Hey, I'm in with the freaks. I would protest, but then I saw the idea of a entire land populated by Bjorks, and found myself intrigued. :eyebrows:

Trust me, the intrigue will wear off once you realize the only human voices you hear sound like a constipated blue whale.

I'd take it as a compliment. Assholes are generally what assertive, successful people are called by lazy, inbred, corrupt and broken people. Heh.[/QUOTE]

Harumph. I accept the premise, but I still say I dislike the moniker.

I think this map should have marked the Southwest as illegal immigrants, if we're going to go by stereotypes. ;)

Besides, the meth thing applies to Arizona just as illegal immigrants do.

I cracked up when I saw that Somalia was a "libertarian's wet dream."

I don't know if it's the Southwest or the whole country, but I swear to god if I hear one more ad about how bad meth is, I'm going to lose it. That and shaking babies.

Must be a southwest thing. Around here I never see ads about meth or shaking babies. But then again I live in the "Stoners" heartland, so that might be the reason.

I'm actually intrigued by the inbred thing over the UK and Republic of Ireland. Seems more of a deep-south USA or areas of Asia thing. I thought the stereotypical UK/ROI thing was bad teeth and food.

Based on first-hand experience, Irish food was good although pretty damn heavy. Meat, gravy, potatoes, some steamed veggies, repeat.

Madagascar = Closed Ports, That's freaking hilarious. What was the name of that game? Pandemic?

I couldn't get the image at work so I started googling "Map of Stereotypes" and there are a lot of these, all very funny.

The inbred thing has to do with your royals and upper classes. And it's a couple of islands that did not get much fresh DNA from the Norman Invasion till the end of the Empire.

Freaks & Geeks as the TV Michigan? If we're going obscure,t here were several RoboCop TV shows. If we want to be realistic, I point out that Home Improvement took place in Detroit and involved going up north at least once. So there. :p

On the other hand, Freaks and Geeks mentioned Faygo, the quintessential Michigan pop brand.

Hmmm. Funny how the brain works. When I looked at Florida I was expecting to see Dexter. Then I saw Golden Girls instead. Then I started thinking about a cross-over between Dexter and Golden Girls.

Man, I think I just re-defined the word 'epic'.

I would have thought that Illinois would be Married, With Children. I even remember Chicago asking them to use another city.

Sorry, I guess the poster was not interested in ancient history.[/QUOTE]

OK, I DID laugh at this post, but I'd like to point out that the Andy Griffith Show predates MTM by 10 years (which is on the map)[/QUOTE]

But nothing has happened in NC since Andy left Mayberry.[/QUOTE]

No way, without Andy, NC has become a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Well, they do have some nice beaches though.
