I think it's hilarious.

Laughing is always the best medicine. Even if it's at yourself.

As an American, I think that's it's fine to poke fun at ourselves. I just don't understand the hatred that seems to be coming across from some FG members that I thought were my friends.

Kathy Ellen, as an American myself, I understand what you're saying. Sadly, it isn't just here that we get slammed for living where we do. A lot of people who don't live in America think that all of us are war-hungry, money-greedy a-holes. What can you do? On one of the threads here someone called me "an all knowing American." I replied by saying that my nationality had absolutely nothing to do with the stupid topic we were discussing. Oh well. Although some of the anti-American jokes are funny, true hatred of any race is not.

Thanks Laneybug,

I've been told that I'm too sensitive ,and I know that. I just wouldn't be critical of anyone's country. I'm going to work on developing a hard shell and take things lightly. I'm sorry that you were called an "all knowing American."

Red---------I think it's funny and I'm American, what's more, like it or not, that is the way that much of the world sees us. When we loose the ability to laugh at ourselvelves and our little differences, we got a real problem. Even our esteemed Commander In Chief laughs at his little verbal screw ups.

What, those three images up there? Bwuh-huh! I think they're funny as bloody hell, and I'm an American. Does anyone else have any more of these? Please post them so the rest of us can have a good laugh too. That's what's so great about irony and sarcasm...it makes people look at themselves. That's why I get most of my news from The Jon Stewart TV show. At least he's honest about what's going on in the world.

I found it funny. Bad boo boo.

What most people here have forgotten is that.......it is.....ahem..........A JOKE.

If you have lost your sense of humor then you have bigger problems than those three pictures.

Maybe I should post up some Aunt Jemima and Little Black Sambo cartoons, eh? After all, it's A JOKE and if you can't see that then you've lost your sense of humor and have bigger problems than those pictures.

I think it's totally fine to be offended at this kind of stereotypical crap.
