And just like that, Fox News wiped Arkansas off the map

kaffrinphilly · 2012-09-14T23:24:55+00:00

I live in Alabama and my local radio station came on and interrupted a song saying "Breaking News! Fox has released that our county is now in Mississippi. More on this later."

wang2chung · 2012-09-15T01:35:55+00:00

Now if we could get everyone in Arkansas to forget about Fox news.

jsm445 · 2012-09-14T20:48:03+00:00

look at alabama and mississippi

Amazingman45 · 2012-09-15T00:16:35+00:00

Wow looks like Arkansas not only lost their eight number spot in NCAA rankings but also their state Edit: I live in Arkansas and cheer for Arkansas but still.

severedfinger · 2012-09-15T03:17:47+00:00

TIL I grew up in Little Rock, Missouri.

bb_cowgirl · 2012-09-15T00:27:31+00:00

Well fuckkkkkk... If my state no longer exists, then where the hell am I?

ophello · 2012-09-15T01:27:54+00:00

For those of you who are confused, Arkansas has been replaced with MO for Missouri, and Mississippi and Alabama have been swapped.

spaceburger · 2012-09-15T03:37:05+00:00

I always knew Arkansas was a myth.

Doctor_Qui · 2012-09-15T00:41:04+00:00

Was there at least a going away party? Did I miss out on free cake?

pickled_ginger · 2012-09-14T21:53:53+00:00

Yeah it's not just Mississippi and Alabama. Check out where Arkansas is supposed to be...

Meeeehhh · 2012-09-15T00:45:27+00:00

I don't know where to look for Arkansas...

redking315 · 2012-09-15T01:23:20+00:00

apparently i'm from Mississippi now. Does this also mean that I live in New Orleans by the Alabama River?? SO MANY QUESTIONS!

harDhar · 2012-09-15T03:08:22+00:00

They shouldn't have Bung it.

EDIT: Binged? Bang? Bung? I like Bung.

IsThisShit · 2012-09-15T03:50:18+00:00

as a missourian, im proud that my state has finally eaten Arkansas.

tynap · 2012-09-15T04:25:16+00:00

As someone who lives in Arkansas, I can confirm that we are still on the map.

frisellan · 2012-09-14T22:40:39+00:00

Don't Arkansas my Missouri

TheCool170 · 2012-09-15T00:55:12+00:00

Not like many of you knew where my state was in the first place

HymenAnnihilator · 2012-09-14T20:42:09+00:00

Fox News isn't exactly batting 1,000 when it comes to: accurately reporting stories, hiring competent non-fundie employees, geography, history, science,.... plus some other stuff.

poliscinerd · 2012-09-15T01:59:45+00:00

Alabama, Mississippi... same thing, right?

shotglass49 · 2012-09-15T02:25:54+00:00

singing happy days are here again, heard Obama and Romney were both there.

yousicklittlemonkey · 2012-09-15T02:35:30+00:00

Mississippi and Alabama also switched spots apparently.

DavidARay · 2012-09-15T02:43:00+00:00

What's an Arkansas?

LilGatorGhost · 2012-09-15T02:51:20+00:00

Mississippi and 'Bama are also switch up.... They are bright down there at Fox new....

Owlettt · 2012-09-15T02:55:09+00:00

I really think that they do this kind of shit on purpose to keep old white people addled and confused. It is much easier to herd them around that way.

Sarahmint · 2012-09-15T03:04:56+00:00

Someone who works at Fox News LOVES messing with the maps.

troway2223 · 2012-09-15T03:05:08+00:00

How do you screw this up? Like how is that possible? You have to try for that.

chris_cr33p · 2012-09-15T03:22:30+00:00

yeah they swapped AL and MS or u did a horrible job with photoshop

Itsmeagainmom · 2012-09-15T03:24:07+00:00

Maybe Arkansas evacuated.

melissarose8585 · 2012-09-15T03:29:41+00:00

They really need more fact checkers. Some of the shit they've let slide was ridiculous, but this is down right horrible. Do they have untrained monkeys working in their offices?

WinnieThePig · 2012-09-15T03:42:04+00:00

Man, I feel so dumb. I was looking for something wrong in Texas or in the writing. Never looked at the other states.......

Dannyg4821 · 2012-09-15T04:01:09+00:00

Breaking News: Missouri taking over Arkansas territory

ResidentWeeaboo · 2012-09-15T04:01:43+00:00

This is why I use Bing!

Kay-the-countrygirl · 2012-09-15T04:02:38+00:00

Aaaaaaaand...it's gone.

captainfluffybunny · 2012-09-15T04:04:56+00:00

Probably for the best.

Irishuponastar · 2012-09-15T04:16:22+00:00

Got Dang Arkansas hippie liberals!

