Our Dumb World

If you haven't had a chance to check out The Onion's humorous new atlas titled Our Dumb World: Atlas of the Planet Earth (73rd Edition), I encourage you to do so as long as you have a thick skin. The Onion writers manage to offend every citizen from every country on the planet in this new atlas. Nonetheless, I found that I was laughing and giggling uncontrollably when I perused the atlas. The front cover alone sent my side into stitches with such "Improved Features" advertised as "Curvier Latitude Lines," "Fewer Clouds on Maps," and "Long-Standing Border Disputes Resolved." Check it out!

At Matt’s recommendation, I checked out this book at Barnes and Noble and was instantly in tears. It’s absolutely HILARIOUS. I had to get myself a copy. Yeah, it can be harsh when you get to the page about you or your ethnicity, but it seems to be quite equitable in its satire, so just sit back, read and prepare to cry laughing.
