CNBC Sucks at Geography

I caught CNBC's special The New Age of Wal-Mart on Saturday. I think I hate Wal-Mart, but I don't see why a town should resist getting one if it used to have an Ames or a K-Mart.

What most annoyed me is that CNBC's graphics department doesn't know shit about geography. During the show, CNBC showed the following map of Japan when it talked about Wal-Mart's global presence. Maybe it's esoteric, but does anyone else notice something wrong with this map?


The northern most island that's colored yellow isn't Japan. That's Russia.

CNBC: let's clean it up. I'm available as a consultant.
