The World Map of Useless Stereotypes

When does a takeoff become a ripoff?

The New York aspect is so prominent, that one can only imagine it was ripped from somewhere else, and had "world" tacked on after.

To those that point out that NY is huge on the map...this is a takeoff of a map that was itself a takeoff...done in the New Yorker magazine decades ago that was meant to show that same newyorkcentrism...basically everything west of New Jersey is wastelands...having been a New Yorker during that period of time, I can tell you it's not too far off the mark for a lot of people that live there...

*didn't - stupid tiny phone keypad.

I dodn't realise the stereotype for Australia and much of the Southern hemisphere is "does not exist".

I think it's telling that Manhattan is as big as Africa, and the NYC metro area as big as the continental US.

This isn't a map of stereotypes; this is a map of how a NYC-centric person lazily imagines people around the world feels about each other. Except for Africa, which has no feelings about the outside world, apparently.
