Oh, Britania.
Okay, does this really bear explaining?

So some English punk posts about how inferior Americans are and doesn't even have the drive to be funny about it.

But ofcourse, someone finds it funny and feels that it has to be shared with the world, forgetting that Americans are part of said world.

And it is on! People are, ofcourse, unimpressed by failed sense of humor and not even thinly veiled condescension.

Americans blatantly prove him wrong by going on about Mets, Yankees and the scientific definition of a Californian rather than giving him the attention he craves.

Apiphile quirks on the real reason behind teh hatredz.

But let this be a lesson to this new crowd of so called 'anglophiles' who think the U.K. is a bunch of lovely victorian like people sitting around eating krumpets and drinking tea.

(outside of MQ, a reply to his journal- if this is not allowed, please let me know and I will remove it immediately)Speaking of Anglophiles, cue obligatory "ooh mr brittish man, its true, its true! Were all just like that! Oh please excuse us, mr brittish man, were the enlightened americans who see the error of our people's ways! please take pity on us and take us to your land of tea and krumpets and that weird sport with that black and white ball and spice girls!!111'


For all he talks about Americans, he's pretty big on the stereotyping- Not only on the American stereotypes, but English too with this 'yankee' buisness. In growing up in London, I've heard many ways to refer to Americans; 'Americans', 'People from America', 'those people' and 'Yeah, Good Ol' We'll Wait Until The Last Minute To Join The War When London Has Already Been Leveled And Blitzed Half Way To Hell'.. Maybe it's used in places like Manchester which are decidedly bitter because they spent most of the nineties getting their asses handed to them by Liverpool-*shotshotshot* but I never heard the term Yankee being used for an American by an English person in modern times outside of television or American-written books.

And on the "Disproportionate Levels of Enthusiasm" Uh.. Is he for real? I mean, really? Come on, now. Has this man ever been near a pub? Think Englishman Drinking Prowess + Subconscious awareness that nearby police aren't really armed.

Wanky but small. Just like the English. OH. I JUST WENT THERE. IF YOU'RE OFFENDED YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND MY SENSE OF SARCASM AND YOU'RE A YANK. HAH HAH.


Oh, English wank. Perfect timing after a lot of Dr. Who and Eddie Izzard icons.

EDIT:After repeatedly eating my foot in the comments below, I'd like to go on to make a big apology that I let my own wankiness get in the way of the funnez and that this post came off as bad as it did. I was hasty and to say this was unbiased would be an obvious lie- No, I am not American, but living here I was quick to get my underwear in a knot. In my own self righteous indignity, I forgot that the intrenets iz not serious buisness. Please accept my apologies and crumpets with a K. I'd also offer you my left foot, but I already promised it away to someone else.)
