All joking aside though, at least our best and brightest can make up for where the rest of us proles fail in our geographical knowledge....

They have finally realised their "small" mistake.

Iceland and Finland are so similar. I mean there's letter "i" in both of them. And word "land".
No wonder how they mixed them up.

I personally expect better from MSV - Hertfordshire's number one games industry pamphlet.

Iceland isn't even a real country anyway, it's a popular frozen food chain!



Although I'd admit, it's pretty shocking they have their own volcano!

I guess that's why mums go to Iceland!

LOL. Americans generally don't even understand the concept of having a laugh at their own expense. Which isn't a criticism before they start. It's just a different culture. In the same way that I've never seen anyone in the UK with a Union Jack hanging in their garden.

Hehe I appreciate the travel chaos is a pain, but there is no need to declare war on frozen food.

Seriously though, amazing how the press can f*ck up so badly, I visited Iceland a few years ago and I have to say it's one of the nicest parts of Germany.

I have always confused Iceland with Antarctica and Im American so dont mock me or else!!! We bypass humor and go straight to six-guns over here.

Btw if the volcano melts all the ice, what the hell are you guys gonna rename it to?
Rockland, Lavaland, Beckerland???
