Curse of America

NZ is slowing falling into the shit pit that is american culture these days. cheerleading are gonna establish it's footing soon, more and more kids are getting *grundgey* and *gangstahy*. I can't believe all the channels are still buying those fucking awful american sitecom shows to NZ tv. Do we really want to know that being stupid and fat is the best way of life?! Frankly, i wouldn't mind at all if all the programs got replaced by british imports, their comedies are at least funny.

Forums: The Bar,

If u want more detail, read the last article on this week's craccum magizine.

do u have a hobby? i think u need one. whilst that was insightful, does it REALLY matter? why is it bad that a sitcom, that happens to be american, is on tv? its entertainment. do u watch movies? i think you'll find, and feel free to but in and call me old-school, that the vast majority of those movies are american. im not arguing. just raising a point. sweet as... good luck with your issue. peace

FOOL! I like american movies too, cause most movies are from America, but whats to say their sit comes are not dumb?!!! HMMMM!!!

Speaking of the curse of america, did anyone The Guardian last night? Omigod! The ending left me dumbstruck! Omigod! Omigod! If I wasn't hooked before, I am now.

dat program looks lame, i rather watch csi.

I watched The Guardian! I couldn't believe how it ended!

I think I'll be emotionally traumatised for the rest of the week. You could actually see the truck coming! Then - SMACK! Omigod!

// Frankly, i wouldn't mind at all if all the programs got replaced by british imports, their comedies are at least funny.

Dude, there are some really shitty comedies that come out of Britain. It's just that because they're so shitty they don't usually end up being bought by any of the TV channels here, so we don't see them.

Having said there, there's this deliciously fucked-up comedy show called "Bo Selecta" that I saw a few times in the UK. The comedy probably wouldn't translate to NZ, because a lot of it is based on British celebrities and culture, but it makes me wish for something like that to be shown here.

yeah but they still buy all the crappy US stuff !!

the solution.

and islamic based govt. will end this evil for the better

its true. america is one of the most fucked up countries on this planet. i think it must have the highest proportion of complete and utter morrons per capita in the world, not to mention a greed driven economy and a government of orwellian proportions to match. america is a prime example of democracy gone wrong. now i'm getting to the bit which fucks me off the most:

theres piss-all anyone can do about it. they've got their thumb on the world, on the media, and on each and every one of us. our only hope is that they'll go the same way as the roman empire. bring on the apocalypse!

We meet again young Doom tree.

"they've got their thumb on the world, the media and on each and everyone of us. our only hope is that they'll go the same way as the roman empire. bring on the apocalypse !"

hahaha you need to relax man, honestly, all this melodrama can't be good for you.

just having a rant man, you know how it is. if i really gave a shit, i'd do something about it.

I love the states the only problem is its full of yanks.

Some yanks are cool, e.g. AL BUndy :D

Homer J Simpson /m/

Meh. I'm sick of everybody saying "American this, America that, America sucks the big fat monkey cock." I am american (well...partially) but i'm sick of everybody stereotyping Americans. Yes, there are retards in power, yes there is alot of patriotism.
But, no, not all Americans are fuck-ups.

Some of the most real and down to earth people in my life are Americans.

I suppose ur right, the yanks i met in NZ are pertty cool too, maybe datz why they left america :P

yeah, its definitely the power system that gets at me. most of the yanks i know are good bastards.

Glad you think so cause when I come home Im bringing 3 of them with me (the "wife" and two mates) hahaha.

Yeah, that what both of my American friends say - they left, and a lot of American outside of America are apparently more selfaware etc, but they put it down to the fact that the news media inside America is very very very local and doesn't talk about the outside at all.

//a lot of American outside of America are apparently more selfaware etc

A kiwi friend went to the States (ummm - San Fransisco I think) and he reckoned people were really amazed that he'd even consider leaving his home country. Apparently the overseas experience is Just Not Done - unnecessary, unpredictable, dangerous, and people who want to travel are viewed with something akin to suspicion - like a bit of a loose cannon. My friend reckoned middle culture strongly encourages getting a nice office job, buying a house and settling down. From those observations, I imagine that americans who do leave the states (or at least are intending to travel) probably are inclined to be more independent and open-minded, and less swayed by convention.

//inclined to be more independent and open-minded, and less swayed by convention.

Gosh. Thanks, Heather. I always knew there was something special about me. Usually people just say that I'm dangerously unpatriotic.

We know you're independentest/open-mindedest/least swayed by convention. I'm hoping that even if you don't get around to organising your own overseas experience, we'll get to meet you when they exile you.

Well, my expatriation fund is coming along nicely. As is my plan to be forcibly ejected by the government for being the only american never to have eaten at McDonalds.

thanks grandpa, datz exactly what i am trying to say!!! At least 14 year old pregenancy rate isn't as high as america yet... *gulp* i hope...

Mr I, will you e-mail me? (addy in profile)
I gotta link you'll like, regarding HARRRRRR!

Above and beyond everything else Americans are peoples just like us, with the same hopes, dreams and... well you get the gist.
If you are going to judge America then come over here and live here for more than 6 mths (Ive been here about 7yrs) and then see if you still hold the same view of Americans. Most of my friends hate the way their nation is portrayed to the rest of the world but what can they do ? They have as much control over their government as you do over yours.
NZ has its fair share of clowns as does the states only thing is their fair share could populate NZ 10 times over. Peoples are peoples, man, take them on a case by case basis and fuck everything else.

I vaguely recall reading about teen pregnancy in Michael Moore's 'Stupid White Men'. Off the top of my head I think he said NZ is higher than america.

oh the humanity!!! I urge u ppl to control ur urges to have sex with underaged gurls then!!! *angry stern look*

I think that KittenSlayer tried to say that, America's lifestyle is taking the whole world.
It's true, I fact most of American kids are FAT and STUPID (Kelly Osbourne and her Fat brother, well, it's not the race, it's the land).
Is New Zealand getting fulled of "young Gangs"???
Fuck, that's a bad sign.
I supposed that most of the 14 to 17 yaer old girls are Fans of SONY CHANNEL.
There's a good way to know if your country is getting AMERICANIZED, if teenage girls are watching FRIENDS (the TV show) and actually loving it, then your country it's turning to the "america style".
That sux. Same with Dawson's Creek and all that Crap.
that's all.

//the only american never to have eaten at McDonalds

bloody hell, that makes me more american than you.

America compelled new Zealand to outlaw marijuana or "we will cut all ties and we will never speak to you again".

It was at the same time that America Bribed New Zealand into sending hundreds of Kiwi Men off to Vietnam to fight a foe not even threatening the security of New Zealand yet alone the pacific. Then it bribed new Zealand again by forcing us to send our SAS to afghanistan to fight in the "war on terrorism" Of which america should have fought on its own if it claimed "self-defence"
