Wow, how lame. Aussies and Brits shouldn't try to offend Americans, they just embarrass themselves (where the hell are these guys from). "Country and Western is Rubbish?

Oh dear, I want to shoot them myself.

Haha, the lady called them out! And who tries to put diesel into their car?

**Big King Sanctaphrax** · 02-13-2007, 01:36

I thought that was quite endearing, actually.

It's a prime time show, so they couldn't write 'Country and Western is ****'.

Ah America, the most democratic and free country in the world

**Sasaki Kojiro** · 02-13-2007, 08:30

haha, that was awesome.

I thought the slogans were brain-dead. If they really wanted to get one another shot I am sure they could have done better.

They should try this out in Britton. I know they aren't much into interaction with strangers but I am sure there is a place or two in London where you might get dragged from your car and beaten for some inane slogan painted on your car.

Has it ever been a difficult task to find the violent streak in the human race?

I'll wait until this airs on aussie tv (we're half a series behind) but thanks for the tip

Racist slogans might do it in the UK...

But "Drum'n'bass is rubbish", or "Cameron for PM", or "Man Love Rules" isn't going to get it done.

Irony meters turned up too high.

Or in Ireland for that matter. Wouldn't dare fly St. George's cross over there. I had an argument with my ol' dad after watching that. He thinks this kind of behaviour is the reserve of interior Americans. I just think all rural folk are backwards and prone to bigotted outbursts.

Nope, it's just Americans. It's a proven fact that Europeans are superior to Americans in every way. And it's not just rural small-town folk, that could have been Senators Hatch, Cornyn and McCain rolling up in the back of that truck (the pitbull was a nice touch).

I get the joke, but frankly, if this is what you guys do for yourselves for entertainment, you've got issues. Go ahead and mastrubate yourselves silly about how base and ignorant Americans are and how superior you all are. Last I checked, we haven't burned down a discotech with 300 immigrants inside (how's the Gothenberg police coming with that investegation, anyway?) We don't paint swaztikas all over Jewish cemetaries either, but I guess that's high-brow racism, cause it happens in France.

**Sir Moody** · 02-13-2007, 15:23

Don... its a BBC program ie UK not France or Germany hell half of the UK seem to want us out of Europe entirely so take that rant to another thread...

I know that it's just a rant, but I'm quite certain that the Gothenburg fire has been coming up before (big deja vú).

So I can inform you that the 4 Iranian youths that was the arsonists has been convicted, either in 1999 or 2000.

And it was almost 400 people in there, were 63 of them died

. That the arrangers did cram in about twice as much people than allowed and blocked emergency exits didn't exactly help to keep the numbers down.

I'm curious though, did the US media push it quite big as a racist deed and then did mention the rest in this size if at all?

Do you remember why you know about the Gothenburg fire and remember anything about it DC?
