I can't seem to get over this report from Nelson Mandela's meeting with Charlize Theron:
"She has put South Africa on the map," he told reporters. "Even those who were ignorant of South Africa, having seen her, they must know now that there is a country like South Africa."
You know, I'm a fan and all, but, well, let me just repeat that: Nelson Mandela... said Charlize Theron... has put South Africa on the map.

I had the same reaction: disbelief!

I'm curious to know how he thinks that people who hadn't heard of South Africa will know where she's from.
