No Sense Of Humour?

Satirical blog angers the Maldives

The Maldives has complained after a satirical blog claimed the island nation was to be omitted from the Times Atlas of the World.
It was written after scientists said the new edition of the Times Atlas had exaggerated the scale of ice-cover reduction in Greenland.
Climate change sceptic James Delingpole, in a Daily Telegraph blog, said the next edition would omit low-lying areas, such as the Maldives.
The spoof blog post was taken seriously by several media outlets in the Maldives, which is at risk from rising sea levels, reports the BBC.
Mr Delingpole's blog said the atlas would continue its "Climate Change alarmism", by completely erasing the Maldives, Tuvalu and "major parts of Bangladesh".
He quoted a fictitious "spokesman" for the atlas as saying that in map-making, "emotional truth" was more important than actual truth.
The Maldives' acting high commissioner in London has written to the Daily Telegraph's editor seeking a clarification and apology.
He said the post had implied that his country's climate change plight was a con-trick, and this, he said, was despicable and hurtful.
However, he added that Maldivians had as strong a sense of humour as anyon
