Atomic wedgie, Where's teh correlation between those two posts?

Just thought the Bigger-And-Better-Lumber-Jockey attitude might serve as a good example of why people worldwide could dislike the North American outlook.

Incidentally, "North American" includes me.

Yeah, it was funny - in a sad sort of way. However, I think that the way a lot of people perceive us North Americans (and why they might just dislike us) - spoiled, dumb, and with all the resources in the world to back us up - was served a good example there with the V8 chainsaw.

A serious brick in the face of levity, but the correlation struck me, if nobody else. I apologize.

Yeah. Americans have a monopoly on excess and stupid, over-the-top contraptions. Oh, but wait a minute, we can't forget Sweden. So you wanna see a stupid, sad, bigger-the-better, spoiled, dumb Swede? Look out! He's gonna invade a country next! Just look at that hat!

Uh, yeah. Seen that. Insipid.

And, just to clarify, I never said *I* thought any of the above, I only said I figured *people who don't like North Americans* might have thought the above.

A little touchy, fellas? Why so insecure? No offense here.
