Sorry, but this is just lame. Fail.
Not as lame as Sarah Palin’s candidacy!
Agreed.
It might be better if it said, “Places Sarah Palin can see from Alaska,” but not by all that much.
You don’t need to mention Sarah Palin since most people will know it’s a Sarah Palin reference. The current title doesn’t take away any humour unless you absolutely need the obvious pointed out, although you seem to already clearly understand the obvious inwhich for you the title “Places Sarah Palin can see from Alaska” should seem redundant to you. (It would for me anyway.)
Ofcourse humour is cultural, so, maybe this kind of humour is just not in your culture.
you can probably also see canada from some parts of Alaska
I would think, at the very least, you can see Alaska from Alaska too. This is a clear fail.
Keeping up with not-so-current current events fail.
It’s a joke about Sarah Palin saying she can see Russia from her house.
But it’s true; you can see Alaska from Alaska so Alaska should be highlighted as well. Also, Canada. This map is a fail & so is your blindness.
You are full of POP CULTURE fail. so, FAIL.
saying you can see alaska from alaska is absurdly & preposterously stupid. of course you can, because it displays that YOU ARE IN ALASKA at that moment, so what else should there be to see? botswana? it’s like saying ‘i can see my hand when i hold in front of my eyes’…
Soooo… To further that thought, if you were IN your hand you would then fail to be able to see it anymore?
WHAT??!!??!? seriously dude, that is ridiculous!! may i have the number of your dealer please, he must offer some good stuff. i know my hand-example wasn’t the best one, but i guess u missed the point a bit… i mean dude… seriously…
It really should be “Places Sarah Palin can see from Alaska” otherwise Alaska and Canada should be included.
The interesting part is that it’s still pretty hard to see MOSCOW from Alaska, which is really the more important part of Russia than the Bearing Strait!
That’s why it’s hilarious that Palin makes such a big deal out of the fact that she can see the frozen, sparsely-inhabited wastes of Siberia from her Alaska home. Who cares if you can see some islands that happen to be in Russia? That doesn’t mean you know anything about Russian politics. My dog can see the TV, but that doesn’t mean he understands the news on CNN. A baby can see the backyard, but that doesn’t mean she understands lawn care.
That is the smartest thing I’ve read so far.
facetious detection fail
I’m not an idiot. I got the joke. It just wasn’t funny.
And it should have been titled, “Places Sarah Palin can see from her house.” Then I wouldn’t have said anything.
Except Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her house. Tina Fey did. Palin just commented on being able to see Russia from parts of Alaska. Though that still doesn’t give her Foreign policy experience.
No you can’t. I was in Alaska once. The moment you cross the border everything goes black. It was one of Einstein’s lesser known theories: “Time slows down as you approach the speed of light. And light totally bends around Alaska.”
LOL. And I thought the map was funny too.
You seem to have forgotten Canada and Washington State. Get some glasses so you can read the map better.
um…i don’t think you can see washington state from alaska…canada, definitly (as it is alaska’s only border)
You’re right. I didn’t have my own glasses on when I wrote that. For some reason, I thought some Canadian islands were a part of Alaska.
Self-FAIL
Perhaps if one had some really good binoculars…
That’s Vancouver, love.
^^Understanding the joke FAIL.
Whole joke fail. How can you see russia from alaska? They’re on opposite sides of the world! (see map)
Um the world is round… I hope you were exercising your sarcasm muscle there Delibarit.
O_O
EPIC GEOGRAPHY FAIL.
^^ Understanding Delibarit’s joke fail.
Seriousness fail
I lol’d.
Well played, Sir.
I think possibly the most fun thing to do on this site is to draw out the massive stupidity of others ^_^
I couldn’t agree more.
Thanks to the curvature of the Earth, the only place in Alaska that you can actually see Russia from is an island in the Bearing Sea.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:The_Diomede_Islands_in_the_BeringSea_(picture_from_space).jpg
With Sarah Palin’s continuous diplomatic involvement with world leaders and reading every newspaper that exists, I doubt she’s ever had time to visit the Diomedes.
But she can see it. Isn’t that enough?
