fox news can do something like that!…hahahah….what idiots

  112. Daealis says:

    Somehow I wasn’t surprised that it was Fox.

  113. RON CAMPBELL says:

    THEY GET MOST THINGS WRONG..THEY ARE SO RIGHT WING..THEY HAVE LEFT THE PLANET

  114. buzz_clik says:

    This is Saudi trouble all starts…

  115. canwepleasestopandreflect says:

    Why does this not surprise me at all? Fox News is a damn shame.

  116. aaron says:

    UAIs all prolly terrists

  117. a guy says:

    This would have surprised me if it wasn’t Fox News

  118. Californawy says:

    They really Foxed that map up !!

  119. Arab says:

    lol
    they fail to locate egypt lol

  120. Sock Puppet says:

    I’m just surprised they didn’t add a (D) after Iran.

  121. every 5,000 years, egypt relocates for the winter…

  122. wolfmansbrother says:

    I have one thing to say: Fox News.

  123. ihatefoxnews says:

    It’s Fox News. Since when have they ever gotten their facts right, especially in recent times?

  124. Chris says:

    Shooped fails =/= funny.
