Something completely different
Nov. 1st, 2004 12:15 pmWhile I'm in newpaper reading mode, read this article. If you missed it, the Guardian suggested that its readers might like to write to undecided voters in Clark County, Ohio and give them some helpful advice. Out of purely neighbourly concern, of course. The reponse from Guardian readers was overwhelming. These are some of the replies from our American cousins. I laughed til I cried, I tell you...

And a sample for those reluctant clickers:
"Have you not noticed that Americans don't give two shits what Europeans think of us? Each email someone gets from some arrogant Brit telling us why to NOT vote for George Bush is going to backfire, you stupid, yellow-toothed pansies ... I don't give a rat's ass if our election is going to have an effect on your worthless little life. I really don't. If you want to have a meaningful election in your crappy little island full of shitty food and yellow teeth, then maybe you should try not to sell your sovereignty out to Brussels and Berlin, dipshit. Oh, yeah - and brush your goddamned teeth, you filthy animals.
Wading River, NY"
Chortle... ok, off to brush my teeth now ;)

Unless you would like a company of US Navy Seals - Republican to a man - to descend upon the offices of the Guardian, bag the lot of you, and transport you to Guantanamo Bay, where you can share quarters with some lonely Taliban shepherd boys.
