Let's be honest: the story itself was funny. What's funny is funny. Even if it’s Vovan and Lexus, even if this joke would be much more suitable for the satirist Zadornov with his “stupid Americans,” but it’s really funny.
And I won’t even say anything here about our leaders with their quotes from “Suvorov”, they say, I would be glad to serve... well, and so on. Ignorance has no specific nationality at all. And in any parliament you will find an assessor who would not be released from school because of solid bad marks. Millions of inhabitants of our planet are sure that the Sun revolves around the Earth, but it’s okay, somehow people live.
Americans are really obsessed with their problems. A Texas globe would really suit them. But, honestly, is that so bad?! Is it really better than ours? You turn on some final TV show on any of the channels, and for an hour and a half or two there is not a word about Russia at all, except perhaps Putin. But it’s all Syria, Ukraine, America...
Thanks to this, we already know quite well the geography of the Near and Middle East, we understand Shiites and Sunnis, and the election system in the United States. But we don’t know a damn thing about our country.
By the way! About Limpopo too! Purely for the sake of experimentation, having almost written this short note, I typed the word “Limpopo” into the Yandex search, and what do you think? The second most popular query is “what is this”, the third is “state”, the fourth is “country”.
What about the first one? "News". Apparently, people want to know news about Limpopo and President Aibolit.
