hehe you posted the map on your site. I think it's funny!! and there is something true with this... but hey its just a map :)
 

I think it is funny as well :-)
 

laughing, and I'm American
 

Means we got some work on the table buddy
 

like I said on the nomadlife version, I think this is commenting on more than American's geographical knowledge which is the point where it becomes a bit offensive. And can someone please tell me what a mouse head is and why I should connect that with Canadians!?!?
 

I like it, there's some truth in it...
I come from a small country in Europe called Switzerland, you might have heard of it.
Usually when I tell people from the United States (except AIESECers) where I am from, they answer: oh nice, Sweden... and when I try to tell them that it isn't the same country, they usually don't see any difference, as it is "just somewhere in Europe"...

This has happened to almost all my friends (and several times) that have ever had to deal with Americans...
So it's quite fun, whenever any of us is in the states now, we're just waiting for that sentence to come up: "oh nice, Sweden"...

But can you explain the Mouse Heads? I don't get that either
 

yeah and i love the phrase in movies
"i have spent a year in africa"
of "he's gone to Africa"
as if it's all one big unit!
 

yeah, i was wondering about the "mouseheads" thing too, but it must be the non-american moron (aren't all non-americans?? ;-)) who incorrectly spelled "MOOSEheads"

...because as we know, all canadians are mooseheads
 

EXCUSE ME...


...maple syrup loving mooseheads
 

The real sad thing, is one could make a map like this JUST FOR THE US, and I think it would represent a lot of people here...

I mean, who needs to know where the state of Wisconsin is when there's LA and NYC? Thats an honest question Ive received...
 

I have had/heard about some fantastic conversations about the geography of the United States while in Chile. They include such gems as:
(when talking about why there is such a difference between Chile and Argentina)
"well in places like the United States, it is the same all over because it is flat all over"
...yeah...
 

A friend from Vancouver went for a concert to Seattle, he got into conversation with some Americans... When asked where is he from he said Vancouver, they answered they have never heard of it and asked which US state it is... ?!

There are heaps of stories like that...
 

Damn it, where's the entire SE ASIA? Needless to say, Singapore is non-existent.

It's kinda funny though. Heheheh....
 

At least they know about the Russians ;-)

I'm American and I think that map is hilarious!

Well, except for the oil and war part....

I promise that I don't think so little of all other countries though.
