Post-geography, or just Poe?

Apparently, somebody didn't get an atlas for Christmas. I genuinely can't decide whether this is as stupid as it looks, or whether we're being trolled, maybe in order to generate headlines about anything except the actually existing mess this project's in.

Whatever you're up to, Liam, you just gave a whole new meaning to the familiar phrase "Fox geography howler."

While we're on the topic of Poe's Law, here's something to contemplate the next time somebody accuses Lefties of being humourless, politically-correct killjoys. It's the definition of Poe's Law, according to those whacky funsters at Conservapedia:

"Poe’s Law is an Internet adage that inappropriately compares God's mighty handiwork during the Creation to an insipid genre of satire."*

I guess that if you want to believe in things like trickle down, austerity and Fox News headlines, and still keep a straight face, a total sense of humour bypass must be pretty much your only option.
