        Where women glow and men plunder?
        Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
        You better run, you better take cover"

        Buying bread from a man in Brussels
        He was six foot four and full of muscles
        I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
        He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
        And he said,

        "I come from a land down under
        Where beer does flow and men chunder
        Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (yeah)
        You better run, you better take cover" yeah

        Lying in a den in Bombay
        With a slack jaw, and not much to say
        I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
        Because I come from the land of plenty?"
        And he said,

        "Do you come from a land down under? (yeah yeah)
        Where women glow and men plunder?
        Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (yeah)
        You better run, you better take cover"

        Living in a land down under (yeah)
        Where women glow and men plunder

      • brettmurf, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I would suggest googling it, or even doing a youtube search. It is amazing how many times you can avoid looking so uninformed with such simple methods.

  • Sfenton, on 07/03/2008, -65/+21You know what sucks about England?

    Being treated like an American. I don't want to accuse all English people of acting rude or snotty toward Americans because some are very pleasant, but after seven weeks I've come to the conclusion that sometime in grade school English children are taught to equate 'stupid' with 'American.' Yes, we are arguably louder and more demanding, but that doesn't mean we're all ignorant. Interestingly enough, British radios blare American pop music, televisions broadcast American t.v. shows and the movies play American flicks. If we're so dumb, why do you cherish our popular culture? And one last thing: any country that manufactures the Spice Girls shouldn't throw stones at glass houses ...

    -anonymous
    • t4ll3y, on 07/03/2008, -11/+109You're not anonymous. We can see your user name right to the left. This is why the English think you're a ***** retard.
      • xexx, on 07/04/2008, -4/+12one would assume the wall-o-text is attributed to an anonymous person and he's just pasting it.
    • LewP, on 07/04/2008, -8/+197 weeks huh? What a vast amount of knowledge to gain about a country with a rich history that goes back hundreds of years.
    • eatasandwich, on 07/04/2008, -26/+82I'm English. I have lived in the states for nearly nine years now.
      I can no longer tie my shoelaces and not just because I've gained 200 lbs from eating giant portions of death-slop every five minutes. My IQ has dropped into the 80's and I have started to believe in weird ***** like UFOs and Jesus.
      I complain about gas prices (despite paying less than I would in every other nation in the world) but I still drive to the TV and back to avoid having to bend over and pick up my TV remote. America is the land of the free because you can say whatever you want here, and you can say it in front of whoever you please! If something offends your freedom it's a simple matter of pulling out your weapon and shooting the other free person in the face and freely killing him, freeing him from his opinions entirely and sending him to hell to meet Darwin.
      • Tag89, on 07/04/2008, -1/+9Brilliant.
      • Willforbes, on 07/04/2008, -6/+5rofl. its funny cos theyre fat
      • fLUx1337, on 07/04/2008, -2/+2God bless America!

        I have never been to the US, lived in England all my life.

        The UK and US is pretty much the same, except we ain't allowed to carry guns, and instead of wasting our money on a silly war, we give it to ever ***** asylum seeker who decides they want free money and free healthcare!! Oh and we pay about twice as much as you for basically anything.

        I don't really know much about the 4th of July for you guys, nor that it was anything to do with us until 5 mins ago, but I'm glad everything was settled years ago, you yanky bastards! Have a good day! ;)
    • blackmesa, on 07/04/2008, -5/+21"any country that manufactures the Spice Girls shouldn't throw stones at glass houses ..."

      Talk about a mixed metaphor. Think, then write.
    • digitalpencil, on 07/04/2008, -4/+27TBF, we are kind of programmed to believe that all yanks are idiots until proven otherwise but this isn't exclusive to England... most of the world operates this policy too.
    • fuse13, on 07/04/2008, -2/+6Maybe you are an idiot. I ran some metrics on your post but they were inconclusive.
      • robert001, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3You mean imperials right? They won't understand metrics
    • mllawso, on 07/04/2008, -3/+18While he could have worded and organized his post better, there's some truth to what he said. I've been to parties where I've met European students. For whatever reason, they'd assume I'm not an American and strike up a conversation about how awful the food's been, how American beer/tv/laws suck, and how their host family are idiots. 4/5 of the people I talked to did this. Eventually, they'd ask where I'm from, and the instant I told them I was from Illinois they'd give me the "Oh-You're-One-Of-Them" looks, and start asking me about gun-control and capital punishment, with a tone one would use when speaking to someone who's suffered head trauma.

