    Wouldn't California be considered a red state? Somehow it's included as part of "America" on that map of Dumbfuckistan.

    Hmmm I remember I saw a sticker in Helsingborg where the text was

    "Danish bacon, a taste of racism"

    But peace man, I am not going to start a new war between Denmark and Sweden. But I am well aware of different stuff, when it comes to "racism", even though it isn´t racism having a Swedish, or a Danish flag. Or for that matter a Norwegian flag.

    It's a shame he didn't guess Londonese. But what do you expect from a dumb ass football player? They are paid to be meatsacks that run around in a big rectangle. Intelligence not required. Not to mention if you had any you wouldn't fucking be a football player.

    Even though they speak English in London, it took me a couple episodes of The Office (UK) to get used to how they talk and understand what they're saying.

    So...I'm guessing there's a big difference in the way people in Slough talk compared to the way people in London talk... :shrug:

    I had the exact same attitude towards it, but I gave it a chance and I actually really enjoy the Steve Caroll led US series. He`s so much more likeable when he`s being an dick. His 'Gareth' Dwight is really great character too. You just have to take it as another show set in an Office as only the first episode and some general themes (Christmas party etc) are the same.

    Steve Carrel is quite funny... but nobody can top David Brent. He's an utter and complete donut, and has no idea. In all fairness, he got about the best ending he could ever hope for in the Xmas episode.

    I also assume there's some bits they just couldn't do at all in the US one. One of my favorite moments was when Garreth and David are in there explaining the Black Man's Cock joke and why "it's a complement really" to their superiors.

    For me I watchted the UK show after watching 3 seasons of the American. At first I didn't like the UK, after watching the first episode. But after that I really liked it. I can't get over the look on Gareth's face when he's riding away with the biker chick and her husband as they leave the club. I was dying! It was such a perfect shot! :lol::lol::lol:

    Yeah, just the other day as I was sitting in my trailer diddling my sister with the barrel of my shotgun when the meth lab in my kitchen exploded, prematurely igniting the large wooden cross I'd prepared for that evening's Klan rally, I spat out my chaw of tobacco, took a long swig of moonshine, saluted my Confederate flag, hugged my Bible and tossed another copy of Darwin's Origin of Species on the fire and thought to myself, "Man, us Southern folk sure is a bunch of dumb fucks. Hyuk-yuk!"

    Stupidity knows no borders.

    I knew a guy who told me that a friend of his got beat up in a immigrant dominated suburb for wearing a national team jacket (which he was a part of).

    But to Wolverine, I can understand, and respect, Denmark's stance on immigration since it has been reported even in Sweden about the conflicts down there. It's just sad that Pia Kjärsgaard are aggressive even against us Swedes.

    I heard that the majority of americans dont have passports because they are unlikely to leave the states at any point in their lives.
