What?  Which Canadian is upset by that?  Not me.  I don't understand what's going on.

All they'd have to do is ask you who the premier is, or what the Canadian political parties are, and they'd know that not only are you American, but you're a lying American.

But do Europeans know the right answers to these questions?

But, a Canadian made me an honorary Canadian once.  They even gave me some of their currency, with a picture of their king on it.

in my understanding, some South Americans get pissed off when US-ians call themselves "American," as technically any citizen of north, central, or south America would count as an "American."
So, in Spanish, the word "Ustadosunidense" exists, apparently. Roughly translated by my spanish teacher to mean "United Statesian." Which is dumb.

Way to have a stick up your ass, South America. you'd think we'd installed a bunch of dictators in your country, or taken advantage of you economically, or... something.

I covered this. Fuck a bunch of Americans right in their puckered bungholes.

Who the hell identifies themselves by what continent they live on?  Except of course for African Americans who don't actually live on the continent they identify themselves with.

Oh and i've been meaning to ask, what the hell is Teen Hunger Force and what does it have to do with the rights of Americans to identify themselves by the name of their country.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a cartoon about a giant milk shake (aka "Shake) a giant container of French Fries (aka Frylock) and a ball of meat (aka Meat Wad) who generally hang out at their slummy house and annoy their neighbour: a very white trash guy named Carl.  This is interwoven with a variety of different alien characters who appear - many of whom seek to destroy the main characters.  The whole show is built on an irreverent and random style of comedy much like Brak or Harvey Birdman, but with it's own flavour.  It's very entertaining stuff, but it fits in with a genre of entertainment almost tailor made for the stoner crowd.

Oh and i've been meaning to ask, what the hell is Teen Hunger Force and what does it have to do with the rights of Americans to identify themselves by the name of their country.

Assuming the questions are genuine:

1) Aqua Teen Hunger Force is an 11-minute show on the Adult Swim block of the Cartoon Network. It started on an episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast with the 3 mascots of a fictional fast food chain. Master Shake (the jerkass), Frylock (the sensible one you identify with), and Meatwad whose slogan is "the bun is in your mind" (the moron). For the most part the show has dis-continuity. So many episodes end with main characters dead and/or the end of the world only to be completely ignored next episode. They recently released a movie (Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters) which even fan boys agree was a bad idea because 11 minutes does not convert to 87 very well.

If you think Family Guy has its moments then ATHF is something you might enjoy. If you're not a fan, or like to claim that you can't even make it through an episode because it's currently the trendy pretentious thing to do then definitely skip this show.

2) Wandering threads rule.

And how come they get two continents?

I dunno.

I love ATHF about two-thirds of the time and... I believe Family Guy is the laziest worst thing on television since "Friends" went off the air. If you want to show the dividing line between "all-over-the-place stoner humour" and "lazy writing POSING as all-over-the-place stoner humour" you just have to watch those shows back to back.

I'm not saying that ATHF is for everyone but... ATHF is genuinely the work of weird disjointed comedy minds who are writing for their own senses of humour and maybe you agree with them and maybe you don't... whereas Family Guy is just the stalest most-rehashed excuse for television humour spiced up with fart jokes and offensive racial humour then wrapped in a layer of intelligence-insulting pop-culture shout-outs that aren't even jokes.

Once or twice an episode, "Family Guy" goes so far over the line in terms of offensiveness that I'll get a belly laugh but other than that... nothing. It's paint-by-number comedy, it's vaudeville for stock brokers in their middle thirties who think they're still "edgy". Bleh.

Both shows have their moments and fall into what I would call Perfectly Acceptable Entertainment. Not going to win any awards but fine background diversion while online or cooking dinner or whatever. Family Guy has enough genuinely funny moments to keep me watching (the Hinden-Peter comes to mind). AT has lots of moments of utter crap itself. The entire Dickisode, for example.

The question was semi genuine as I had never heard of the show prior to this thread, but from reading through I did gather most of the pertinent details.  Thanks for the comparison to Family Guy.  Now I know it's something I am not sad i've missed.

I agree with LFM completely and don't like either show.  Well, I guess I would take issue with the stoner humor label, but that isn't really important.

Also, Cort, it doesn't mean that ATHF won't be bad occasionally, just that they try.

Huh. I like ATHF, and love Family Guy. I guess that makes me defective somehow.

I won't lose much sleep over that though. I've never understood why Family Guy earns so much derision.
