This makes me want to cry

I … I don’t know what to say. I really don’t. I am floored.

Edit: I KNOW! This is a picture of Zero and I about 10 months ago when we saw Freezepop play before the Minibosses. That’s EXACTLY my reaction right now.

Hmmm its not quite as good as I remembered it.

Did freezepop confuse you that much? Hahah.

It was a fucking horrifying experience. The highlight of the show was when the girl lost her skirt on the stage.

Not down with the synthpop eh?

To think that one idiot’s comment represents the views of an entire country is an egregious error. It’s obvious that the people of Hungary all need to read up on logic, and don’t understand much about the world. No insult intended.

What does Holland have to do with this? o.o

>:(

What?

I thought I edited it, but it must have been so early in the morning that it didn’t. There. Now it makes sense. Sorry, TD.

TD is from Holland.

And I think Ziegfried proves that the rest of the world is stupid for thinking anybody in America watches beauty pageants.

It is more and more fashionable for non-Jesusland citizens to laugh at stupid (and fat) Americans - that’s what you get for living in a unipolar world - yet the American institutions of higher learning are amongst the most respected and admired organizations, and have become a magnet for people throughout the world.

Oh Canada? Michael Moore had a somewhat similar concept in his only fiction film -

“Surrender pronto, or we’ll level Toronto!”

My favorite flick, btw.

Damn, never thought I’d want to see a Moore movie.

Sorc, I prove that :stuck_out_tongue:

While some people are that ignorant, I’m pretty sure these shows ask the people they find on the street the same twenty or so questions and only air the hilariously wrong answers. Such as North Korea being where Australia was supposed to be on that map XD.

no need to be sorry :slight_smile:

Let’s put this in context. These are the dumbest Americans around, and we’re only hearing each one’s dumbest answers.

Even so, their reasoning was mostly valid, based on what they knew. “I know there’s friction between the U.S. and France – so maybe France would be a target.” If <i>all</i> you knew about world politics was that the U.S. and France had come into conflict over some issues in recent years, France would be the most reasonable guess for our next military campaign. So some Americans are poorly educated.

Now, some decently educated Europeans (and Canadians) like to read American news stories, watch American television and American movies, and chuckle condescendingly at our LCD. The dregs of our popular culture. Why don’t Americans do the same back? Why don’t we watch working-class, continental Europeans bumbling around in primitive and irrational ways?

<i>We’re not interested.</i> Sure, continental Europe’s high culture is incredibly important to us. But continental Europe’s popular culture? What I encounter is mostly just imitation of U.S. and U.K. pop culture, only five to ten years late. Likewise, American movies are popular worldwide, while continental European movies are mostly confined to, well, the continent.

So what I’m getting at is, if average Europeans are so sophisticated and insightful, why don’t they <i>do</i> anything to interest the rest of the world? “Most Americans” are “narrow-minded and don’t know much,” yes? You ought to show us your more intellectual peasantry.

If people have tunnel vision, it’s only because nationalism builds the tunnel so that we may ignore those outside of it and walk unerringly and blindly towards a rapidly approaching light.

Yeah, but what if the rapidly-approaching light is an oncoming train?

Xwing is right on the money - it’s impossible for the outsiders to break the American pop culture shield, and that shield, merged with the military and economic armor, covers most of the globe now. There are a few exceptions though, like that electric mouse. Pika…pika? But then, its creators don’t laugh at stupid Americans [STRIKE]Romans[/STRIKE], at least not as hard as the snobbish Europeans [STRIKE]Graeculi[/STRIKE] (or Canadians [STRIKE]Carthagians[/STRIKE]).

Oh and I would like to adjust the assertion made in my previous post –

Rig, some nasty critics blasted Bacon when it was released, it was even postulated that Moore had to abandon the fiction genre and reorient his career strictly into documentaries because of that film.
I guess that to fully appreciate this misunderstood masterpiece you have to be a Canadian, or empty the case of Molson while watching the film.
Mind you, a bottle (or two) of ouzo might do the trick :wink:

The irony is that only 1/5 of US Americans can locate the Republic of Such As, like, on a map.
