    It's in France, so it doesn't matter how many there are!

    I, for one, welcome our retarded American overlords.

    I saw this video before. On the website, people were using this video to prove that Americans are stupid. One thing I would like to do is ask them what they know about the US of A and see how knowledgeable they are about the country they love to hate.

    I know that Talahassee is the capital of Florida State and Sacramento of California. (Without Googling) But someone who doesn't know where Kentucky Fried Chicken originates? I would like to know whether they asked at random people or if they were handpicked. I mean the bum who wanted to attack Brazil for being a member of the Axis of Evil was very sure of it.
    Wasn't there already a thread about this highly flamable topic?
    And isn't Venezuela off limits nowadays for Yanquis?
