Oops. Sorry about that Mississippi.
The Seattle Times has apologized for a mistake in a map that skipped over the state of Mississippi and moved Alabama adjacent to Louisiana.
The map was tweeted out over the weekend and quickly made the rounds on social media. The map, which depicted the path of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, showed Louisiana and Arkansas with a state labeled "Alabama" directly to the east.
The omission of the Magnolia State had people crying foul.

Patience Mississippi, your day is coming when the entire Left coast slides into the ocean! Atlantis? Seattle? Pompeii?

ReplyDeleteEvidently.
DeleteMaybe we'll get lucky and none of them will ever come to Mississippi? Or any of those states rahght chair.
ReplyDeleteThat'll work!
DeleteObama thought we had 57 states. The Seattle Times thinks we have 49. No big deal.
ReplyDeleteI thought that when they transferred people from Guam to Hawaii, Hawaii sank..........:)
DeleteThe US is too dang huge. I couldn't name all 50 states even today. I could pinpoint all foreign polities outside Africa, with some knowledge about most of them.
ReplyDeleteLearning about Yankees is boring. It's unsurprising they feel the same about us. Yankees are just marching to a secular "End of History". Tradition, culture, faith, ethnicity: These are what are fun to learn about.
What foreigners should realise is that when the US "helps" a foreigner, it's wanting to spread that "End of History" ideology. Death.
Thanks.
