krashkart's What Makes America Suck?

krashkart · 02-25-10, 04:34 AM

I've tried in the past on various forums to strike up conversation about America. That is, America from the outside looking in. Had some success with it, even learned where to get cheap diesel... now if only I lived in Europe that would come in handy.

So, I have some time to burn at the moment. I am waiting for a fresh install of SH3 to complete, and I figured that I should try opening a new discussion.

And now comes the great question:

World, what makes America suck?

If nothing else, humor me. I want to know where all the cheap diesel is.

OK for the humor, (sic), spelling is one of the things that makes America suck.

It is spelled H-U-M-O-U-R!!!! Same as color is spelled C-O-L-O-U-R!!!

Get it right then you can join the civilised world.

BTW note the spelling of civilised! There is no zed (not zee), in it, never was, never will be. (Except in America).

America sucks because we are too awesome for the rest of the world except for maybe the Assies who unfortunately keep acting more and more like the Pommies they are descended from.

*scratches neck*

We kinda lost our minds after the uh, you know, the little tea rebellion. It's been said that English tea of the day took on psychotropic properties when exposed to the waters of Boston Harbor. Maybe some of our ancestors, you know, ingested some of that water by accident and... *sigh* well the rest is history.

But look on the bright side: Those thirteen colonies grew to fifty states, and they brought you greasy fast food and infomercials. That's gotta count for something, right?

*tries to pull off a convincing smile, doesn't quite get it right*

*facepalm*

Where's a press secretary when you need one.

Personal Notes:

It seems that some of them have an unusual manner of spelling common words. This may be of great importance. I must report this find immediately to Chief Linguist Quayle.

Additionally, I must learn more of this 'football' the Schroeder fellow speaks of. It is apparent that football as we know it has sprouted anew in other countries. From brief research it would appear that their football is an evolution of our own. Perhaps our majestic influence is beginning to take hold. The Devil's Advocate General will be most pleased to investigate this matter. Now we just need to get them all hooked on Schlitz.

Our patriot brother August has arrived. Perhaps he brought a press secretary with him.

*looks up*

Hey! Stop peeking at my notes!
