  Yeah I’m not going to take any kind of back talk from a culture that invented cheese in a can.

    Mocking America over spray cheese is like mocking Britain over jellied eels or mushy peas. Every country has novelty foods. Spray cheese is a niche convenience product, not the defining feature of American cuisine.

    But sure, yes of course. we invented spray cheese.

    And you’ll take all the back tall I give you since you just read every word I wrote.

  I’m figuring that people in the UK are plenty aware that things are fucked.

    Right, I’m sure they are. Which is exactly why “fuck you, America” is such a bullshit thing to say. If you’re going to paint an entire country with one brush, don’t be surprised when people push back.

    And yeah, I’m going to say “fuck you” right back to anyone who says it especially if they live in a politically dysfunctional country just like mine.

    The movement someone from Iceland or New Zealand gets in on the conversation I’ll concede my points.
