CNN revives German Democratic Republic

Funny: According to German news magazine tagesschau.de, the CNN weather forecast still draws a thick border between the former German Democratic Republic and West Germany:

CNN Europe: West Germany and the GDR

Of course, we really can’t expect them to update their maps within 17 years after a major political event.

The screenshot is an actual screenshot from today, but meanwhile, CNN has acknowledged the “recent” developments in world history and removed the obsolete border. Luckily, you can’t zoom in any further — otherwise we’d likely find the Berlin Wall intact and well-guarded ;) .

    If you ask CNN, it’s the one right next to the GDR ;)

    PS: They have changed it like a day after some people started blogging about it. Finally! :)

    Haha, let’s hear it for CNN, America’s oldest 24-hour news network!

    >_<
