- Zique, on 10/10/2007, -0/+63More maps like that (300+): http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/thumbnails/mapindex1-12.html
- consoneo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+55So, the basic theme here, is Africa is ***** up.
That's what you should take away from this whole thing I think..
It's amazing how bad it is :( - wafflez, on 10/10/2007, -12/+56AMERICA! ***** YEAH!
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -5/+32It looks like someone went crazy with the liquefy tool in Photoshop.
- rhylan, on 10/10/2007, -4/+26Nice to see my country (Britain) is a world leader...
...even if it is for alcohol consumption - Kratos76, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24It's per capita dumbass.
- tehbored, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22Ah yes, 2002. Back when we didn't spend more on our military than the rest of the world combined (only 45 %). Also, I thought Russia would be bigger for alcohol consumption.
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -4/+25And you don't think.
- rhylan, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23Haha - i dont think people realised you were being sarcastic there - honestly i think the digg comment system should have a little check box to show if your being sarcastic or not
- ShadySpace, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Man, we should really do something about Africa.
- univerio, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Look who's selling all the toys! Look who's buying all the toys!
Suckers. - robszol, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16where's one that makes Canada look big...hmm
finally!
http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=59 - bajesus, on 10/10/2007, -5/+20That is the only appropriate use of the caps lock button
- dallascorbin504, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16All the Canadians are too stoned to drink!! I need to move there myself.
- Skanadian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I was looking at all the blue thinking it was US and Canada. Then I realized Canada was squished above it.
:( - danewb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Goddamn. Military spending and America is practically the size of the globe itself. Now I feel safe. Except for if the government gets pissed and decides to kill it's population. Then we'd be screwed.
- MackPrime, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Australia's alcohol consumption is way too low on that.
- junk2006, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13its ironic that U.S. has the biggest military budget but it has no wars
- matt646, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12You just said "tards" ...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -17/+27lets see, whos going to drink more. 300 million people or 30 million...........
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9house prices in japan is really ***** up.
- kuzotz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=206
extremely accurate!!! - noclue, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9How do you know he WAS being sarcastic? Take them apples!
- Kratos76, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8By the look of the maps, Canada doesn't do much of anything.
- xxNIRVANAxx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I'm trying my hardest to bring up that percentage.
- gratajik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7This one probably helps explain why the government seems to keep backing the RIAA, and why we keep trying to get other countries to enforce RIAA-like rules:
http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=99 - noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7no, because i can't stand people who lol at their own comments.
- rhylan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Thank you - there's going to be proud single teenage parents all round Britain whose eyes are going to be welling up after hearing this...
God I love my country - kuzotz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=267
shockingly enduring. - Buckiller, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7thats why we use globes as our maps
- davidrools, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Asia drinks a lot...is that why they can't drive?
(just a joke, and im half chinese) - evanmyers, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5oh man, I thought it said Oreos.
http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=61 - 0crabby0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6We use a new and improved, sophisticated system at Digg to indicate sarcasm - the use of the "lol"
lol - dark2025, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Yeah, it seems that in all the maps that might indicate health in a region, Africa's just a thin line. Amazing when contrasted with the some of the negative things like HIV prevalence. I really wish the nations of Africa would stop fighting and reinvest all the money spent on military into education, hospitals, and social welfare in general.
- ICSU, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4They have cheap houses apparently.
- rhylan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5kind of takes away that dry edge that some commenter's might be looking for though
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Like HELL Canada doesn't drink.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086373/ - SteelFrog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3We keep to ourselves and are secretly amassing a giant army of beavers and moose.
- ph00tbag, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Everyone needs to look at that war deaths map and wonder if maybe something should be done about the Congo.
Just maybe. - ICSU, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3We tried and those are the results (see wealth comparison 1500-2002).
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Take off, hoser.
- themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2How come I think Canada was left out of this?
- blitzer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4This should really be per capita. Countries like Canada, Australia and Russia look really small, simply because of their large territory and smaller popluation.
- 0crabby0, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Congratulations
The alcohol map is inaccurate - Argentina should be larger with all of it's wine consumption...lol - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2bastards stole all our money!
- FiP0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Concerning russia'alcohol consumption, I suppose it the same case as Canada : They may drink a lot (or maybe it's just a cliché ?), but the country is so big, that the population density is very low...
- RyeBrye, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Did you read the article? All the images are flat-plane projections.
- dstz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"Per capita would obviously make sense, however look at the map for carbon emissions. http://www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/display.php?selected=295
Australia is small, however per capita they should be as big as the US:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CO2_per_capita_per_country.png
So your wrong, dumbass."
To put in perspective when people are raging against Chinese pollution, folks. - brotherfranciz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Whoa! Look how big Hong Kong is in the "Toy Exports" cartogram - those green island blobs with the light blue (sea) wrapped around it...
- cr1t, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I must say that it is funny that America has the highest spend on Millitary and Afrika the highest war and death ratio also we HIV is bit of a downer but you can't beet Africa for better deal on property.
