Did you know that Russian troops are thrusting into the outskirts of Savannah, Georgia? That’s what readers will learn from a Google Maps graphic accompanying a news story about Russian incursions into Georgia.

That is geniously stupid.

[orionstarr]

haha pretty stupid isn't it?

[svartikins]

Yeah totally. You guys didn't know?

There's like constant bombing and stuff. Fortunately, I've been fending off the Russian army with rock music.

[orionstarr]

will there be another cold war?

[AnarchyintheUK]

I don't like to think of Americans as stupid but that one person certainly is.

[orionstarr]

You wouldn't believe it man! Some can't even point out Iraq on a map.

I think it's more frightening that no editor caught the fact that the map was wrong. I have a feeling that the person who asked the question was just having fun to see what the response would be.

That has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Wait, Mastodon are from Atlanta - just call those guys and they'll rock those Russkies into submission!

That's awfully high, don't you think? ;)

It depends on the day. Today was exceptionally high.

I have to work tonight so it will likely drop again.:D

I REALLY hope the guy who posted that was joking...

Actually, it's not entirely inaccurate. Russian hackers are trying to knock the homepage of the Georgian president offline, and he responded by having his office's online presence (and his own personal site) located on a server based out of Atlanta, which now too is facing the hacker threat.

That being said, the fighter planes have yet to be summoned to Atlanta... just Tbilisi.
