The thread is funnier than the map (which was pretty funny)
Here's a question.. When you Americans who are getting cranky watched the Simpsons and they made episodes which played on stereotypes and made fun of the following nations:
England
Canada
Australia
Cuba
Japan
China
(Just to name a few. Off the top of my head.)
Did you laugh? Or did you just glare at the television?
And I'm not even being cheeky, I'm serious. Do you laugh when Americans make fun of countries other than your own?
Then again, I suppose I should apply some cultural relativism. I'm from Australia, and in my country, satire and parody is how we make humour; I know in England satire and Black Comedy are very popular (gotta love British humour!!!)
But yeah, to those who are offended, can you answer my question?Sorry...I guess I'm not amongst the stereotypical Americans and never watched the Simpsons...
Gee go figure...We're not all like that...Who would've thought ?
Ok. I'll ask the question again. I'll leave out this simpsons, if you leave out the sarcasm.
This is a sincere question.
Do you laugh when Americans make fun of countries other than your own? I am curious. Not snarky, cheeky, or smart-alec-y. Curious.
Thank you!
