The U.S. According to Brits

For Thanksgiving chuckles, BuzzFeed asked a bunch of Brits to label blank maps of the United States. The results are quite amusing. Nebraska got treated pretty badly, catching labels such as Farmland, Further South Dakota, and Nobody Cares (can't argue with that one, really). Of course everyone got the great state of Texas -- except for one idiot who labelled it Nevada. Seriously, dude? I mean, no region in the world is as distinctive as the shape of Texas. Well, I suppose it's better than being mistaken for Nebraska.

Of course, if you gave me a blank map of the UK and asked me to label the various bits, I could probably get it broken down as far as Scotland and England. Oh, and Middlesex. Because sex, right? Not too fond of the middle part, though.
