Uhh, then maybe you need to get around some more. There are equally bad, if not worse, people in every country. His nationalistic snobbery wouldn't carry too far if you taped some of the lower English classes. The only difference is that their accent sounds better.

IMO.. the poor British Cockney accent is worse than the poor American 'redneck' accent..

But, this show 'throws the first punch.' Ya, the guys getting chased out was maybe an overreaction.. But something tells me if you drove through London with a car that said 'The Queen is a whore.' or 'Clean your teeth!', you'd get chased out too.

 

[Dark4ng3l]

Bah if they were in real danger they would have just ditched the car that would not start anyways.

 

[everman]

It was a setup. "The Boys", oh so conveniently fit the stereotype with the big dog in the back just happen to be close by yet fail at giving chase (they drive right by them?).

I beg to differ, not many people care about the queen here! its only the old folk! And as for the clean your teeth lol, i think people would just take that as a joke, i wouldnt even clock on that it was a pisstake of english people!

I don't know why some people need to make it sound like certain behaviors are identical in all areas of the country. Let's face it, certain places are known for certain things for a reason.

If they had gone to a small town in Georgia that was predominantly Black, then I bet that the folks would just laugh or ignore them, you wouldn't see anyone throwing rocks at anyone or have a pickup full of folks arrive to cause trouble.

Wow, that was frightening. It's scary how tolerant middle America is...

Or how just plain stupid the English are. The lady at the gas station asks "Are you waiting around here long enough to get beat up?" Yup, thats exactly what they were doing.
lets see, we are going to be guests in a foreign land, lets get out our check list
1) Snooty elitist English, check
2) Paint slogans to intentionally piss people off, check
3) Act like complete asshats and linger to provoke situation, check
4) Pretend you dont know why these people could be so mad with you and call them ignorant, check

Lets try this, get a car and roll into one of the seedier parts of England with "the queen is a harlot " and a slogan saying "soccer is for inbreeding arseholes" and then find out who the local team is and write your team sucks on the hood. Then lets see what happens.

We did well to kick the English out of our country, Alabama was just upholding this long standing tradition.

I saw this thing on TV during the world cup where they painted an England flag on a car and parked it in the middle of Edinburgh with a camera on it. It took about an hour for it to be completely totaled by bricks and bats and such.

 

[clickynext]
