it was cute when it was me and i was about 11 trying to play along with the africa map on where in the world is carmen sandiego but not now.
Iirc that show was created because like a quarter of US Americans couldn't identify the Pacific Ocean on the map
MAGA kids didn't watch a show with an obvious Hispanic illegal alien sneaking into countries all over the world.
WELL WHY'D THEY PUT IT ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE
