Does that Honda commercial bother anyone else?

I wouldn't identify myself as a history buff by any stretch, but the Honda commercial that says that 'New England is surrounded in history' really gets to me. Yes it's true, we have history flowing out our asses. But Christopher Columbus NEVER STEPPED FOOT ON AMERICAN SOIL. Am I the only one who notices this stupidity? Columbus landed on Haiti and the DR. He never touched the US of A, let alone New England. Shit like that irks me. Idiots.