      I don't blame them: all they've seen on TV and in the news are George Bush, rednecks, and so on. But that doesn't excuse the face that you're being a condescending ass to my face. I wouldn't go over to London, and start making fun of people's teeth and the food.

      Yes, there are a lot of Americans who are drunk, stupid bigots. But I'm not one of them, and neither are any of my friends. So here's my proposal: treat everyone with respect and dignity until you find out what kind of person they are. If you don't like them: walk away -- arguing with them is going to make you look like idiot too.
      • eatasandwich, on 07/04/2008, -1/+6@ mllawso

        Exactly the same thing happens in reverse and your reaction comes from the same place that the stupid comments from those English students come from. People make fun of stereotypes (see my post above). However, I'm dating an American and living in America out of choice. There's stupid people all over the planet and in reality it's those people we're making fun of on both sides of the coin.

        So if you're not stupid, don't take it personally...you fat, ignorant, cowboy-hat wearing, bible-bashing meathead.
      • kinseyincanada, on 07/04/2008, -1/+11im sorry but American beer does suck.
      • Myonosken, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2The difference being of course- gun control and capital punishment are actual issues. Our food is no worse or better than the US, probably better given it isn't all pumped full of *****, and the "teeth r bad lol!" bit has had no reality since around the time the NHS came in......60 ***** years ago.
    • Marshallo1, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4You were making a good point till you blew it at the end by contradicting yourself and judging england by only the spice girls.
    • iJessicaRabbit, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1He's a fan of McMuffin.... suddenly what he copy/pasted/wrote matters a whole lot less.
    • uglybanana, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2You elected George Bush into the position of being the most powerful man in the world.

      Yes you're a bunch of ***** retards.
  • JRhawley, on 07/03/2008, -148/+255Ahh the satire.. Damn shame that most Americans won't get it..
    • ItsMyWii, on 07/04/2008, -47/+215Ahh presumptuous assholes. Damn shame that you're a judgmental narrow minded prick.
      • blackmesa, on 07/04/2008, -6/+15That comment is sarcasm. Let's see if we can get an ironic comment too for good luck!
      • bushout, on 07/04/2008, -1/+34wait... who's doing what now?
      • MrLlama, on 07/04/2008, -19/+5[ ] He got the joke
        [x] He didn't get the joke and doesn't know what satire means
        [x] He is the judgemental narrow minded prick
      • AnalJustice, on 07/04/2008, -13/+5we don't need to conjure up any additional excuses

        the fact that he's american is more than sufficient
      • nedzeve, on 07/04/2008, -1/+8Whose side are we on?
    • Rock3tsauce, on 07/04/2008, -8/+13Wait, that wasn't serious?
    • cdigioia, on 07/04/2008, -21/+3It's the 4th of July, let's bury this British ninny*! America, ***** YEAH!!!

      *British gay-speak for dumbass
      • swicken, on 07/04/2008, -3/+8Wow, he was right, you didn't get it.
      • cdigioia, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Wow, you didn't realize "America, ***** YEAH!!!" was a joke?

