Target of the week. I like that.
A good example of 'Nation bashing' is the huge American animosity towards France after they refused to support our incursion into Iraq in 2003. This is where all the "Cheese-eating surrender monkey" jokes and insults started. It's interesting that there aren't that many jokes about Germany in this regard, and virtually none at all aimed at Canada or New Zealand, who also opposed the invasion.
