This post is really only for me...
I am thinking about Eddie Izzard again and although he really does make me laugh pretty much uncontrollably, I think his humor is probably hard to appreciate if you haven't been to most of the countries in Europe, for example, the French are really fucking French. My sister and I were in our hotel room in Paris, drinking some cheap ass rose wine with a bucket of ice (they thought we wanted to rub the ice on our faces because apparently putting ice in drinks is totally foreign to both the French and the English concierge, but that's an entirely different story). Anyway, the French are about to vote on the EU constitution and it was fairly clear on the news that it was not going to pass. The reason was primarily either that they didn't feel like doing what the rest of Europe wanted them to do, or that the thing was too long and they didn't trust a document that long. I imagine if it was short they wouldn't trust it either, it was a crazy heat wave in Paris, so we stayed in the hotel in the middle of the day, but watching the French basically just be fucktards for no reason was really all the amusement we needed.
I think people need to travel more, and see that the whole world does in fact hate Americans, but what they don't tell you is they only hate the obvious Americans. If you are fat and can't dress, everyone is going to know you are American, but in Paris everyone thought that my sister and I were French. This was a little bit of a problem seeing as I don't speak a word of French and they would just start talking to me while I stared like a deer in the headlights, but nobody was rude. In Italy, they mostly thought I was English, Americans are loud, rude and uneducated for the most part, and the most fucked up thing is that they think they are the great ones in their t-shirts and sunburns. People are laughing behind their backs, and everyone avoids them like they have the HIV. Also, most people in Europe in fact speak English but will pretend like they don't if you are obviously American. I love Europe, we need to start treating people more like shit for acting American. I don't care if this is America, fucking stop being fat and trashy, and learn how to hold your alcohol, it's not cute and it makes the rest of us look bad.
