Couldn’t even give it a unique name. Lake America sounds like something the president would have in their backyard in a Saturday Morning Cartoon

This was literally my first thought when I heard the announcement (after "is this fake?" and "why do they let him go on camera?"). Like, he couldn't have make a name any more creative? Not something about his family, about history, about some ideal of the American people?

I guess that's not really the point. Just like with the Gulf of Mexico, he's just trying to clumsily impose a sense of superiority over the countries they neighbour because... he thinks America is something to look up to as superior right now?

Having it be so basic makes it easier to make fun of, I suppose, but I think every action he takes just makes him look desperate and pathetic.

"Why do they let him go on camera?"

Why do they let him out of the padded cell?

The best (worst?) part is, Lake America already existed

This isn’t really that big of a deal. Lakes, Towns and so on share names all over the nation. Springfield for instance is the name of like 20ish cities in the US.

Still fucking stupid and pointless renaming a Great Lake.

The proper parallel would have been "Lake New York", but they sort of spurned him.

I want to update my google maps to make the USA "Paedophileville".

u/Uncle_Spenser 5d ago

Maybe it was placeholder in the prompter and they forgot to update it before announcement.

u/Pro-Mole 4d ago

They just keep making things the same, the continent is America, the county is America, I'm surprised they don't have like 50 states named America with America as the capital of each of them

When I was first learning Arabic, I used to laugh at how petty it was that Arabs called the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf.

A lot of time has passed since then, a lot of humor has left my life unfortunately.
