Book Reviews of Our Dumb World: The Onion's Atlas of the Planet Earth, 73rd Edition

Book Review: Our Funny World
Summary: 5 Stars

While some things in this book may be deemed inappropriate or highly offensive, the majority of the book does an amazing job at taking countries stereotypes to an entirely new level. The book is organized by region and then country. There is an index to quickly find the country you are looking for. The book Our Dumb World included many more graphics and pages of information than I anticipated, It is well worth the money! If you have some knowledge of history and world events, you will love this book!

Summary of Our Dumb World: The Onion's Atlas of the Planet Earth, 73rd Edition

Our Dumb World: The Onion's Atlas of The Planet Earth, 73rd Edition features incorrect statistics on all of the Earth's 168, 182, or 196 independent nations. It also features maps, including a fold-out world map at actual size. Readers will learn about every country from Afghanistan, "Allah's Cat Box," to the Ukraine, "The Bridebasket of Europe."
Today's news-parody consumer cannot possibly understand made-up current events without the context of fake world history and geography. That is why The Onion is publishing a world atlas: to help us.
Our Dumb World is an invaluable tool for any reader interested in overthrowing a weakened government in East Asia, exploiting a developing nation in Africa, or for directions to tonight's party at Erica's. It is a reference guide to 250,000 of the world's most important places, such as North Korea's Trench of Victory, the Great Human Pyramid of Egypt, and Saudi Arabia's superhighway, the Mohammedobahn.
