First time I've looked at this thread, and the maps are hilarious. I don't have any links to ridiculous maps. But I do remember once reading a CNN story back when I lived in Tokyo, and where the story mentioned Japan, the name of the country was hyperlinked. I clicked on the link, and a map popped up identifying Japan. Thankfully, the map was at least right, but I sat there wondering why the online editor felt it was necessary to remind readers where Japan was... I understand now; they were not reminding readers, they were reminding themselves
