The 8 most terrible things about Americans

The website I chose describes the '8 most terrible things about Americans'. Written by an English blogger this article is obviously written by someone who doesn't like American ways of life. The first fact they focus on is that America is known as a fat nation and they 'eat burgers the size of American cars'.  Personally I think its ridiculous to have a view this limited on American people. I can understand due to shows such as the Simpsons or man vs food, that some people would have this negative stereotype of America but you only have to see a picture or watch a film on new York or California to see that its not the case.

Rolling on from this the blogger then goes on to say that they use 'meaningless words to express political views rather than sensible terms'. I found this title particularly interesting as I believe that when Americans use words and phrases such as hope and freedom it portrays a positive image of the country, an image that no other country has, one that invites people to follow their dreams and believe in themselves no matter what background they came from. He makes note of the fact that America is independent and that they celebrate this day with great pride, this is a good thing in my opinion as its patriotic, however this blogger refers to the USA as being 'disowned' by UK in 1783. This is interesting as he is suggesting that the UK is more powerful and that it was the UK's choice to disown America not the other way round. The blogger also refers to the American flag and how it has 'copied' the colours of the UK flag, again referring to the fact that he thinks England are more superior to America and its people.

American sport is mentioned within the article and a youtube clip entitled 'boring baseball' has been put in. He says that 'American sports are invented to prevent Americans from having to compete with other nations'. Finally the blogger ends on how the USA is similar to the french, another country he must hate. He claims that American and french people are 'two of a kind. They independently invent similar food (French Fries) and neither have a monarchy.

It is safe to say that this man really doesn't like America.
