Read the comments on this BuzzFeed video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Fm-LYJ91k It's a stupid BuzzFeed review of British McDonald's menu items, but British people are loving furious. I see this a lot. The Brits seem to get really upset when they're compared to Americans.

I don't speak french so I can't know that for sure, but I do know that when a British item is compared to an American item and the American item is found superior, British people seem to get really upset. Whereas Americans don't really give a poo poo who is better at what.

I'm saying that Americans don't compare themselves to Brits, but British people absolutely compare themselves to Americans. No God FearingTM American would give a poo poo if British McDonald's was better than American McDonald. But British people take it super personally.

Any time a British person points out the superiority of something British for example our bbc comedy or lower homicide rate you call us limey faggots threaten to dump our tea in the harbour all over again and chant USA USA USA...

British people own guns they're just big pussies and write them off as antiques and they're also totally not making their own ammo in their basement for Grandpa's luger. Because there are absolutely no tensions at all in the UK.

So I'm not the only one who's noticed this? It's a pretty loving common trend. The girl in the video didn't like the british mcdonald's cappuccino and brits were like "I want to slap that stupid American bitch. What a bloody oval office she is."

In high school I was friends with a girl who was half brit and half thai. We went to her house some times and her dad liked to make us drinks. One night he showed us his gun and gave us nice cigars. And another night his wife found him looking at gay porn with our friend. I'm pretty sure he was just curious and thought it was funny but I don't know anything. She beat on him and screamed at him for hours, calling him gay and stuff.

op, think about other buzzfeed articles you've read. why would this one buck the trend and not be a load of codswallop? two things 1) most british people like americans just fine and 2) this is really hard for americans to understand sometimes but the rest of the world really, really, doesn't think about american or americans as much as you think we do. basically, we dont care really.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY in America, thinks about Britain as much as British people think about America.
