The British make better bad guys in Hollywood films.

Actually it's surprising how many American shows have a British lead. House, Stargate Universe, Lie to Me, and I guess now Torchwood.


The Walking Dead does as well.

Ha with what may be the worst southern accent I've ever heard.

That guy from Heroes had the worst British accent I've ever heard. I had to fast forward his scenes.

let me check my handy map

I don't exactly know where you are in my map, but I've been in britain and remember seeing green grass and yellow grass, so I view your kind as either pussies or kangaroos.


Haha. That was pretty funny. Though if I made the map I would have put this in Mexico: "They took are jerbs!"

Well on a more positive note....

We gave the world some of the best musicians and song writers of all time. For our population nobody gets near.
We gave the world some of the best authors, poets and playwrites of all time. For our population nobody gets near.
We invented the worlds most played and watched sport.
We are responsible for countless discoveries, important innovations and important inventions.

Lets not mention the empire or go near WW1 and WW2... never goes well.








Exactly.  That's why stereotypes are so prominent, and often insulting, for yours or any great nation... envy.  Don't be insulted, be flattered.

Hate Brits, always did. We call them "melkobrytty", which roughly translates "small Brits" (opposite to "Great Britain", since... you know, it's not that great anymore). They like very small but immensely loud barking dog, attached to huge armored vehicle with "U.S.A" letters written on it's side, though the dog behaves like it is the vehicle attached to it. On second thought I don't really hate them, I hate Jews, since half of my relatives are Jewish it's really easy for me to hate them. But still don't like Brits. Though the only couple of British I happen to know personally are actually decent people, still don't like them. But I adore that Poirot TV series with David Suchet (who's British AND Jewish = evil). All in all, it's complicated.

Lol.  Am I the only one who read this using a very ominous and melodramatic Russian accent?
