- Notes:
- A clever satirical map of the world, recording the "useless stereotypes" of our time. Among many pointed references are the regions in which each country has the same stereotypical view of the other: each European country thinks the others are "Arrogant," and each Middle Eastern country considers the other "Bad." Not surprisingly, given the source of the map, a disproportionately large New York metropolitan area fills roughly one-third of the map, with Bushwick regarding Greenpoint as "Yuppie," Greenpoint considering Williamsburg the same, and so on into the East Village and Manhattan.
