That other video is pretty damning for those people that participated, gutted to be them.

Here's a couple of video responses using the same kind of journalism. Instead of targeting America these videos target England and Germany. Just examples of how easy it is to make an entire population look dumb by interviewing lots of people then editing the footage down to a few interviews to make it look like everyone you interviewed was dumb.

These Australian comedians can make fun of dumb Americans all they want it's not hard, there's way more than a few of them out there. I'm sure most people would say Australians are smarter than Americans anyway. Let's compare the inventions of each country just to make sure.

Famous American Inventions

air conditioner

Luckily, English pride isnt based on what Johhny Forgeiner thinks.

Anywhere, deep down, people dont mind the English.....

OK Sir Niall you can defend a video that makes Americans look like total retards, but as soon as I make a joke about what another country has invented you cry like a little baby. Fuck you and your biased ass opinion.

I've never actually come across a US guy who would say that, but I've heard that there are people like you out there!

You misunderstood what I saw saying, and bizarrely posted something super defensive, in an attempt to 'prove' that your country is better than Australia. Really?? Are you five years old?

I'm sorry if I offended you with that clip, I think it's obvious how a clip like that works, don't insult our intelligence by explaining it to us.

Yer all second rate Scots anyway. Gie it a rest....

It was a fucking joke, lighten up assholes. It was in no way an attempt to say America is better than Australia. I find it really funny how people can say anything they want about America and it's considered a joke. But when an American cracks a little joke about another country they're labeled as arrogant.

^ chill out dude. esp with the 4 letter words. come on man.

Cired, alright am i the one who bothered posted an entire thread about a completely random video on youtube which offended my inner core so much that i had to bother going on wikipedia to find the entire list of American vs. Australian inventors? Which you still got wrong, but eh a reserved apparently intelligent soul such as you has little need for facts eh?

Enjoy being American, your clearly creating a good non-aggressive and completely not arrogant image of Americans and of course not forwarding the steorotype that yanks cant take a joke or understand subtle humours such as sarcasism? Even when hinted by a visual stimulas ( hint > ) Im glad you've completely proven this video wrong, well done.

I need to go cry here, 'cos things on the internet bother me that much that i obsess over them on my free time...wait...that sounds familiar?

Oh say can you see....

Oh that crazy American humour.

The rule is: say what you like about anything but don't throw insults at other members.

This is a forum for discussing stuff. It's boring if everyone agrees about everything but it's also boring if people are just attacking each other. The answer, I believe, is to discuss subjects, not other members. If someone states an opinion that you don't agree with, post your opinion. The reply should be along the lines of "I think you are wrong about this because..." not "if you think that then you must be a complete twat". If the only response you can come up with is along the lines of the latter then don't bother posting it.

The theory is that by posting a point of view a person is offering that opinion to be knocked down. They are not offering themselves to be knocked down. They may even be playing "devil's advocate" to make a point.

Nice attempt to connect two completely unrelated posts, and I wasn't trying to be funny. Keep crying though I'm rather enjoying it. Oh, did I offend your "inner core"?

Perhaps a little humor to lighten the mood?

Not all mate, i only have my inner core rocked by youtube, that offends me so much i have to post rambling threads on forums. I wish i was American though, then i wouldnt get offended at such things and definatly wouldnt start a post titled Arrogent, Stupid, Fat Americans and continue to come across as Arrogant and Stupid in regards to the opinions other that have posted in response and to the fact I was accussing someone of crying in a thread which I started with the intention of bitching and complaining ( or crying ) about a video made on youtube, because i would understand the nature of irony. Which as a common Englishmen i just cant get my head around. However i'm also aware that if i was to do this i would only of made two out of the three descriptions in the title but eh.....

Dont be sad, 'cos two out of three anit bad...

Time for a sing a long......in a completely non-ironic and completely not Arrogant Fat or Stupid way....oh to be an American i guess.

EDIT : Consider the mood lightened.
