bad-infographicIf you’re still looking for your own entry into Infosthetic’s Ugly Infographic competition, then Newsweek has come to your rescue with their latest collection of infographics showing how the US and China view each other.  There’s a bit of useful information in there, but good luck finding it.

I’ve already submitted #4 as my entry to the contest (shown above). I really don’t have any idea what it’s trying to tell me.  Six circles, each one represents a percentage of something in a country.  The caption provided is “A majority of Americans say Japan is an innovative country, not so China and India”.  No legend.  So a few possibilities:

  • Is that the percentage of people who say Japan is innovative in each country?
  • Is that the percentage of Americans who agree that is an innovative country?
  • ??

Submit your own funny captions in the comments.