        Jesus, Digg use to be so much smarter (not saying I use to be any funnier, however)
      • Myonosken, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4Ninny hasn't been used in like a hundred years.
      • textrant, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Ninny? I have never heard that word before, you bell-end.
    • richnojutsu, on 07/04/2008, -6/+1LOL.
    • Allusion219, on 07/04/2008, -3/+9At first, I was gonna digg down your comment, then I realized, I don't think half the people realized it was a joke.
    • reaperhatch, on 07/04/2008, -2/+16England just consumed our resources and told us what kind of government we ought to have.
      now what kind of country does that?
      (shows gas prices)

      brilliant!
    • CoolBluReason, on 07/04/2008, -0/+16Yeah, judging from the break comments, most of the non-americans didn't get it either. But of course, they were break comments, just a step above youtube comments.
    • mikeismyname, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4what is there not to get?
    • iamollie, on 07/04/2008, -2/+6Retarded people from around the world wont understand this, why just pick on Americans its there ***** satire for god sake thats like watching an english comedy and claiming most english people wont get it
    • zelig, on 07/04/2008, -6/+2Sarcasm. We get it, limey.

      Not only do we get it, we invented the means to bring it to you. You're welcome.
    • MelvinSchlubman, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1We get that it's lame.
  • qpingu, on 07/03/2008, -14/+7It's not like there are any parallels between today and 1776...
  • Harrison88, on 07/03/2008, -52/+229I'm English and I'm laughing because the video is ironic. Let's see how many Americans work the video out and how many say "AMERICA ***** YEAH!!"

    Yet another funny Break video.
    • fuzzmeister, on 07/03/2008, -5/+134If you've ever seen the movie which that quote came from, you'd realize even that quote is ironic.
      • NiceGuyMike, on 07/03/2008, -16/+52***** YEAH!!!!

        The problem is that a percentage of Americans (I doubt there are many on Digg) will fail to see any irony or sarcasm.
      • rodrigorules, on 07/04/2008, -10/+92and most people outside of america will fail to see that americans do see the sarcasm, the jokes on you

        bitch
      • mikhial66, on 07/04/2008, -18/+64The problem is that a percentage of the English will fail to realize how arrogant they are.

        Now, make more funny videos about how stupid the american on the street is.
    • StarofTroy, on 07/04/2008, -2/+8Let's see how many Europeans completely miss the irony in "America ***** Yea!!!," don't even bother to google it, and post a condescending comment about Americans missing irony. If ever there were too much irony in a single thread this might be it.
    • trackerbishop, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1because we're all morons right. Don't forget, Digg users aren't youtube users and most of us are saracastic antisocialite assholes

    • battletux, on 07/04/2008, -20/+88I don't know 1 english person who says that. The only people I've heard use it are americans.
      • krustie, on 07/04/2008, -11/+46"Across the pond" lol... You are mistaken as that is not an English phrase. Only ever heard it from Americans.

    • picturestorm, on 07/04/2008, -3/+40I'm english and cant believe that comment has 43 diggs. I have never heard one person say it. I think that's your stereotype on us, just like you say "Oh dang, where's me gun?"
      • cl1tcommander, on 07/04/2008, -12/+7Well, stereotypes exist for a reason. Had I been from Texas, I would've said you made an accurate inference. I happen to be from Southern California, so a more appropriate saying might be, "Dude, did you just poop a virgin? 'Cuz that ***** was TIGHT!!!" Or if I had been from Northern California, I might have said, "the practice [of capital punishment] remains hella *****' balls-to-the-wall awesome". Someone from Jersey might say, "Check out my new hair cut chief! I'm tanned and in the ZONE!!!" And so on and so forth. Brits say "Across the pond". It's a fact of life.
      • Jeremyz0r, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10People from New York tell everyone else to go ***** their selves. :)
      • bxblox, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2@Jeremyz0r: Yeah we do... whats it to ya?!
      • Akraz, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3Thats like saying canadians say "aboot". I have not once heard anyone of us say that.
    • mrASSMAN, on 07/04/2008, -7/+9I find it strange that all these English people are saying they've never heard of it.. I hear the phrase constantly from Britons (and never from Americans).. though it doesn't really bother me. He was joking anyway, calm down.
    • tk0680, on 07/04/2008, -2/+10No, we don't. American TV shows that use the British stereotype (either ignorantly or deliberately for humour value) suggest that we do. Wonder what your source is?
      • cl1tcommander, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I posted a definition. It says, "British English". Obviously it came from Britain. So you tell me Mr. "I-Don't-Say-That-So-It's-Not-A-British-Saying" ignoramus.
      • tk0680, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3I didn't say we've NEVER said it. Much like we don't say "the sky's blue it is", like the Simpsons would have you believe, today and haven't for a long time.

