Google changes nationality of villagers

April 29th, 2007

Ah, the all seeing eye, the font of all knowledge that we know as Google. Well, they’ve fluffed up this time. Despite having their village named after a Chilean independence hero Bernardo O’Higgins, the inhabitants of Villa O’Higgins are Argentinean according to the great Google. Needless to say Chile are hoping the guys at the plex will re-draw their maps and put the villagers back where they belong.

So the next time you use Google to find the nearest liquor store that sells the finest Chilean Merlot, don’t be surprised if you get the details of the closest Argentinean beef importer. Cheers Google.
