if you think you need to insult someone to be funny, then your sense of humor is severely warped.

Come on, it's not that big a deal...it's not like they were totally bashing Americans...it was just a little jab about the chair in front of the fire exit..gosh...LOL...I thought it was funny and I'm an American.
Got YWS?

Qi has every right to complain if the little jab offended him. Frankly, I agree. What on earth does a chair in front of a fire exit have to do with the safety in the US? It seems to me much more of a practical 'jab' to imply that school safety isn't what it ought to be. In a world environment that is increasingly unable to distinguish our dumbass government from the rest of our nation's population it is very important to be aware of what stirs up anti-American sentiment. One little jab may mean nothing, but it's just one in a series of background noises that inspire hate and violence against American citizens. (I know we're a democracy, but I certainly didn't vote for the asshole in power, and I don't want to suffer because the president I didn't vote for is a complete moron.)
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.
and I, as an American, living in a country with some of the highest safety standards in the world, was offended.

Please keep on topic...you know, commenting on photos, or did most of you miss that part *points at title*?
I apologise for my comment. I meant nothing by it, and I'm sure America has wonderful safety standards. You obviously don't understand my humour. As Midnight has pointed out. I make jokes that offend people, and sometimes you just have to smile and let your pride drop for a while. So stop taking things so seriously.

Most people who know me personally, actually everyone who knows me personally knows that ive got one of the best senses of humor on the planet. Its almost universal. If it had been about brittain, i would have laughed, but it wasnt, it was about my country and therefore it was a play on me, and i dont apreciate it.
This is a board with a wide variety of people. If it had been a sexist, racist, hetero or homo sexist joke, it would have been taken seriously by someone. In a world that is vastly anti american, as an american, i have every right to take it seriously.
Yes, satire is a huge medium for comedy, that doesnt mean that non insulting humor isn't funny. Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most successful comedians in the country, recently inducted into the Fryers club. He has made his entire career without making fun of a single person outside of his close group of friends who are right there on stage, laughing right along with him, usually telling the story.

You are acting like you're all too old for all these silly jokes and comments, this aint the debate and serious discussion bit you know.. Lots of Americans make a full of Britain and its the same with any other country. We are not some 39 year old office workers taking everything into a serious matter! Now... Wait.. That was brads picture and he was happy, he didnt start raging that it wasnt the fire exit. He laughed. Now... Stop being so serious!
