Yesterday we noted a "Map of the United States" on Funny or Die that interpreted the identity of the rest of the country through a specific "New York State of Mind," and asked you to show us your own, profound survey on why the rest of the country is different and therefore inferior to our shining, neoteric metropolis in the sky.
The response wasn't exactly overwhelming (one of the maps illustrates why) and there were submissions that we couldn't publish (mostly naughty words about Southerners) but your spirit was in the right place. Our map is the work of caffeine-addled brains that digest more "New York" on a daily basis than is medically sound. Enjoy!
