God has forsaken me. I thought he would draw the line to American Supremacy somewhere. But no. I have horrible news. In the old position of our corner store gift shop, there sits a new store. Proudly it sits. It doesn’t really know how out of place it looks against it’s dim, drab, humble Australian neighbours. It’s painted in the brightest white, red and blues available. This new store has a name, and that name is;
YANKEE DOODLE DANDIESAll American clothing for under fours.
Help us, America is liberating Australian children’s clothing!
I think you can understand my position, it’s not that I have the problem with the stars and stripes. Hey, they look good on swim wear, but dressing up poor little kids in it who don’t have a choice?
This is clothing I don’t think Americans would dress their children in. It’s hideous. The American flag was not designed to be made into a jumpsuit. Booties, perhaps. And who’s great idea was Tommy Hilfiger child clothing?
The stars and stripes have invaded Kenmore, Brisbane, Australia. Send re-inforcements. We’re gonna need all the f*cking help we can get.
America … instead of conquering with bullets and bombs, we like to conquer with garish Stars-and-Stripes-covered clothing. You know, hearts and minds and all that psychological and cultural stuff.
OK, OK, so we kind of like to use bullets and bombs. But its nice to use something else for a change of pace.
You think what we’re doing to you is bad?
Over here, we dress our tykes in Ronald McDonald clothing; McKids! :eek:
That’s right. You can buy them right at your local Wal-Mart.
Cause after all those happy meals, the lil’ pudgers need specially tailored clown-clothes to hide the McNugget bulge.
Now quit your whining before we start shipping.
Believe it or not, there was a time when conservative Americans frowned on this sort of thing. It was at one time considered in poor taste to use the flag as an item of sheer decoration. The hippies wore flag-decorated clothing in the '60s and '70s as a protest.
Quorn isn’t actually all that bad–I had some before I knew what it was, and although I could tell it wasn’t real chicken, I’d definately eat it again. Not by itself, of course, but in a taco or something.
Even though you know what it is? :eek:
Fungi, fungi, fungi!
What a fun word!
Fungi!
Actually, I loves mushrooms, but the description just skirts around actually calling them that. Like you wouldn’t list hotdog under the category beef.
Yep, it’s true!
I didn’t see Australia listed in the article; has McKids hit the Down Under?
Shall we start loading the cargo planes?
Share our pain!
But…if the youth of Australia don’t become accustomed to the fact that the United States is the Greatest Country on Earth ™, then none of them will want to move here and entertain us when they grow up. If that happens, who will be the next generation’s Paul Hogan, Steve Irwin, or Men At Work? Don’t you realize our need to import Aussies, because the best we can produce on our own is Tom Green?
