    CNN needs to learn Geography

    Error
    http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/europe/sites.html
    Error


    Under this link you will find Europe Related Sites of CNN and surprise surprise they do have a country called "Macedonia" with the capital of Pella!!! Another dumba*s that was never taught geography. You know I hate when such provocation occur especially from a news site like CNN who should be objective and its mission to give us the news!!!

    For those who do not know: Ancient Pella is in Greece I'd say about 150 km inland from FYROM and pretty close to Thesaloniki and New Pella is right next to it. Macedonia was, is and will always be Greek even if Greece was wiped out it still will be Greek.

    I had to vent sorry...



    So long...

    Edit: For all those that can read Greek:

    That's where I found the news.

        No, they aren't.

        And the capital of Macedonia is Skopje.

          Stefu that cracks me up every time I see it! But I bet you that 99 out of 100 Americans would never actually know the difference.

          Ect, no they aren't.

          Thank you Dan.

                        But it's not easy to write. I always first spell it as Checz or Chezc or something, then start to think there's something wrong here.

                        Just like Finnish MP Ben Zyscowicz (I'm not sure if the name's spelled right.) They once did a poll, where they found that people had 100+ ways to spell his name, incl. 'Zyssykovitz' and 'Zyzcowits'.
