After having a look at it, I mentionned some of the elements to a friend like "do you know where they put the Pisa tower on this map?" and he answer "you are talking about the one in France?" which is exactly one of the error shown on the map! I remember reading an article, wrote by someone I believe to be the president of the American Geographic association, complaining that so many people don't know where thing are and that even many prestigious American University don't have a geographic department... One of the lowest rate of Geographer among the industrial countries. I also remember a tv show where a known journalist went on a counttry wide crusade, asking people questions, but not anybody, like asking a senator who is the "president" of Canada and gave a wrong answer, asking a Univsity professors of Geography (I think it was Harvard?. Not sure... I think that one doesn't have a geography department) his opinion on the Calgary seal hunt. And gave it!!! He might as well ask him how he like Cuban snow shoes... Is it funny or sad?...
