[–]peanut227 30 points31 points ago

Obviously not made by an american.

[–]epraider 0 points1 point ago

I agree, a true American couldn't even point out half of these countries on a map.

[–]Misspells_Definitely 0 points1 point ago

Yep, this one is much more accurate for 'mericans.

[–]gardenriver 33 points34 points ago

America thinks Canadians are Vegetarians? Damn, my moose hunting family is doing it all wrong.

[–]tamzarien 5 points6 points ago

I also do not understand that label...

[–]Deckurr 5 points6 points ago

I've never met a fellow American who thinks of Canadians as vegetarians...

Who the hell came up with this?

[–]Chippxero 9 points10 points ago

Eliminating your competition for food is doing it right.

[–]IAmHomeless 1 point2 points ago

My thoughts exactly.

[–]archpuddington 20 points21 points ago

wtf! what kind of asshole uploads such a low res image of this?

[–]Bigj45 8 points9 points ago

A loose asshole.

[–]Thydamine 5 points6 points ago

Like sleeve of wizard.

[–]steviefin 1 point2 points ago

This is so not tight butthole.

[–]bootymeatmelt 3 points4 points ago

As an American I don't think political affiliations really come to mind when the kind of people you're satirizing are thinking of Brazil more like rainforests, drugs, and murderous child gangs

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

See, that's because I kinda like the "Liberal Commies", seems lika a intelligent opinion.

[–]CajunPenguin 6 points7 points ago

where to find a bigger version?

[–]DubJohnny 10 points11 points ago

Canadians love meat more than you would ever know. Nothing better than an Albertan Steak.

Also, we're the hockey moms, not Alaska.

[–]WalrusTits 9 points10 points ago

Yea and I'm pretty sure spain isn't mexico either, this image seems so inaccurate for some reason, as if it's supposed to represent the misconceptions of some sort of society.

[–]joeromag 0 points1 point ago

I think it's because this is supposed to be an uneducated view, while in actuality most of the Americans on here are educated, but notice I said MOST. I would believe that a big chunk of the population here sees like this

[–]futur1 -3 points-2 points ago

Walrus Tits i think is the only one that gets this, but he is being sarcastic, and i feel his poignancy is going to be lost by some. I hope this posts stays in the nether regions of reddit, because right now, it is just full of face palm.

[–]Nurnberg00 2 points3 points ago

what about CANADIAN BACON?

[–]futur1 -2 points-1 points ago

I think it is more of the good-hearted nature stereotype. You'd help a stranger, and are too kind to eat a steak.

[–]AdaroTeiji 3 points4 points ago

I'm American and when I think of South Africa I think "apartheid" (I know, it's gone), and rape.

I actually kinda think 'fat and racism' when I think of Australians when I hear that 'aboriginal' talk or something. It's kind of weird.

[–]skittlenugget 1 point2 points ago

It should have Kony 2012 on the wrong country.

[–]TheSoup07 1 point2 points ago

if people assume all americans are stupid and that they think this shit is true, then theyre just as much at fault as americans that think this about the rest of the world, know what i mean?

[–]DnWeava 1 point2 points ago

I can't read half the countires,but my list of corrections to be more accurate of the american view:

Canada: they like hockey

Mexico: tacos and cartels(and all inclusive resorts)

Brazil: anacondas and piranhas

rest of south america: cocaine cartels

India: call centers

Somalia: black hawk down

caribbean Islands: future MLB players

Germany: quality engineering(cars)

Middle east: oil and terrorists

China: factories for walmart goods

Southeast Asia: Nike Factories

Japan: maker of efficient cars and electronics

rest of Europe: in debt, they think they are better than us because of their social healthcare and passenger trains

[–]Weeksy24 1 point2 points ago

What does Britain say? I can't read it at all.

[–]SphereofWreckening 0 points1 point ago

I think it says mummy.

[–]Weeksy24 1 point2 points ago

What is that meant to mean?

[–]SphereofWreckening 0 points1 point ago

I think it's suppose to refer to how some british people type "mum" instead of mom.

[–]futur1 3 points4 points ago

i'm thinking this thread is full of retards, but i'm sure people just have different associations with the words listed.

You are right, the spelling is a major part of it, but:

Mummy, as in parent, as in we were a British colony.

[–]Profitable_Beaver 2 points3 points ago

No, not some British people, that is just the accepted spelling in britain.

[–]Thydamine 4 points5 points ago

"It's different, hence wrong."

[–]SphereofWreckening 0 points1 point ago

I apologize, I did not mean to insinuate it was wrong, I made the assumption That he/she was American, and was unfamiliar with the meaning of mum, so I used what I believed he/she Would be able to correlate the meaning with.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]JuggaloLife 2 points3 points ago

But Americans say it 'mom' so they write it 'mom'.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]JuggaloLife 1 point2 points ago

Surely you knew that? American TV? This song?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]JuggaloLife 1 point2 points ago

Maybe you just hate the country. HEY EVERYBODY, THIS GUY HATES 'MURICA!

[–]save_le_trolls 0 points1 point ago

What's for Briton? Probably top hat or somthing 2 centeries out

[–]FkYeahVoltron 0 points1 point ago

IT ISNT BIG ENOUGH! IM MISSING FUNNIES

[–]jakeis38 0 points1 point ago

Theres no hockey moms in alaska

[–]joekerr_tv[S] 0 points1 point ago

yea that kinda pissed me off

[–]Chicago63 0 points1 point ago

A is for America!

