Curse Those Verdammten Engländer!
See the woman in pink? She's laughing at that guy's Minnesota accent!
What's up with the English? First they steal our language, then they get all uppity about it. Well, who needs pasty-faced condescension anyway? Not these guys.
"Yes, their royal family is cool, and yes, they have The Beatles and Shakespeare, but—well, they don't have to act so high and mighty," Hendricks said. "Every time they talk, it's like they think they're better than us. Do they think we don't notice that look on their faces?"
According to surveys, Americans are not looking for special treatment from the British, only a little bit of acknowledgement once in a while.
"All we want is one little nod of affirmation, a pat on the back, a 'good job' for some of the things we've done as a country," said Matthew Prousalis, a customer-service agent for AT&T Wireless in Peoria. "Really, all it would take is a quick 'Thanks for inventing the first successful gas-powered automobile. Keep it up.' That's it. But no, nothing."
"I've admired the British ever since I saw them on PBS as a kid," Prousalis added, blushing slightly. "Do they have any idea how bad they make us feel when they disregard us like this?"
Yeah! Why do so many in England consider us such rubes, anyway?
Added Soellner: "Just because we don't have a cool accent, it doesn't mean we don't have any culture."
Americans don't have a cool accent?
Shore we dew!
