Joe Biden is in Los Angeles this week, but someone ought to tell him that he shouldn’t expect to be recognized by too many of the locals.

During his ABC show Monday, late night host Jimmy Kimmel aired a rather funny video of one of his staff asking Angelenos to identify Biden. Not a single one of those interviewed (which, in fairness, was slightly less than the entire population of Los Angeles) knew Biden was the Vice President of the United States.

We’re not sure if the segment is a testament to deceptive film-making, the irrelevance of Biden, the stupidity of Angelenos or the decline of American civilization. But whatever it signals, the video is worth a laugh or two.