B is for Better than the Commies!

C is for Commies!

D is for Dirty Commies!

F is for F***ing commies!

[–]Gamecube64 0 points1 point ago

The fuck is E for?

[–]instarage 0 points1 point ago

Eat it commies!

[–]closewindow 0 points1 point ago

So impressed that Taiwan is part of PRC. Well done.

[–]ShinyPichu 0 points1 point ago

But but but I'm Canadian-American

[–]KingTroll69 0 points1 point ago

Once again Reddit stabs my American Pride. :/

[–]iamdjozone 0 points1 point ago

Im in resident evil. xD Well it aint far from the truth ;)

[–]Cratopia81 0 points1 point ago

I should be offended, but I'm not. I know that none of this is true.

[–]Wingus_ 0 points1 point ago

you know, not all Americans, are the dumb, racist, fat, and narcissistic people everyone makes them out to be. i hate these things.

[–]Ragnalypse 0 points1 point ago

The world is low resolution to us?

[–]beeisme 0 points1 point ago

There is a smart racist for you

[–]frazier6567 0 points1 point ago

i've never heard ANYONE I know say anything like that about other countries... and I'm American:/

[–]Asian_Looking_Latina 0 points1 point ago

Don't quite understand why Peru is the U.S.A's bitches.

[–]HETKA 0 points1 point ago

As an American, I don't find things like this offensive mainly because from a satirical standpoint, its true. What DOES offend me, is that a good portion of Americans live up to the worlds view of us being stupid, and are perfectly ignorant/okay with that.

[–]dnshnd 0 points1 point ago

I have a bigger problem with the thought that most of my generation probably wouldn't get the "Vietnam 2.0" and "Cambodia 2.0" jokes on that map.

[–]DoctorDrMD 0 points1 point ago

What does it say for Korea I cant read it.

[–]SouthFresh 1 point2 points ago

Insensitive joke about squinting.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

"Sodom"

[–]evox777 0 points1 point ago

I demand a high resolution pic.

[–]Propellant 0 points1 point ago

Original stuffs

EDIT: Seems THIS is the original one.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Just so the comment count could be 69!

[–]ShigglyB00 -1 points0 points ago

Why is Scotland being generalised as Britain!? >:( Curses!

[–]happlepaff 2 points3 points ago

because you ARE in Britain...?

if it said England, then I'd understand your pissed-offishness.

[–]ShigglyB00 -1 points0 points ago

We simply like to be recognised as individuals is all

[–]happlepaff 1 point2 points ago

i suppose the counterargument is that the entirety of america is displayed as one country, rather than seperating by state.

[–]DisgruntledBrit 1 point2 points ago

I don't know, maybe because it's part of Britain?

[–]Darneil 0 points1 point ago

I think that's the joke. Most Americans see Britain as "England". As a Welsh person, it pisses me off as much as it pisses you off. >:(

[–]ShigglyB00 0 points1 point ago

Yeah! The rest of Britain demands to be made fun of for wearing man-skirts and/or having sex with sheep!

[–]Darneil 0 points1 point ago

YEAH. And being good at a proper sport. Fuck Euro 2012. >:(

[–]WaywardSpaniard -2 points-1 points ago

Hey, don't complain, they're calling us Mexicans (no offense to actual Mexicans).

[–]ShigglyB00 -1 points0 points ago

Their ignorance hurts :(

Hugs

[–]poopbackwards -3 points-2 points ago

Why is 'Jack Sparrow' nowhere near the Caribbean? I mean, Americans do fuck up geography, but surely we don't place Captain Jack in the Red Sea/Indian Ocean...

[–]futur1 1 point2 points ago

not sure if troll.. But currently, most acts of piracy occur of the coast of Somalia.

[–]Apsis -1 points0 points ago

I guess this explains it - but do people really associate Johnny Depp comical piracy with AK-47 wielding Somali piracy?

[–]futur1 -1 points0 points ago

I get your point, but I like to pretend i fully understand the creator's intent.

[–]poopbackwards 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for the explanation. Clearly I do not associate the two, as in my brain they are very different kinds of piracy. One has eyeliner. The other has big fat guns.

[–]beirch -1 points0 points ago

I don't know man, I've seen Americans place South Korea in Australia, then commenting on how they didn't think South Korea was that low south.

[–]poopbackwards 0 points1 point ago

Wow. I'm glad I can place South Korea. Just off the East coast of Germany, next to Brazil.

[–]ajm2298 -1 points0 points ago

Not all Americans see the world like this. I would know, as an American, that this is mainly how those in the fly-overs and the south see other countries.

[–]gaylover69 -2 points-1 points ago

Dirty porn? Really?

[–]Lover_Of_Llamas -2 points-1 points ago

I really don't think any of things. I know fucking everything about a lot of Europe.

[–]thingg -1 points0 points ago

I lol'd at Iraq.

[–]r0b0tr0n -1 points0 points ago

What does it say about Israel?

[–]CatchThisDrift -1 points0 points ago

Source. You can buy a print.

[–]kerpe -1 points0 points ago

Hmm, buffer zone.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Liberal Commies?! kinda like it.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It's "Sodom". Another Guy posted a link with better resolution. :)

[–]IlliterateJedi -3 points-2 points ago

I don't think most Americans the majority of those countries much thought. Most people probably don't even know geography well enough to understand the 'joke' comments about the countries.

[–]cronos844 -1 points0 points ago

can anyone give me a picture that I can zoom into more
