Except that the bear is completely and utterly psychotic. The bear wants to kill your wife because she’s wearing a mini-skirt. The bear wants to kill you because you didn’t turn your radio off when your neighbor was worshiping five times a day. Anything the bear disagrees with is “disrespectful to bear-ness”. Had a BLT? Disrespectful to bear-ness. Enjoy dancing at the club? Disrespectful to bears who might be led astray. Want the freedom to publish or read something stupid and offensive? Disrespectful to bear-ness. The bear has no moderation in its response; its response is to always go for major pain and suffering.
And if the TV news is to be believed every last one is in the streets weeping over this beloved publication. But yeah, that is very much like my attitude when non-Americans mocked Dubya. I can mock him because he was my president, but outsiders can’t.
But as to my earlier comments, I apologize to the French-speaking world because I don’t find their comedy funny. Candide? Try some subtlety, Voltaire! I also apologize to Great Britain, whose language I speak and whose TV shows, not just the good ones, I’ve seen, because I find much of their comedy unfunny. And Canada? Don’t get me started on Canada.
But you don’t need to be American to mock W, or French to mock Sarko. I’m neither French nor American, BTW. But, I truly hope we can agree on this, if you’re going to mock someone or something, you shouldn’t do it from ignorance.
And, it’s a well-known fact that British comedians perfected the art of comedy, so you’re wrong about that too.
