I was watching the simpsons last night. They were in brazil and a guy calls out to homer
“hey americans”
homer says “how did you know” while he says this he turns to reveal a tshirt that has a picture of uncle sam taking a bite out of the globe with words across it that say “Try and stop us”.
Man, I was laughing for the rest of that entire episode.
That was pretty funny..I was dissapointed that there were no Gracies in this episode..heh
Yeah that t-shirt homer had on had me laughing my a$$ off!
I liked the kids t.v. hostess chick with the n!pple tassles :eek:
Simpsons is mad funny most of the times..
Should we be laughing or crying?
Hey Sharky…
Don’t put too much into it. You live in one of the few countries that us yanks still respect. I think that it’s safe to assume that the U.S. and the U.K. are the only countries left that still know how and still have the balls to kick some ass when we need to.
What about France? 
France? 
Are you talking about the currently unclaimed German province?
MightyB, what about Australia, Israel…and I don’t see a lot of folks pickin’ fights with Canadians, not even with Quebec and they speak French!
France!
Hee-hee!
I was watching the Dennis Miller show and he was doing a “comedy through the ages,” thing.
When he got to the 1940’s he starts in by saying “hey, we invaded Normandy yesterday…the French are confused because the have NO idea who to surrender to.”
Floored me for five minutes!
No one starts fights with canada because canadians are just americans in denail and everyone knows it but them.
LOL, gotta remember that.
Don’t bother, sharky, you can find the exact quote under the “American Ignorance” entry in the dictionary.
I think it obvious that Canadians and Americans are similiar. Since they both settled at generally the same time, both were british colonies, both speak english, both have a large shared border. Of course were going to be like Americans.
Actually all across central and south America everyone takes offense at the label “americans” taken to mean “of the U.S.A.” but which obviously applies to them as well. So the Simpsons writer clearly was operating without this understanding.

I loved that too, and the speedo’s and the childrens show. Aye yie yie.
the simpsons hold a certain genious for up to date satire on US culture and politics that doesn’t get old.
BTW…Canandians are french peasants who were bossed around by the Briticsh..Canadian girls are worth 2 american girls. I guess its the French influence…Canada is a lil slice of Europe in America. You can have hooker, pot, drinking at 18…
The US was once a great country. A land of freedom of open containers in cars…then we got tight asssssssed. Our puritain beginning still keep us fused up into the 21st century.

Okay, well. You certainly know you’re in trouble when you start trying to over analyze the Simpsons in relation to Manifest Destiny. :rolleyes:
“France: a currently unclaimed German province.” Now, THAT had me rolling on the floor.
Then again, any slam against France tickles my gizzard.
That was funny, but the funniest part in last night’s Simpsons was:
Bart or Lisa or someone: “Here is is, $50,000”
Brazillian 1, (opens suitcase full of money): “Look at all that pink and purple”
Brazillian 2: “Our money sure is gay!”
Hahahahahahaha, i was rolling on the floor for 10 minutes after that line.

Actually we do call you americans, and id say very very very few people would find it offensive, i dont know about the rest of south america.
It doesnt matter wich shirt youre wearing, i can detect gringos easily
I dont get the one about the money.
Really, i dont get whats so funny. You americans and your green money with some old dude on it.
We have animals from the brazilian fauna on our money, the colors makes easy for you to work with it and stuff.
Xebby has a point. I found I have to be careful when I handle US dollars and look closely at the denomination of the note. Different coloured notes makes it a little easier to identify the denomination.
