'Smelly people, 'commies' and 'dirty porn': Europe mapped by national stereotypes - Telegraph

Yanko Tsvetkov, a Bulgarian designer and illustrator living in London, has produced seven maps in which countries and regions are labelled according to the stereotypes of their inhabitants held by the people of other nationalities.

In a map titled Europe According to USA, Russia is blocked out in red and labelled "Commies" while France reads "Smelly People" and Germany reads "dirty porn". Britain is simply labelled: "Mummy".

Now for the politcally correct bit?

Haha, very Palin-esque. I do especially like to see the Iberian Peninsula.