Agreed. That’s plenty of experience to found a foreign policy on
So… you criticize someone’s lack of foreign policy because your own is so immaculate that you are able to scoff? Pfft. You’re probably like every other retarded Demo-publican in America, and therefore not even worth my time…
Yeah, and if he (she?) runs for VP, I will not vote for him, either. Palin’s foreign policy experience only started mattering when she became the Republican VP candidate.
Alcari’s not running for VP. Logic fail.
Apparently her husband has though. The wikipedia page for the islands links to his travel page. I still think the woman is a walking punchline.
Geography and humor FAIL
Wow, this hasn’t been done before at all…
Can people at least be clever?
Yes indeed! EPIC FAIL!
Try something new.
Well this isn’t even remotely funny….
I’m usually not one to pick apart so-so graphs, but this one is just disappointing. It could have been a Venn diagram with “Places you can see from Alaska” as a subset of “Places Palin can see from Alaska” at the least.
considering the Aleutian islands span so far there is much more you can see from alaska, that is if there was unlimit4ed visibility and you had a very powerful telescope
Yawn
Ha ha! I like it.
Epic Fail on multiple levels : Geography, politics, current events
Good news is, there’s a place at failblog for this
…Wow, I can’t believe the comments on this. This is hilarious if you’re following politics. I admit, it could have more clarification, but seriously. SERIOUSLY.
I thought you had to be living under a rock to not have heard Palin’s comments about Alaska and Russia.
Apparently rocks are very popular as homes…
Well, admittedly, some readers aren’t in America. Although worldwide, she’s been getting a lot of chuckles for that one. ;-P
That’s so true – when not laughing the rest of the world is watching her in horror. (I’m in Yurrup.)
Pretty sure the is the worst respoce to any graph on GraphJam!
GRAPH FAIL WIN!
respoce?
TYPING FAIL WIN!
Uh, Canada? Duh!
and canada yeah
who care’s if it fails, its stupid anyway, if it was correct i still would not understand why it is funny. who cares what Alaska can see.
btw, i’ll be nerdy and ask if anyone can actually see Russia from Alaska?
Already answered. Apparently, on the Diomede Islands you can see the big sturgeon (Russia, for you stupids).
Anyways, Palin’s seeing Russia from her house is that she sits on the balcony in a gillie suit with a sniper rifle the size of my… ego… and from the super-scope* she can see Russia. She can’t see Canada because she, like everyone else in existence, could care less.
-
*Don’t give me that “But, Ope! Snipers can only see two miles! You are fail!” And so on. I don’t care. No one does. It’s not funny. Go home, sit down, and shut up. Save your bullcrap for why you take so long in the shower.
Would have been marginally funny if the OP had managed to colour in ALL of Russia…
It’s a lot more time-consuming to do so if one only has MSPaint to work with. Unlike Photoshop and its imitators, MSPaint’s fill tool does not allow you to color in “everything that’s this exact color AND shades very close to it.” It only fills a patch that is coded as exactly the same color. While the differences between the shades of gray on a map are difficult for the human eye to detect, they are totally different colors to a computer.
I’ve used both, and for cases like this, Photoshop is definitely better. I did the “Global Relevance” chart in MSPaint, and it took me at least 3 hours just to shade everything without leaving gray outlines everywhere. And it takes a lot more precision and skill than just having Photoshop fill in all the gray at once for you.
Wot about mars? Everyone forgets mars. Where would you put that on a map like this?
In Soviet Russia, Alaska sees you!
Geography fail. At least include Alaska, Canada, and Washington.
I find it funny that Alaska’s legitimacy as a state is being questioned nowadays since Palin’s candidacy.
And look on the bright side… at least she’s not infanticidal. *glares at Obama*
Why does everyone fail to notice that this is a two way street? I can see Alaska from my Russian dacha…
am i the only one who noticed that Alaska is not colored?
No, you’re not. Read the previous comments and use proper capitalization.
u cant see Alaska from alaska?
I saw russia from alaska too, on google earth.
dumbass what about canada?
Stop complaining you assholes, if you don’t get the joke it’s your fault
