I think it best left to Americans to describe America, particularly if I want to keep this blog family-fucking-friendly, so here is a particularly timely pair of videos from those great American patriots Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
Part One: Who will take on responsibility for solving the world’s problems?
Part Two: What to do about North Korea (and Alec Baldwin)?
All clear now? Great. Now go out there and police the world!
I’m sorry I missed this: no idea when it was here, but I’m down that way all the time. Very odd I didn’t see it and annoy my smoking and in-denial friends about it. This is from Creative Advertisements Around the World Hemmy.net (turns out eglobe1.com took it from the original author {now linked here, see comments} and didn’t credit it), via Fark.
This is an advertisement found in Vancouver during the National Non-Smoking Week. The car was placed at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the message reads
‘Death from car accidents: 370
Death from smoking-related causes: 6,027
Quit now before it kills you.’
Happy Feral Cat Day, everyone!
Metro, Mistress Cowfish, are you reading me? You might want to stay indoors and do not, repeat, not touch the phone.
Feline is not Felonious.
Yes, as we learn from our good friends the Farkers, Monday is National Feral Cat Day in the US; because we are such good friends with the Americans, we will this once adopt their holiday, as it does not appear to involve bizarre, expensive ceremonies, burning crosses, firearms, or the commemoration of the looting of Yorktown. 
We’ve even come up with a nifty slogan for our Yankacious readers to use, should they be possessed of the urge to print up t-shirts or decorate a special-occasion cake with a properly celebratory saying.
Spay a Stray Today!
Catchy, eh? You’re welcome.
Now, this is just something that works in any language. It’s the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles, and if you find my blog too highfalutin’, elitist and intellectual, you will, I assure you, find your fears put to rest by my inclusion of this, perhaps the apotheosis of Hollywood comedic expression.
