You laugh, you lose

By the way, you laugh...you lose what? Or its purpose is to appear as some sort of competition...

Ok, for those who never knew about Yanko Tsvetkov's 'Maps of prejudice':

Anybody offended? :lol:
 
US perspective is the best by far. Polish perspective is very accurate. That is pretty much how we see the old continent.
 
Raina: Didn't mean to offend. Just didn't think it was funny.

Some of the contry pictures were pretty funny though. Keep 'em, coming.

Oh, I'm not offended in any way. I just asked why the thread is named this way, instead of just 'funny pictures/videos'. :)

The last pictures aren't particularly funny, but I think they are interesting - that's why I posted them.
The rest of the maps are copyrighted though, the guy that created these maps made a whole atlas, those posted here are the ones I found online.
 
I lol'd on the French perspective on Turkey: "Definitely not Europeans"

I apply to numbers:
2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. . ., 16. . ., 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35. . .

That makes me 77% socially awkward I suppose.

Only 13, 19, 29, 31 (fuck I hate that one), and maybe 34 apply. Too many of those assume that the hypothetical socially awkward person actually has friends or talks to people frequently in real life.
