Sad but true - Americans

Sometimes I like to pretend that our country's (the U.S.) teeming cities are filled with globally-minded, responsible, kind, intelligent and compassionate human beings that, although imperfect, are still trying to make an effort to love their neighbors and be good people. Then I like to pretend my summer home is located on the moon, I'm 10 years younger and I have a dog that defecates solid gold bricks.

Not to cast aspersions on the populace in general. I happen to know a lot of decent, hard-working, morally sound Americans (and no, I don't happen to mean "religious" specifically, there are plenty of upstanding and kind souls that here that would "make the grade" no matter which religion you happen to be talking about... I meant generally). I know they exist - they're the people balancing out the other large group of Americans I know. The idiots. They are the people that occasionally make me ashamed to be called an American. They are the people that believe that America is the first and last word in countries that matter. They are the "ugly Americans."

That said, I thought this was hilarious.