        Sorry to disappoint you, but we're not all butler lookalikes either.
      • cl1tcommander, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Ha, ha! You DO look like butlers! Lol! Why didn't I think of that?!
    • mrASSMAN, on 07/04/2008, -2/+11Well for one, I only became familiar with the phrase after hearing it from British internet users, British journalism, and then on British TV.. here's a comment just made recently on this clip at Break.com:

      "The Americans are finally becoming funny, it took them a while! Btw friends from across the pond, July 4th wasn't when the declaration was signed it was July 2nd."

      So.. don't blame it on American misperception..
      • cl1tcommander, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2What's funny too is that I posted a definition (albeit an internet definition) that clearly attributes the idiom as British English and I'm being dugg down for it. Clearly the British don't like "facts" or "evidence". Another example of how America is so much more kick-ass better than those poorly hygienic, crumpet- eating, bloody *****! Go eat some eel pie.
    • crusher2, on 07/04/2008, -7/+1"It's not a pond, OK It's the biggest ocean in the world. It's huge. It's bigger than anything you've ever seen in your life. And we Americans have conquered it. We sail across it, we fly across it, we rule. It's not a pond, people, it's bigger than f*cking Elvis, and we invented him too. He's still around in hiding in Wisconsin. It's bigger than all those moth*******r aliens who keep landing in the US and trying to take over the world. ( And lucky for you sniggering English b*stards the aliens land here in the US, a country strong enough to repel them.) It's not a f*cking pond, OK?! (Not that ponds don't rule or anything)"

  • ijacker, on 07/03/2008, -20/+40holy *****, did he really hit that guy?
  • mirot, on 07/04/2008, -17/+7hey! that was the not-so-attractive baywatch babe!
  • Notyavgkat, on 07/04/2008, -57/+7I hate their snobby little bloody accents, they sound so "GAY" to put it blunt
    • digitalpencil, on 07/04/2008, -1/+16* musters up his campest voice * "to put it bluntly"
    • Hangly, on 07/04/2008, -3/+5No one sounds as gay as the Taiwanese. Just so you know.
    • soupr, on 07/04/2008, -4/+11Our accents are bloody awesome, mate
      • Kelmon, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5Mate? Hmm, that could be confused as Australian and, as the Only Fools & Horses episode "Miami Twice" teaches us, Americans can't tell the difference between an Australian and British accent. Mind you, I can't tell the difference between a Canadian and American accent unless French is involved, so go figure...
      • MelvinSchlubman, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2> Americans can't tell the difference between an Australian and British accent

        Aussies avoid long vowels, or put them where they aren't. To the Brits, every "o" is a long "o" (even in words that don't have "o"'s ["august", "audience"]). Easy.
    • MrLlama, on 07/04/2008, -1/+13Suprisingly, probably about 1% of people in the UK speak the generic 'snobby' British accent.
    • atliberty2say, on 07/04/2008, -2/+6Nothing quiet like the American accent in Europe. You hear it from five streets, complaining. It's quiet a sight as everybody ignores them and tells them to ***** off. And why are they always dressed like they want to play golf for some reason? Perhaps that's it, they are complaining about the lack of lynx in central London and Paris.
    • JustFender, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4We English don't have accents, it's just what the words sound like when being pronounced correctly.
      • jamdogg, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3So you're saying everyone fom Cornwall, Hampshire, London, Birmingham, Yorkshire, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Lancaster, Cheltenham and Surrey all have the same accent?
      • JustFender, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Jimmy Carr.
  • shibyness, on 07/04/2008, -5/+95i bet that guy was alive when america gained its independence.

