I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.

I saw this picture on another site a few days before and I find it very offensive for a lot of people. It looks like a person with very limited knowledge about the world made it.
I can certainly see how you, and others, may find this offensive. I think that I (and others who have shared it) should have clarified that this was originally published in the Doghouse Diaries, a comic strip that has more often than once taken potentially controversial topics and ran with them. It’s not for everyone, but I find it humorous and subscribe to it. 🙂
And if you look at the list of sources, they mostly consist of Wikipedia pages — I wouldn’t be surprised if the author looked up the most interesting/weird/funny “#1 in the world” fact for the sole purpose of creating this map in hopes that it will go viral (which it has).
My country: Eat beef

E.E.U.U. : WAR.
