IKEA? Need a geography lesson?

IKEA seems to have some trouble producing a map of the US. Look at this image from this page on their website.IKEA MAP MIKE VOLPE
Pretty weird. It sort of resembles the US, but Maine looks like it is stretched way out, and Florida has a funny shape as well. You wouldn't think it would be too hard to find a reasonable image of the US for a website, there are thousands of them out there. I guess we should cut them a break. I bet most Americans can't even find Sweden on a map.
