      The fact we’re going to spend money to print new fucking maps is infuriating.

          Somehow I imagine schools that are just now replacing maps that show the USSR with these products of ego. Like we as a nation are hilariously bad with geography but we don’t need to throw in curve balls to make us look dumber.

        Hasn’t happened yet, but I’m waiting to see how long it takes Google to make the change in Maps.

          Wonder what happens in google maps if viewed outside of the us? Since my country is not changing the name.

            I suspect it’ll remain the gulf of Mexico. Google displays maps in local languages based on your IP, so I assume they’d use the name your country accepts. If you log in from Japan you see the sea of Japan to the west, but if you log in from Korea it’s called the east sea

            Murderface, the villain, has a rocket that he plans to use to push the earth into the sun. But instead it only pushed earth a few feet further from the sun and he was credit with solving global warming and went on to run for president. It was basically the trial run for archer, lot of the same humor, similar characters, and most of the voice actors. Great show. It also spun off as a series called the x-ticles but only had a show or two before the company folded.

    Instead of Canada, we’re going to rename it Canamerica. Instead of Mexico, we’re going to name it Mexigoingtoamerica.

        Canada: comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village”.

        There was literally an executive order on it yesterday. Link

        TL;DR: he’s ordered Denali to be renamed back to Mount McKinley and Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

        Sadly not The Onion.
