While this looks like a gaff... it is really a T-Shirt for the band Asia's upcoming Africa tour...

I've heard that Africa is poised to become a manufacturing center "like" China.. I didn't think they would take things this far.

Reminds me of this European Union attempt to resolve all the worlds problems.

You know how some problems are always reported:-

"The Amazon rain forest is losing an area equivalent to the size of Wales every year."

OR

"Global warming will cause an area the size of Wales to be flooded in the next five years."

Well the EU came up with this "lateral thinking" solution.

.

Tilt the symbol 45 degrees anti-clockwise and it could be Australia.

Don't people learn anything in schools any more?

You just discovered Atlantis the mysterious island East of Australia. Earth axis was tilted at the time the island existed. Some people still think that Australia is actually Asia that looks like Africa!

Pretty sure this was what presidential candidate Gary Johnson was wearing when he was asked about Aleppo.

It probably isn't too far from the truth for Africa as well as the U.S.. With much of our national debt held by China, the silhouette of the U.S. could arguably be there too, as belonging to Asia/China!

Look at this. LOOK at this!

So, I sponsored these guys Magellan and Elcano - 237 guys, five ships - FIVE ships I tell ya. THAT cost a pretty penny.

Find me a shortcut to the Spice Island I tells him. "No problem" he says.

Three years! Three years I waited for them guys to come back...

And all I got was this crummy tee-shirt.

Before Columbus sailed west and thought he'd found India, he sailed south and thought he'd found Asia.

It is wrong for lack of geographical education. Anyone with some study know it is not Asia. It is obviously: Australia and New Zealand.

In evaluating the Class Term Project, the Public High School Dean was overheard to mutter:

''Hmmmm, maybe the admission requirements to Advanced Placement Geography Class have been relaxed a little tooooo much, after all...''

"You guys screwed up. That's the wrong text, it should be Toto, not Asia. Can't you remember which band plays which songs?"

As an aside, if it DID say "Toto" it's be an AWESOME band shirt.
