Mapping Stereotypes: Europe according to Americans
Europe According to USA
...and other stereotypes by Yanko Tsvetkov (thx to Rob for pointing me to this site)!
Working under the pseudonym "alphadesigner" which (according to him) makes people usually think that his work is really important. Regardless... Yanko hits the nail right on its head when it comes to stereotypes.
You gotta love the European map as seen by different states/cultures. And if you really think that everybody in Austria eats Apfelkuchen for breakfast and Italy is infested by Godfathers... then you either watch too many movies or ...are American LOL.
