Our Dumb World: Atlas of the Planet Earth
Our Dumb World: Atlas of the Planet Earth | The Onion Inc
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
OUR DUMB WORLD is the world's most comprehensive fake atlas: a repository of all known information about the planet Earth (except where covered by clouds). In late 2007 the hardcover edition became one of the hottest books of the holiday season, entertaining and offending hundreds of thousands of readers around the globe. This new, easy-to-carry paperback edition is perfect for the intrepid traveler to any of the world's exotic locales--from Afghanistan, "Allah's Cat Box," to Ukraine, "the Bridebasket of Europe," to the USA's own Nevada, "Where Everyone's a Loser." Packed with beautiful full-color maps and framed with inaccurate essays about all the world's peoples and places, OUR DUMB WORLD is a gut-busting send-up in which no nation escapes unscathed. "Bottom line: laughed my head off." --Deirdre Donahue, USA Today

Ahhh hahaha I‘ve definitely had this thought listening to audiobooks before. Sometimes if I don‘t like an audiobook I have to think hard about whether I‘m judging the book unfairly because I didn‘t like the reader. Does anyone else do that? (Repost of the Onion on Instagram).

Smartypants Yes! I‘ve decided to read a book instead of listen based on the narrator for the audiobook. 8y
alisahar @Smartypants sometimes if the reader is really over the top and cheesy it‘s hard to tell if it‘s the reader or the book! 8y
Godmotherx5 Narrators can make or break a book. They are critical to audio experience. 8y
Lcsmcat I have. And I‘ve chosen to listen based on the narrator too. 8y
