Bow down.
First time wanker, long time snarky bitchy female commenter.

What started out as an innocent photoshop thread for the latest "Harry Potter" cover, soon descended into the depths of thinly veiled antisemitism and endless arguments as to the correct spelling of "defense," "criticize" and "rationalization" which really was just about Stupid American vs. Snobby British.

Americans think these words are misspelled. However the poms did come up witht he actual language. So I would say that the pommy spelling of the words is correct (and subsequently you yanks are wrong :)

Which is responded in turn with:

*sigh* people, dialects happen, and languages branch. They're both correct. This is a silly debate.

Then there's the wank on the cover itself, when guy points out:

My reasoning for this is a bit silly: American shoppers don't read the titles, they just go for the pictures, so putting Harry on makes it totally obvious (I'll bet heaps don't even know the title of the next book, just that it's got Harry Potter on it). While the rest of the world is more civilised and actually reads titles (Yeah ok I'm being cheeky :)).

Those damn smilies look double-chinned, fucking heathen.

America won't take such a jibe laying on our fat asses! We must respond in turn with the all inclusive:

Yes. You're right. Americans are stupid.
Which is proven by the fact that we harnessed electricity, pioneered modern mass-production, invented the microchip, then personal computers, and ultimately facilitated the development of the Internet, all so foreigners could log on and tell us how stupid we are.

Oh my!

There's even more I could point out, such as this:

I think it's because pix like that (british cover) remind some Americans (especially certain ones with tatooed numbers on their arms) of images like this...

Whomever could you mean? Oh! Jews? Goddamn, we so ROCK.

Just go, boggle.

Meanwhile I have to get back to controlling the media...