Blackflames94 · 2012-09-15T04:17:48+00:00

I was there as this was happening

phatboye · 2012-09-15T04:19:01+00:00

New slogan "Fox News, where misinformation lives!"

cafecabrones · 2012-09-15T04:25:48+00:00

Here in North Dakota, North Dakota State University, we had the same problem and we have lots of oil yet, we're not on the news :(

Karalaine · 2012-09-15T04:30:57+00:00

Totally makes sense why there are at least 20+ Walmart's in a 40 mile radius of Springfield, Mo.

Frat_Panda · 2012-09-15T04:34:15+00:00

I posted this in r/funny and got no karma. Why do I even try. Oh wait I'm from Arkansas duh. I don't exist.

candyman420 · 2012-09-15T04:46:05+00:00

I mean what the fuck.. how, why? Are they purposely redrawing borders for some reason, is it so difficult to find a stock image of a US map with the right borders?

overthereman · 2012-09-15T04:57:28+00:00

MO needs more room for Jesus.

DonOntario · 2012-09-15T04:58:17+00:00

I'm OK with this.

gobbsnotonboard · 2012-09-15T05:06:30+00:00

This is obviously all Obamas fault

Justice__Beaver · 2012-09-15T05:09:48+00:00

Aren't Alabama and Mississippi a little backwards as well?

145gtw · 2012-09-15T05:13:24+00:00

Arkansas?......You mean other Oklahoma?

jackster999 · 2012-09-15T05:19:44+00:00

I'm a Canadian and what is this?

ghuillie98 · 2012-09-15T05:29:31+00:00

I hate it when people mix us with Mississippi folk.

DeuceSevin · 2012-09-15T05:32:40+00:00

TIL Bill Clinton lied.

THE_SLAPCHOP · 2012-09-15T05:34:30+00:00

To be honest, I couldn't locate Arkansas on a map.

heavyweather77 · 2012-09-15T05:36:20+00:00

All those mistakes... and they got New Mexico right. 505 in the house.

weaver2109 · 2012-09-15T05:47:33+00:00

Nah, that's clearly Missouri. You've been looking at the wrong maps.

unicellular · 2012-09-15T06:02:03+00:00

As a Californian, I had no idea what was wrong with this picture until I read through the comments.

Hyperian · 2012-09-15T06:06:08+00:00

where the hell does fox get these maps. www.slightlywrongmaps.com ?

quickdrau · 2012-09-15T06:18:47+00:00

Well it worked Bing, I went to your site and looked at your maps... traffic alerts/construction integrated in is a nice touch...

Memento1979 · 2012-09-15T06:32:03+00:00

Someone post a picture for what it's supposed to look like for this Australian?

quaxon · 2012-09-15T06:35:07+00:00

eh, as someone from California Arkansas might as well be Pakistan, no one here can point it out on a map.

DEADBEEFSTA · 2012-09-15T06:49:47+00:00

It's Faux News, none of their viewers will notice the difference, not even the residents of AR.

Espresso77 · 2012-09-15T07:03:13+00:00

Serious question: Is this for some political reason that I'm missing or are they just that stupid?

ne99ne · 2012-09-15T07:17:02+00:00

Am I the only one who has to google a US map and compare?

fashioninthe90s · 2012-09-15T08:01:59+00:00

Seems totally legit.

neurone214 · 2012-09-15T08:02:41+00:00

I'm from NYC, and I honestly forgot a few of these were states.

Everything's bigger in Texas... even Texas

southernasshole · 2012-09-15T08:42:35+00:00

Actually it looks like they just changed our name.

We are Missouri now.

Jeezlebauckle · 2012-09-15T08:44:12+00:00

As an arkansan, I hear people constantly saying "I can't even find arkansas on a map, and it drives me insane. Apparently, those are the people who watch Faux News.

DibsArchaeo · 2012-09-14T22:49:54+00:00

Land masses. Land masses, everywhere.

5k1895 · 2012-09-15T02:27:07+00:00

Do you really expect any more from FOX news, though?

7FoldSamurai · 2012-09-15T03:32:12+00:00

An0nymauz · 2012-09-15T01:40:52+00:00

Is it bad that I wouldn't know where Arkansas should be? Despite living in america all my life.

SG_Dave · 2012-09-14T23:31:38+00:00

Looks more like Arkansas belongs to Missouri. Also I don't see what's wrong with Mississippi and Alabama, but I am a drunk UKer so may be just uneducated in the layout of US states.

Rysdad · 2012-09-15T03:29:15+00:00

'Bout time.

XSavageWalrusX · 2012-09-15T07:12:23+00:00

killbot9000 · 2012-09-15T07:19:58+00:00

They also switched the positions of Alabama and Mississippi.

Fox News is good at smartness.
