Posted it it because most of it's funny and quite a bit of it's true.

I like that...its funny.

As far as the last one, Subtle humor is easy to follow. It's that damned closed-captioning I have to use that turns me off!

After reading that...I get the funny feeling it was written by an Aussie.

That was pretty funny....

I thopught it was written by a canadian...but that are stereotypes that at least are known aren't they.

omg i love it


"Americans: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas, & liquor in a backwards country.

If that's true, then I question his judgment in actually listing Yahoo Serious.

I seriouesly questioned the first part about being American.

I don't know w single American that would want to be considered Candian while traveling abroad.

I can see the reasons for it....but I can't see someone actually doing it.

I know that's what I do when I travel abroad. Then, I have to spend five minutes explaining that I don't live in an igloo and keep a grizzly tied to the tree out front. That's when the glamour of being considered Canadian begins to come back to bite me.

True that was kind of stupid but made me think a canadian wrote it.....the real problem with that is though that Americans don't travel abroad

why should we?

we have 500 channels of television.

this is true

how many of those channels are worth watching?
probably about 20

Nah...almost everyone of them is "worth" watching.


I just choose to stick to about 20 of them. HDTV nature shows are awesome!!!

and i bet u dont get to see any british programmes
there are loads of great programs that never get shown over in america

Discover HD (channel 76 on DirecTv) is one of my favorites, too.

I watch the BBC sometimes....they have better coverage of Iraq than America because we just get the biased crap.

The only real European television I watch regularly is Premiership Football....oh and I guess you could consider the Ali G show....even though I'm sure 90% of American's think he's from the US.

u like premiership football?

Hell yah....what we play over here isn't football...it's soccer. (Amature Footie)

So I don't think there is a problem with the difference in the name considering the skill levels involved.

I just don't follow any specific team because none can be considered a "home team" for me.

did Chelsea play yesterday or the day before?

If only the first were true- but Brits get mistaken for Australians all the time, same as the other way around- seems Americans have difficulty with the difference there.

American's stereotype Candians to the point where if you aren't say "eh" after ever phrase...then you're obviously not Canadian.

Yah I saw when the scored on the corner kick...that was pretty much all the game I got to see before studying for a test.

Europeans and South Americans do with their feet what basketball players do with their hands...

yeah....hows freddy adu doing?
is he still doin great?

Honestly....I don't know.

I'm waiting for him to turn 18 and jump ship to Europe before I start following him.

i didnt think american tv showed english football
so do u get to see the champions league too?

I get Fox Sports World and they do nothing but cover Aussie rules football and European/South American football games.

It's practically 24/7 football around the world.

cool
what teams do u enjoy watchin?

Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea, and Newcastle

What aboot German Teams?

bloody german teams!?!

fifa is crap
pro evolution soccer is the best game
or the even better winning eleven 8 , which is the japanese version

I hate Fifa EA is the Devil......yes Kahn is a pretty decent keeper.

I keep hearing all this hype about Pro Evo Soccer...I'm getting it next year, so this better not disappoint....because isn't next year a World Cup year?

pro evo soccer has the best gameplay by far...it is very realistic..fifa just looks cool but the gameplay is crap

world cup is in 2006 yes

I find the gameplay in Fifa to be pretty realistic...I really gotta try out Pro Evo.

Well and where is that world cup 2006?

I don't understand that either. I'm an American but, to ME at least, Aussies and Brits have very different accents. I mean, their kind of the same, but different. That's the best way I can describe it. But, explain this to me. Aussies can notice the difference between a person from Australia and New Zealand. I cannot.

Yeah, we can.

Its probably because you are French at heart

nah only the yanks are ignorant enough to believe in that so the fact that you mention and igloo to explain Canadian gives you away as a yank

hysterical
i love it!
my favourite has got to be

"Australians: Drink anything with alcohol in it."

droolio so true!

Canadians blame thier own governmnet on everything that going wrong even though the governmnet can't do anything about it.

HILARIOUS! it was obviously written by an australian OR american... most likely australian though

New Zealanders: Dislike being mistaken for Australians! furious

No people, New Zealand is not a part of Australia, we don't sound like them, and we don't have kangaroos or kaulas!!!!!!!!

I can't stress that enough!

Americans' know nothing about New Zealand.

Yeah I'm with you Cat, they don't know much about us either. They think Steve Irwin is cool, when every Aussie on the damn planet hates him.

All of it is so bloody true, except we only pay tax for 2 channels, we get ITV and Channel4 for free!!! Wooo, its great 'cos i can imagine a lot of americans getting really pissy over it...

Not me though im british, Hail Sweeden...... where did tahat come from...

Tell me about it!

On a TV show they were talking about Kaulas in New Zealand. We don't HAVE Kaulas or Kangaroos in New Zealand!

Looks like Americans should do their research

Yeah, no shit

Why do you guys care about what Americans think about your country or our knowledge of your country's fauna? It really shouldn't make a difference.

I realize that their two entirely different countries and what not. But, I just can't tell the difference between the accents. I feel kind of bad about that two just because I'm one of those few Americans who actually hates it when people confuse things like that.

Oh, and trust me. NO ONE thinks that Steve Irwin is cool. At least not where I'm from.

Yeah, Irwin's a douche. He's the kind of guy where if he gets mauled by a bear or mutilated by an alligator, you have to think he had it coming.

Heheh. Yes, I must admit as an Australian I cringe when I hear people from overseas compare Irwin and the rest of Australia. (I still remember him before he made it big appearing on Agro's cartoon connection and being bitten by a snake. Classic, but not fatal) Still, it's nice to see Australians making it big in international entertainment...

lol that was pretty funny.
