Re: Geography fail! I'm an american, and you all know my political views. And I just think that map is a joke.... I think there are americans and euros alike who have idiotic ideas about how the others are and live, but that's not the norm. I do think there are both americans on here who don't understand europe, and europeans on here who don't understand America. Live with it. |
Re: Geography fail! Funny how you people can always turn discussions (or funny images) into US vs EU.. or something similar. I just wanted to share a funny E-mail I got.. :| geez |

Re: Geography fail! I think the problem is that while Americans are colourful and easy to make fun of, Europeans are bland and boring. This is putting the Americans at a serious disadvantage. Common it's TRUE! What are they gonna make fun of? Ooooooooh, the EU generates a large number of regulatory bodies, that makes for great punchlines! Europe has been boring for quite some time now, you guys need to liven it up a little. |

Re: Geography fail! On the part of Scorched Earth policy, Albert Speer, in the closing days of WW2 went around tell people not to use Scorched earth because it would cause untold destruction to the people of Berlin. I love US jokes. They are either so wrong (where you can correct them if they are that dense) or something you know is a common stereotypes. About Polish immigrants: EU made say rude things about them, but the US does the same thing to Mexicans and other immigrants. If a person wants to leave their country for a better life good for them. I support them. The world has one thing in common: stupidity! |

Anyway, there's plenty of jokes about european countries. And by the way, does anyone know when did the Germans schedule their next invasion? |

Re: Geography fail! The map is a joke and is funny as hell. It's in the same vein as the old "Shortest Books In The World" type of jokes that are as old as the hills. You know, stereotypes have at least some basis in reality or we wouldn't recognize them. The basis of much humor is to take a recognizable trait that has been displayed enough that a lot of people have noticed it, and then exaggerate it. Result - funny stuff. |

yeah, i remeber a guy asking every american in the Street.. "Bush said, the US would be prepared to Invade Kazakhstan, because its a dangerous country that treats out country, do you agree whit a military intervention?" "Uh well, yes for sure.. Bush enemy is our enemy" Other guys answered.. "Kaza what!?" Funny, ignorant but funny :P |
Re: Geography fail! Most of the lesser-known former soviet states are a weak area in a bunch of our geography. Heck, I only learned of Kazkhstan via CnC:Generals (campaign). Belarus and Ukraine were from Janes Fighters Anthology. And Georgia due to recent events. Oh, I knew what they were and how they came to be, but I'd have problems putting them on a blank map before I learned of them. Still, I like a good joke on any nation, unless it's too far below the belt. My comment earlier was to point out an ironic joke if it was there. Oh, and I'd say our general public likes the funny pot shots on any high level politician, unless it's overly sexist or racist. Take JibJab.com for example. Remember as well that this is the FH community. I remember someone having a saved quote in his sig that said to the effect of: "The sarcastic comment is what drives the FH community." So we need to have a scense of humor, here. =p |

Re: Geography fail! I meant to do this a while ago. I'm gonna see if Archie has nailed me: Quote:
"redneck" - check: these are my people; blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh. "shotguns" - mega check: At last count it was six, each with it's own role, from upland bird hunting to darkened hallway clearing.

Now, what was it I was saying about stereotypes having a basis in truth? Or was I talking about how sometimes we'll take things which are intended as insults and exaggerate them as a way of saying "kiss my ass"? I forget. Quote:

Re: Geography fail! I think I was drunk when I said some of these things....I don't remember typing them :confused:.........boy...im an asshole. |

Re: Geography fail! No, the pic means that the euro youngsters take showers =p |
Re: Geography fail! No it means the euro youngsters dress like preppy gheys. But it doesn't matter what I say as long as I say I'm just kidding and its not my fault you can't take jokes, right? |
Re: Geography fail! Given that the very term 'preppy' and a lot of that shite clothing comes from the USA it's a pretty half-arsed gag. Oh, and thanks for emo. (you're welcome to McFly) |
Re: Geography fail! You're right about where the preppy look came from, but that ain't it. This is the preppy look: http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t.../preplooks.jpg BTW, I am a big fan of prep. In the last 35 years my dress shirt choices have been limited to white and blue Oxford cloth button downs. Casual shirts are navy blue polos, and casual pants are khakis. Top it off with boat shoes and tassel loafers and my wardrobe problems were solved for a lifetime. What is displayed in v Mudra's pic is a stereotype (I find it shocking, shocking, I tell you): Catwalk Boy wears a foo-foo mega-gay fashion style never actually seen in public. You'll notice the obvious (and obviously intended) symbolism: the suspenders (braces) are backwards. You know, as if the cute boy's butt was facing the picture. Get it, huh, huh? In addition to all that back-to-front business, the designer is pushing the "wrongness" angle, which is as good as saying "unnatural", and "crime against nature". (Hey, I didn't design it - I just report on the symbolism.) Going with the theory that humor is the unexpected juxtaposition of incongruities, von Mudra pairs Catwalk Boy with Kid Badass. Yes, it's got a low degree of difficulty, but it's almost always nailed perfectly. |
Re: Geography fail! Didn't those designer jeans and such with holes pre-made in them originate from the US? Twice as expensive with less material. I'm from the originating country and I don't see the logic in it. Buy normal jeans and hack away while you save cash. Duh. Playing along with jum's steriotype, he must play tennis/badminton/racketball along with golf/bochieball, own a yacht, and a few horses (including a race horse). All while pulling Benjamins out of his wallet. Maybe even live in a walled utopian community as well. =p =p That, or middle class in disguise. Go ahead and laugh at my failure of humor... |
Re: Geography fail! At least you get hot wives with a preppy look =p |

Now if it featured an American soldier and a "Euro" soldier.. shameless stereotypes being the "shouting American asshole soldier who will raise his voice to communicate with people who don't speak English VERSU the european soldier who speaks three words of foreign language and has a translater with him to ask how the people are doing" . ;) |
