Seeded with the obligatory anti-US insults, to which the audience
smirks on-que.
Inferiority complex for sure.
We have a local equivalent, anti-California insults. Same cause.

The above is one of the worst.
JL makes only fair comments on it.

Smug pommies are such an ungrateful bunch of shits.

I listened to that over the weekend - there was quite a bit of
interesting stuff in it, and a lot of detail that was unknown to me.

It had /one/ joke about things made in Texas. It was clearly and
obviously an exaggerated and over-the-top joke to add a bit of lightness
to the talk. You\'d have to be seriously over-sensitive or completely
humourless to view it as an insult.

Inferiority complex for sure.

Those comments reveal quite a lot about you.

Indeed they do!

It\'s telling that Germans and Japanese, who we bombed to rubble, seem
to like the USA and our cowboys. But the Brits, who we saved, enjoy
mocking us.

What it shows is that you have an expectation that the USA will be
mocked - it suggests that deep down, you think the USA deserves it. I\'m
not sure how else anyone could interpret that video as mocking the USA.

It also shows that you don\'t understand British culture or how Brits
communicate. Most Brits are not xenophobic or prejudiced - they will
mock anyone, including themselves, equally.

You really take yourself far too seriously. Lighten up a bit.
