Those continents sure are upside down.
Is this going to be a new tradition, these really random targets for insults? We've had timelapse videos, Kim Dotcom (in the alt-text), and now upside-down maps. Upside-down maps, may I add, that I've only ever seen once before, on single post on tumblr (about how white people are all self centered or whatever).
Now, I'll do a few semi-random attacks on here, but they're usually in some kind of reference format, for instance: This comic has worse production values than Damon Alburn! Look at how Randy put every single country in there instead of using the time to think up an actual joke.
I've said it before (but with different words) but it's like the computational linguists comic if he removed Black Hat's monologue that sets everything up.
btw Channel Awesome sure is fucked, isn't it?
Furthermore, I think it's perfectly legitimate to be interested in what the Earth looks like upside down. For ages we only see the shapes of the continents one way, on maps, globes, etc; it's not at all shocking to me that people would be surprised when they saw the familiar shapes reorientated. Yeah, if people were really overdramatizing it, that could be worthy of parody, but I've literally never seen it.
And even if it was worthy of parody, this is a really shallow attempt. For example, Spaceballs is a great (if low replay value) parody of Star Wars. It doesn't just redo Star Wars in silly voices, it takes the ideas of Star Wars and makes jokes based on that.
Also my friend Drew made this. Check it out!