      • opticwind, on 07/04/2008, -0/+7The irony here is that sap is responding to brad's comment, inferring that brad was being derogatory towards gay people. But in fact, sap's way of implying brad's inferior thought process was by the same derogatory mindset.
        Example of simplified irony:
        A: "Gay people suck"
        B:"You're simple-minded...ass pirate!"
      • brad3378, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2@Sap959

        No, that spot is reserved for people that don't know the difference between "your" and "you're"

      • Hangly, on 07/04/2008, -0/+8I was gonna say, a 50-year revolution doesn't sound like much fun.
      • gak001, on 07/04/2008, -0/+14If by fun you mean nearly going bankrupt several times and considering asking to join the UK... then yes.

      • korvan504521, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2don't bother, most Canadians can't even tell you when their country started.

        Technically it was 1982 by the way. The same year that the word internet started being used for ARPANET.

        Don't get me wrong, I like Canada and Canadians. I'm up here right now. But they're no less ignorant than my fellow Americans are.
      • 5plic3r, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1cpower01 is right: it was 1814.
    • blackdeath42, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2you call all the wars, terrrorism and general death nd destruction in your country fun?

      wow i would not like to meet you in person
      • magicalstephie, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1We didn't vote for that, it was Bush. Don't judge all Americans based off of one person who is an idiot.
    • Austin7687, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Does that mean we're the college dropouts of the world? At least we had a good time.

      WOOO!
    • daveluke1, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Yeah,America is the rowdy fat kid at the party who doesn't chip in for beer, ends up puking all over the floor and grabs at a few girls, and has to apologize a million times the next day, but everyone is still reluctantly his friend.... I think we ALL have a friend like that....

      If you think of America's arrogance in that kind of analogy, I think America and the rest of the world can all just sit down and laugh off the whole Iraq thing over a couple brews....

      LOL and Happy 4th of July!
  • MyDiggIsBig, on 07/04/2008, -64/+4im sorry, but i saw a picture of George W Bush next to Jesus.

      then again....SATIRE!

  • ggpaintballer, on 07/04/2008, -20/+161At least we can all agree neither of us likes the French. Go America
    • Kelmon, on 07/04/2008, -10/+14I rather thought American was big on France, not least because they helped you to gain independence from the UK.
      • soupdawg30, on 07/04/2008, -3/+16I think France lost American respect around 50 years ago
      • Lithpiperpilot, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4It was all downhill after Napoleon
      • iamollie, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1nope it seems americans hate the french, they have often gone to the lengths of renaming french fries as freedom fries in some places
      • hauntedchippy, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9Helped by the French eh?
        Good luck living that one down.
      • Wartz, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Our opinion on France has been rather low ever since the Quasi War. Its had some upward spikes like when they gave us the statue of liberty, but other than that, its been a pretty bad relationship.
      • kukiweed, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Americans hate the French because they opposed the righteous invasion of Iraq.
      • MelvinSchlubman, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2> Helped by the French eh? Good luck living that one down.

        Their enemy was our enemy. We were just in between. Not hard to live down.
    • nurriz, on 07/04/2008, -3/+8I like the french. What general characteristic that all french possess do you not like?
      • pakke, on 07/04/2008, -2/+12The mustache. It doesn't look too good on french women.
      • jamdogg, on 07/04/2008, -5/+4That they are cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
      • JustinPM, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2I just don't get it. The "hate the French" bandwagon really kicked off because they didn't want to go to war with us. Something we don't even want to do now. But still, folks use them as a punching bag. I like the French. Who gave us one of our nation's symbols for what we stand for, the Statue of Liberty? If nothing more, give them credit for that.
      • Cyber_Akuma, on 07/05/2008, -1/+4"Hating the French" has become more of a joke than anything, its more of a running gag than actual hatred towards the French.

        The hatred for America however ir rather real with most people.
    • mickstephenson, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1I like their in your face attitude, I just wish that they wouldn't be such ***** to us. Being the 2 most hated countries in Europe we should join forces and troll the rest of Europe instead of eachother.
    • Jeremyz0r, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Didn't we *accidentally* drop bombs on the French in WWII because they got in our way?
      • mickstephenson, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Mers-el-K%C ... coincidently I posted this on another french bashing comment down the page, and we made no attempt to cover it up as an accident we gave them an ultimatum and they said ***** you.
      • bono4u, on 07/05/2008, -0/+2Vichy-France?

