The Onion explains Our Dumb World
To correspond with the release of their book Our Dumb World, the Onion has set up an online atlas to "reveal mind-expanding factoids about the lesser, conquerable nations of the Earth." The atlas is loads of fun, just like most everything related to the Onion, and it is updated with new content every week. It's somewhat reminiscent of the "Conan O'Brien Hates My Homeland" series, though the Onion's atlas seems slightly (only slightly) less offensive.
On China: "With over 700 billion citizens manufactured since 1892, China is the world's largest mass producer of Chinese."
On Brazil: "Boasting some of the sexiest people ever to be stabbed repeatedly at night, Brazil is home to perhaps the most attractive victims of carjacking, robbery, and violent assault in the world."
On Jordan: "From many years of regional conflicts to a recent shortage of natural resources, Jordan has had a long and troubled history. On the bright side, however, King Abdullah II made a very wise choice when he married Queen Rania.
So, so true.
