    "Like totally pass me the lard" would be more appropriate.

    Americans are misportrayed. Okay, you do have your thick, slack jawed redneck yokels who are trigger-happy, eat burgers and love Bush and the Bible, but America is much larger than the UK and this section is naturally larger and more visible.

    There are smart, funny and pleasant Americans out there. However, Bush is undoubtedly a moron of the highest order.

    An exceedingly small minority: the British who happen to live over there.

    I think far too many people jump on the bandwagon just because it's trendy.
