I'm American, and got a laugh out of this because it's so true. I would only change Canada and Mexico though. For Canada, I'd say, "Prescription drugs for sale!" And for Mexico, I'd say, "Illegal drugs for sale!" I don't think the Europe quote was very fair.

Got a good chuckle. I'd also add Mexico to the "prescription drugs for sale," sans the prescription part.

Lame stupid reverse nationalist crap. I hate people who bash America as much as anyone who who loves America. It's nothing new or insightful, let alone funny.

no.. there's a LOT of this kind of stuff around, and some of it is truly funny and inspired (from all sides)

as an American, actually I tend to think a lot of the American stereotypes are pretty much spot on (especially for say.. your average Republican primary voter or their urban union Dem northern white trash cousins)

I don't have time right now to find the good stuff, but will try to find and post it tomorrow.

p.s. here you go.. found some of it.

this stuff is funny!

I lol'd at Australia way off to the side with just "kangaroos." They don't even get acknowledged for some kind of foreign policy role or major export, just some random animal.

Zoom in on North Korea... "Dr. Evil"

That made me laugh out loud at work.
