Deliberate Mistakes
Tuesday, 25th January 2005
About a year ago the Only in Kenya flash animation was “the big thing”. I have the t-shirt to prove it. Now the obvious mistake here is that you don’t actually get tigers in Kenya. Or Africa at all. Except in zoos. And that doesn’t really count.
More recently I was shown the Only in Lapland (also flash) version over at the fantastic albinoblacksheep.com.
Now, everyone knows that Santa lives in Lapland (when he’s not starring in movies at any rate) – so no problem there. And of course there are snowflakes in Lapland. Why else would Santa need all that fur. The issue is that the animation claims that Lapland is better than Norway – completely ignoring the fact that Lapland is partly in Norway. Unless of course Santa lives in the Swedish, Finnish or Russian bit of Lapland.
Weigh In?
