Unbelievable ... though 2 were *somewhat* close.

According to these people, North Korea is in Canada, Europe, the Middle East as a whole, Iran, Mongolia, Africa, Vietnam, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Australia, China and Oman.

I hope the people who pointed to Canada were joking.

You mean none of the people they choose to show on TV could locate North Korea

You do realize this is Jimmy Kimmel, right?

So ?

Do you think the answers would be different if you made a private video in L.A. ?

I remember that during 2004, 90%+ of Americans were unable to locate Iraq on a map ...

Warmongers tend to be dumb.

yes, 100%.  These are EDITED for humor.  People getting the correct answer isn't funny.  Thus they don't show those, why would they?  Some people even realize what's going and give dumb answers just to make sure they get on TV.  I totally don't understand the desire to look stupid on (inter)national TV, but some people get off on it I guess.

Now, most American's (just like most humans) have no idea where N.Korea is on a blank map, and more probably should, but since it doesn't affect most people, not knowing it isn't a sign that they are stupid.

Ahh, the ol' bit that was stolen from Jesse Waters, which was stolen from Jay Leno, which was stolen from Howard Stern, which was stolen from Steve Allen.
