Palm trees in the background. Must be one or the other. I think it was unfair to label Australia as North Korea, but, that’s just me.

If that clip was not so sad and at the same time terrifying, it would be hilarious! So many convinced that we had to attack some one next, but who? then again, the where of it seemed to be creating some difficulty as well. Personally I think from the south via the north pole.
very afraid.
This is what has elected Bushco, et al.
…and here I was beginning to feel a little optimistic again.
How completely embarassing.
I’m trying to remember who I heard speak — i think on BookTV.org last weekend — about the desperate need to teach geography again in the schools.
Geography used to be its own subject, the speaker said. Then it got swallowed up in social studies.
miserable but I suspect that I do know where Iran and Korea AREN’T.
Canada? As if…
Yo,
It looks like Venice Beach, CA. But more to the point is that it’s not CNN, but CNNN. Please don’t take this seriously. We all have too much time on our hands.
It’s true Americans don’t know Iran from a glass filled crater in the ground, but this looks more like some Brits poking fun at Americans, not real Americans being so stupid.
It’s ok to be optimistic, so long as irony lives, we’ll be ok. While we all eat gruel in Gulag Guantanamo we can all have a chuckle over the irony of the situation…
a spoof channel?
I don’t know, but it’s NOT CNN.
I’ve found this clip on at least 3 other blogs, and we all seem willing to believe that Americans are this dumb. Is it possible they are acting? can anyone find out who made this clip? it is brilliant!

Performers on the night include two of Sydney’s most popular choirs, comedian satirists from the spoof television show “CNNN News” …
Just as easily, the persons interviewed could have been Gov. Bush in 2000, or one of his staffers.

Consulate of Niger Nuclear News?
Read the ticker-tape thingie at the bottom. It makes no sense.
It’s actually CNNNN – Chaser Non-stop News Network an Australian satirical ‘news’ show aired by Australia’s public broadcaster the ABC. This explains why the Americans-in-the-street are being offered a map of the world which has Australia variously labelled “Iran” and “North Korea”! So while their geography may not be great, they were being misled, too. (Have a close look at the map!)
If you liked that one, check out the “Do you support the President’s plan to invade Kyrgistan?” segment where Texans are interviewed. It’s downloadable from the homepage linked above.
Personally I find CNNNN mostly rather juvenile, but occasionally brilliant. The ticker across the bottom is much the same.

How is the white shark terror and the barrier reef ecology, perceived as temperature of oceans are seen rising?
The Aussies are U.S. and Europe’s most trusted ally, from Churchill’s Gallipoli campagne in the Ottoman Empire, thru WWII, Korea, Vietnam and now in Iraq.
Is there an alliance formed with Koizumi’s Japan as a Far East Axis opposing the rising power of China?

Nice goin’ Pat, always thinkin ahead. Sure we’ll invade someplace soon so it’s best to get a little traction ahead of time. Shoot, the whole economy would collapse if we didn’t go to war every five years or so.
Personally, I favor headin toward someplace where the chow is a little better, u know cuz by the time the 100,000 refugees get here and start settin up their strip mall diners and such, we’ll be eating a lot of it. Not that I’m complaining, I just love lentils and rice and pan fried road kill myself, but u know sometimes it’s spiced up enough to use as solid rocket propellant and my heartburn is gettin pretty bad.
So, like the guy in the film, I’d vote for France. Good lookin bunch of people and knock out food. They make great lovers too. Course we’ve already invaded em a couple of times and it kind of takes away the mystery a little, some of the fun. And they already have WMD so we wouldn’t have to make up a pack of lies about it. And we’ve already got some pretty swell digs over there on the Champs and Rue de Franklin Roosevelt, too. Plenty of places to stay; saw a Hotel de ville just about every place I went. we’d have to stop the Morrocans from peein in the street and open more discos in Biarritz but it’s nothin we couldn’t handle.
