The Map of Stereotypes

Martin Vargic is a 17-year-old Slovakian artist who specializes in maps. He created a world map of stereotypes, relying on online forums, TV Tropes (warning: internet black hole), movies, books, and internet search. There are over 5,000 stereotype labels on the globe!

Note “Hipsteria” in Oregon and “Shit hit the fan” for Detroit. Washington, DC is “Baphomet’s Lair.” I was a little disappointed that my part of Kentucky, with all the stereotypes that come with it, is only labeled “white water rafting.”  The map is part of his new book Vargic's Miscellany of Curious Maps: Mapping Out the Modern World.

"Shit hit the fan" is actually associated with Detroit, according to the map.

While I encourage the effort, I think - perhaps - he needs a (several) proofreader(s) from the US - and other countries - to tweak it just right.

In the meantime, I would highly recommend Dorlinh, Newman and Sarford's exceptionally interesting "Maps of the World" instead.

But, great effort - and so true about DC!

It's a food trough for goats that are on a diet. When they get too fat, their stomachs get poked by the sharp spikes and discourage over-eating.

Hi !
It's an ancient scoop designed to pick up lost buttons in the woods.
Bad design anyway, it often picks up lots of berries and no button at all.
So, you need to throw the berries away every minute, but still no button !

It's a shovel for encouraging five-year-olds to help with gardening. "Ye're an excavator, Harry. Now dig me a hole."

Actual Use Guess: Might be for harvesting huckleberries, or some such.

This is a scale model of the non-mechanized backhoe model of the 1930s, designed to give more people jobs as they did manual labor during the Great Depression.

This is the manual roto-tiller for hipsters who think using a gas-guzzling machine to make their organic gardens is too mainstream.

This is a pooper-scooper designed to spear & scoop up the turds, but let more sand & earth fall back to the ground.

It is the "Wilson Scoot Around": the deceptively simple portable rig they used to bring the animatronic head of the next door "neighbor" from the classic ABC sitcom "Home Improvement" around to boat shows and monster truck rallies for promotional purposes.

Ostrich neck basket! Their head fits through the slot on the top and it slides down their neck and rests on their chest. They can guard your valuables and no one goes near it because of the spikes, and o yea it's hanging from the neck of a big angry bird.

A fine folk art example of an Italian spaghetti harvester. Just run the serrated scoop through the spaghetti trees to remove the ripe pasta.
