I was surprised there aren't a lot more F bombs being dropped.

Also, here is a nice nugget of wisdom from Nigeria: "Fuck, don't give a fuck, don't get fucked over. 3 rules of life."

I think it only shows the tweets with locations turned on.

That is correct, it uses both the coordinates and places fields (see more about those here https://dev.twitter.com/docs/platform-objects/tweets ). There were actually substantially less before adding the code to handle "place". Most tweets that are tagged with a place and not specific coordinates use a bounding box which I've handled by just dropping the pin in the middle of the box.

That's a gem. It filters on tweets having some sort of geographic information on them. Without that filter there are multitudes more.
