The World According To...
We've all seen the 'The World According To America' picture, but we have our fair share of ignorant people over here and they deserve to have their geographical views heard.

So here is 'The World According To Britain' (made by me).


And post one of your own country/region/state...

Eli - I beg to differ on your map and your facts. I'm not aware we are selling any american technology to commies. We might sell them our own technology, but that's it.


And it's not true there are no jews in Australia.

Corrections for Eli's map.

South East Asia: "great place for 9 month trips"
Russia: "This is where most Jews come from"
Australia: "This is the other largest gathering of Russian Jews"
Japan: "They claim to make better technology than us. Ha!"
EU: "Mossad training ground"
Africa: "Lots of people with funny colors for flags whom we sell cheap weapons to"
France: Nazis
Germany: Used to be Nazis
England: Where BBC is!!! %^$^%^#%^&%#@!!
South America: This is Brazil, homeland of Football.
Canada: This is where Israelis go to when they leave.

Since foreign media teaches us that Finland consists of Helsinki (as evidenced by the mall-bomber case, when all the foreign media referred to "Helsinki bombing", when it occurred in city of Vantaa), this map is specifically Helsinki-centric.

Gangerolf's map is woefully incomplete in terms of little red dots.

Stefu, you forgot the evil Southerners (Italy, Spain), who are corrupt thieves, steal our common EU-money and come and take all our women.

EDIT: The first Gangerolf's map hasn't got enough red dots.
The other hasn't got enough black dots.

I am offended by Zylka's implication that mimes are not people. "First they took away the mimes, but I said nothing. Then they took away the people who always take too many items into the express lane at the supermarket, but still I said nothing. Then they took away the groups of people who walk eight abreast down the sidewalk so that you have to either walk in the street to avoid them or else barrel through them, yet I said nothing." Will you people never learn the lessons of history?
