omg! At first one chuckles, and then as Howard notes, what a damned shame! The t-shirt company should be shut down over such stupidity...

By accident, I came across this Indiana T-shirt for children showing the name with the wrong state outlined in the background. And we wonder why so many American kids are geographically illiterate!

On a related note, my cousin, a recent M.B.A. from Wharton, had a job interview at Warren Buffett's headquarters in Omaha. He tried to butter up the interviewer by stating how thrilled he was to be in Oklahoma, and hasn't heard back.
