What’s wrong with this map?
The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet recently published a very large, very cool map of the spread of bird flu. The least cool thing about it, though, is the fact that Slovenia and Croatia have been unwillingly fused together. (Not for the first time, I should add.)
It would be easier to forgive the mapmakers if they hadn’t taken such obvious pains outlining little Luxembourg. But I suppose we can all be thankful that they didn’t commit the cardinal sin — unlike certain other newspapers, like the major Turkish daily Zaman, which recently reported an outbreak of bird flu in Slovakia as happening here. A (chicken) pox on them!
(Tack Vesna!)