        @mickstephenson
        Perhaps not very cute, but effective to save the own troops from blown into pieces by forces captured by Nazi-Germany. Strategically good decision.
    • LeatherCow, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1Actually we have lost respect for France many a time in our short history as a nation. Firstly, when we found out the only reason they helped us defeat the British was so that they themselves could own us.

      History lessons aside, fuggin' French.
      • Wartz, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2That "war" where they sank/captured a thousand+ of our merchant ships without even being nice enough to declare war because they might lose probably pissed quite a few Americans off too. That was little more than 10 years after we got our independence.
  • LordoftheFly, on 07/04/2008, -4/+64I like how Pres Bush was on the wall next to Super Jesus.

      The video is confusing. At the start he talks about the British, but then he moves on to the English. They are two totally different things. So do the British suck, or is it the English that suck. I need to know, as I am British, but I am definately not English.
      • mrASSMAN, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4Well clearly you're not English, as you haven't quite mastered the language yet..

        http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
      • magicalstephie, on 07/04/2008, -0/+8dude, we're Americans. We have no idea what the difference is.
      • DanMcGuinness, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1The Scottish are best... They have the best accents, they like to deep fry a bunch of ***** just like us and they have a higher obesity rate among children than Americans do. The Welsh are just weird and English people are cool, but perceived to be slightly pretentious on the whole. And the Northern Irish aren't British despite what some of them might say.

        Anyway, as pointed out before, I don't think many Americans know (or care) the difference between British and England and so on. Actually I've met a few British people who didn't really know the difference/ were asking the difference. So oh well. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is my friend.

    • paulusmaximus, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1You wish. We won the 'Battle of Britain' over a year before the Japanese decided that it was time for you to join the party.
      • DanMcGuinness, on 07/04/2008, -1/+0Yeah, and by "won" I'm assuming you mean that you endured the Nazis bombing your ass and destroying your cities long enough that they got bored of it.

      Oh, and I feel totally free in the U.S. . Except maybe for the NSA, CIA, OPS, FBI and a few more orgs... but hey, its for OUR safety right?
      • Cyber_Akuma, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1There is a difference between freedom and anarchy.

        Yes, the government is seriously overstepping its bounds lately, but we are still a hell of a lot more free than many other places in the world. The populace is starting to get less and less tolerant of the government's crazy actions as time goes on as well.
    • ButchersBoy, on 07/04/2008, -7/+2No, we just hate you because you are all so uneducated, and I quote, "because were free". Case rested.
    • Tmac90, on 07/04/2008, -1/+6You guys are certainly not free.
      • Cyber_Akuma, on 07/05/2008, -2/+1We most certainly are.

        I can write and publish practically whatever I want, in movies, videogame, or book format. Freedom of speech. While others can protest what I do (what is ALSO freedom of speech mind you) unless what I wrote is downright illegal (leaking top-secret government information for example) they can't prevent me from doing it.

        I can leave the country whenever I want.

        I can live whenever in the country I want.

        Why exactly aren't we free?

        Because you so badly want to smoke marriuna and the jury is still out on legalizing it?

        Because you can't buy alcohol at the age of 12?

        Because there is a police force who for the most part protects people, so you basically can't have total anarchy?

        Because its some buzzwords you've on internet messageboards and social networking sites that people keep repeating making you mindlessly follow them because they clearly must be smarter than everybody else because they hate what everybody else likes?
    • DeFex, on 07/04/2008, -2/+2You dont know what the new freedom means. it is the freedom for corporations to do what they like to you with no repercussions. Freedom is blossoming in the US.

      Feel free to bury my retarded comment.

    This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
    This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
    This other Eden, demi-paradise,
    This fortress built by Nature for herself
    Against infection and the hand of war,
    This happy breed of men, this little world,
    This precious stone set in the silver sea,
    Which serves it in the office of a wall,
    Or as a moat defensive to a house,
    Against the envy of less happier lands,
    This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

        Like a clown.

