The Ugly Americans#1

Posted: 1/7/09 at 2:04pm

An ABC news report.

I know the actors involved are exaggerations... but TRUST ME I know people (family) JUST LIKE THIS.. so the exaggeration isn't all that much.

I wasn't being snarky, just pointing out the fact that you posted this. Most foreigners think Americans are fat and stupid.

I'm not calling you stupid.

No. We've never met.

Ah.. well

If you watch the piece.. which I'm assuming you didn't bother to do. The issue isn't necessarily one of personal weight.. but one of personal manners.

Wouldn't the "hidden" cameras tip people off that maybe these people weren't real?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I dealt with these same types on the cruise ship.


Irritating folks to say the least.
