Note: some are stereotypical in my opinion, but please take it lightheartedly with a grain, no a handful of salt.

This chart is so stereotypical. The U.S. one was really rude, couldn't they have put Hollywood or most multicultural nation, hell I'd even take pet rocks (hey it shows Americans have open minds). I noticed that they didn't put "drug cartels" next to Mexico or "Human Trafficking." Yea I know you wrote this graph shouldn't be taken seriously but they could have done something really amazing with it. I mean really Germany got something cute, so did Ireland. :-/
Oh yea, it is REALLY stereotypical.
