As it is, Americans are notorious for being bad at geography and NBC isn’t helping any with their 2012 Olympic profile page for Australia. According to the juggernaut, Australia is “located in central Europe, bordered to the north by Germany and the Czech Respublic, to the west by Switzerland and Liechtenstein, to the south by Italy and Slovenia, and the east by Hungary and Slovakia.” To be fair, they’re only off by like a continent. UPDATE: It’s been fixed, Australia is no longer a landlocked country in Europe.

Update: "It's" been fixed.
Joe (Bad) Grammar, do you read?
Pretty sure it should by "It's"… as in "It has" been fixed. But I don't read, so how would I know…
So we've been transported out of Europe again? Nice article. Recently at a G20 summit, I think, cake decorators at an official party portrayed our Prime Minister in traditional Austrian costume. We'll take any publicity
Lucky Australians!
Wish someone would transport me to Austria…
