Guys, the Wall Street protests are huge. How huge? So huge that they’ve spread to hundreds of countries all over the world that don’t even exist!

At least that’s what it appears if we are to believe a fairly goofy gaffe from Diane Sawyer. Last night on World News, Sawyer remarked that the protests had “spread to more than 250 American cities, more than a thousand countries — every continent but Antarctica.” In case you’re curious, the United States government currently recognizes, oh, about 195 countries.

Millions of Americans tuned in as Diane Sawyer made her full-time debut behind the anchor desk Monday night for ABC World News, and shared an exclusive sit-down interview with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But that voice you heard in English calling Sawyer a “respectable lady?” That was Jewish-Iranian stand-up comedian, New York City’s Dan Ahdoot.
