In order to understand the news, a context of world geography and history is essential. That is why The Onion is publishing a world atlas: to help us. News that now makes no sense will now make sense. Thus begins a new age of enlightenment.
OUR DUMB WORLD contains, among other things:
- News and historic facts from other nations
- Historic timelines for countries
- Rejected flag designs
- The earth broken down and described, from its molten core to the outermost sphere, and the location of heaven
- Demographic, economic and other -ic data about each country's people, industries, and habits
Every country will be categorized in a number of ways, including:
- Ethnic cleanliness
- Level of Bono activity
- Prop comedians per 1,000 live birds
- Yearly income in wide-screen televisions
- The Monkeys they got
- Where it sees itself in five years
- Color boxes for average skin color
- Chart listing benefits of invading said country
- Most annoying handicrafts
OUR DUMB WORLD is the first original Onion audiobook in eight years--a gut-busting send-up in which no nation escapes unscathed.
