You'd think they'd be using a stock map.

This must be an omen: This country is gradually sinking since 30 years...

France probably just surrendered to the sea. lol I normally don't appreciate French surrender jokes but this one was funny.

Just as I was getting my geography down...I'll have to re-learn the European map. It has to be true, right? It's the LA Times! How can they call themselves "editors"? "Los Angeles TimesVerified account @latimes News from Los Angeles and the world. Staffed by http://latimes.com editors."

Looks like that map is from 2003. Freedom fries anyone? This is the LA Times we're talking about so I highly doubt it. Nah. I mean, Ukraine, China, and *Japan and Mongolia* are all labelled on that map, but then it's just Africa. You know, because it's all one country, right?

We all know it should just be labeled Burkina Faso because it's the only one that matters.

The LA Times must have employees with very crappy knowledge of geography.

Comon. This is a US newspaper read by US readers. Do you think anyone will notice that there is something wrong with the map?

The LA Times must have employees with very crappy knowledge of geography. It's not just the LA Times. There's a phenomenon I call Calicentricism; if it's outside of California, it's really not important at all.