  • alexcroox, on 07/04/2008, -27/+70The 4th of July is a good day to remind the americans that England are officially World Champions at Baseball. We played the American colonies (property of England) at baseball in 1770 and beat them. We havent played them since. We have an unbeaten run as baseball World Champions stretching back over 200 years that still lasts to this very day.
    Its great to be English.

    Yet another demonstration of our superiority over the Septics.

      • bono4u, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1What makes you believe the war ever ended and didn't take place with other weapons?

        A friend told me a couple of years ago of a 400year plan of the British to control the world. sry but i have no other reference, if anyone has i would want to look in, possible it was only nonsense, but since he always had really good historical knowledge this image never since left my head ^^

    • bono4u, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Beside the revolution of Jews over their Pharaoh slavery, their is no other revolution in history like the french revolution to my knowledge what was more important(or impressive to myself). The Americans might be proud of their independent war, but if i had a wish free i would have wanted that courage for my German fellows while the Nazi regime as the french had against their king and rotten Royal society 1789.

    • vibrate, on 07/04/2008, -1/+8I live in Sydney and can confirm that Australia also sucks
      • son1k, on 07/04/2008, -3/+3You're only saying that because you just lost State of Origin.

        (Edit: I'm guessing you're just a American Troll however, as you posted "I'm English, and you're a retard" in response to a Pommy post above)
      • son1k, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2Oh wow, my brain died for a while there. I didn't sleep last night, maybe I should sleep now. Anyway, ignore the above post. I'm guessing you're a Pommy living in Sydney.
      • vibrate, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2hehe yep :)
        Actually i love it here, apart from the plastic, soulless, generic nightlife.
        But i generally find any form of jingoism or national pride to be the refuge of simpletons.

        I dont follow the rugby Im afraid, but good for whoever won whatever it was :)
      • son1k, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I agree, the nightlife is terrible.

        Hehe, I think we think of national pride similarly, except I do it with tongue in cheek to play with people. For example, I'm currently living in Seoul and whenever South Korea plays another country in a sport, say soccer/football, I'll support the other team so that it's more fun when I'm watching it with my friends. Good friendly competition. Especially fun here because South Koreans have a huge sense of National Pride. Just make sure you don't rub salt into the wounds too much if they lose.
      • pingudownunder, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1I lived in Sydney for a year and agree it pretty much sucks. Melbourne, Brisbane and even Perth are far better places to live in.

  • waydee, on 07/04/2008, -8/+15Is it the English or the British that some Americans have a problem with? I can never really work it out, i'm not sure if they even know.

    I laughed at this video though, very well done. The Elton John comment made me spill my coffee though :(
    • Godlesswanderer, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5Judging by the fact that you're getting dugg down, I don't think they do.
    • kinggimped, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10They have no idea what the difference is between English and British. C'mon. Seriously.
    • webbles, on 07/04/2008, -4/+2its the english.

      we got no beef with the scots (or welsh if you want to be pedantic). its the english who think they are better than everyone else.

      its funny how its still prevalent in today's english youth. man those are some racist *****, much worse than anything ive dealt with in the southern US.
      • pingudownunder, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1"its the english who think they are better than everyone else."

        sounds like the english, french and americans are very similar in that regard!

    • helleborus, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3From these comments, I'm getting that it's a "my team is better than your team and my daddy can beat up your daddy" kind of thing. Yanks v. Red Sox or Yanks v. Red Coats - it's all the same primal urge.
      • kinggimped, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Precisely. There's more ignorance in this submission's comments thread than there is in the average YouTube video comments thread.

        And that, my fellow Diggers, is saying something.

        Sweeping stereotype statements like "its the english who think they are better than everyone else" (especially coming from a country with a penchant for bombing brown people primarily so they can steal their natural resources) don't exactly make this world the happiest place.

        Sure. We've all got bad teeth, drink tea every 4 minutes, work in coal mines, and wear period drama costumes to work, too. You Yanks have got us pegged!
