Damn you Jeep, you really want to piss off the Yoopers? Using a piece of shit map without the UP on it, and not noticing? During a Superbowl ad? That's how you piss off Yoopers. We find maps like this as a passtime, just to discover who the stupid people are, 'cause if you can't draw the accurate outline of the 48, what good are you?




Mountain Dew already made this mistake, recently too... so, don't try that lame excuse about not being responsible for making this crappy map, you used it, and are too stupid to look at it? 

In 2019, Mountain Dew made a mistake involving the U.P. when it incorrectly included a map of the U.S. in a national ad campaign that included the Upper Peninsula as part of Wisconsin. And while Mountain Dew at least remembered the U.P. in that flub, it was still a mistake that required an apology and other offerings. The company eventually created a special label for the U.P. and held a special event in the peninsula to ask for forgiveness.

This isn’t the first or second time this type of mistake has been made, either. “The New Yorker” made a similar mistake in December when a cartoonist included the U.P. as part of Wisconsin, too. “Saturday Night Live” forgot to include the U.P. on a map used in a 2019 skit as well.

And while those oversights are frustrating coming from outsiders, to have it come from a Michigan-based company is particularly egregious 

The Auburn Hills-based automaker -- yes the company headquarters is in Michigan and because they are ignorant below the bridge moron trolls, used a map that doesn't include the Upper Peninsula in a commercial that aired during the Super Bowl yesterday night.

  3. As it turns out, that is the map that's at the church. Not that is matters much.
