Last Thanksgiving, we asked our London office to (try to) label all 50 states. The results were varied at best. A year on, we decided to see if they’d learned anything since then. Spoiler: They have not. (H/T)
01. First Up, This Guy Made The Rookie Mistake Of Putting His Name On The Top.
Robin Edds
You might live to regret that, Paul*.
(*Paul is a Foreign News Editor, FYI.)
02. This Person Started Well But Then Just Seemed To Give Up And Decide That Everywhere Is Indiana.
Robin Edds
This makes the fact that he didn’t get Indiana right all the more amusing.
03. Rather Predictably, Pretty Much Everyone Got California Right.
Robin Edds
04. There Was Only One Person, However, Who Correctly Identified The Great State Of A Dog.
Robin Edds
05. This Person Probably Wouldn’t Want You To Know That She’s American.
Robin Edds
And as you can guess from her map, she’s from the Midwest.
06. Some People Nailed It.
Robin Edds
07. Some People Did Not.
Robin Edds
08. Only One Map Correctly Identified Lake America.
Robin Edds
09. Actually, None Of Those Are In Michigan.
Robin Edds
10. Bet You Didn’t Know About The DMZ, Right?
Robin Edds
11. Or Texas’ Hat.
Robin Edds
12. And You’ve DEFINITELY Never Been To ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Robin Edds
13. Some People Opted For That Age-Old Trick — Draw A Tornado If You Don’t Know The Answer.
Robin Edds
14. Adding Question Marks To The End Of Every Answer Means You Can Be Stupid Without Looking Stupid.
Robin Edds
OK, so maybe they look a bit stupid.
15. This One Is Probably The Best Because Of Cat.
Robin Edds
16. And Then There Was Geeky Geekerson With Her Dual Nationality.
Robin Edds
Though after this, one of those nationalities may have to be reconsidered.
17. After Looking At This Map, We Spoke To Experts And Can Confirm There Is, In Fact, Nothing There.
Robin Edds
18. You Couldn’t Argue With This One.
Robin Edds
As we all know, large caps = the truth.
19. Whereas You Can Argue With This One.
Robin Edds
Way to piss off the whole of Texas!
20. And This. WE’RE SORRY, WE’RE SORRY, WE’RE SORRY.
Robin Edds
21. Uninterested In A Geography Quiz, This Person Decided To List Films And TV Shows Set In Each State.
Robin Edds
And, to be honest, it’s a thing of beauty.
22. And Finally, This Person Decided To Issue A Challenge To Our Friends Across The Pond.
Robin Edds
Your move, Uncle Sam.
