Read daily newspapers from all over the world at the Newseum, make assumptions about other cultures [I Heart Internets]

Harnessing the power of the internets, you can read news from all over the world.  Shocking, I know.  While you can visit website after website, gleaning information here and there, if you wanted to take a glimpse at printed versions of daily papers around the globe, you could either a) invent a teleporter to zip around the globe and pick up newspapers from every country or b) visit the website of the Newseum and see the front pages of papers from practically every country.

Not only is this much more convenient, but imagine the fun you can have making broad generalizations about an entire population of people just based on photos and the vaguest of understanding of the local language.

For example:

People in Kosovo (see picture above) enjoy military processions and Condi Rice.

Folks in Iceland enjoy horses.  A lot.  Possibly to the point of having illegal relations with the.  And produce.

Hospitals in Australia are dicks, Australia is full of mobsters and Australians apparently love the cock.

Brazilians like to play soccer and jump really high, they like to make large gestures with their hands and there was an accident somewhere with a bus that killed 17 lesbians.

Puerto Rico loves them some boxing and is full of really hot chicks.

All men in Taiwan wear smart business suits and really suck at graphic design and newspaper layout.

People in India ski a lot and enjoy burying themselves up the head in caramel corn.

Canadians enjoy wildlife, hockey and Barack Obama.

Firefighters in Maine are really fit and healthy and they have really shitty news photographers.
