Wise of you to ASSUME that the guy/girl who created that is, in fact, American in origin.

:rolleyes:

Produced by an American company for an American television news station who are using it on their American website.

A fair assumption that Americans are involved.

So I guess America is just full of American people and the companies ONLY employee American people.

Can you say IGNORANT?

So I guess someone at first missed that it's an image from the CNN website and are now trying to cover that up.

Can you say ANGRY for no reason over something that's just a little bit of fun?

Far from it. I saw the CNN image and actually followed through to the link because I believed you were linking to an article. If I wouldn't have seen it I would have rushed in a fool.

If anything, this thread seems like another BASH AMERICA thread. That's just the vibe I'm getting. Quit jumping on the bandwagon, folks.

It's something funny, and its relevant because of the discussion recently about American geographical skills. It's meant to be funny, so just laugh about it!

One of the most important personal skills is the ability to poke fun at yourself and your country. If you really considered this as an attempt to insult you in some way then I am truly sorry, it was not intended to do so.

The line between flaming and poking fun is very thing when these boards are common to "America sucks" comments/threads.

I don't anger easily therefore I was not offended. Just be careful how you phrase stuff otherwise people will get the wrong message. That or add more info in your posts pertaining to why you posted the stuff. ;)

I would be interested to see if anyone else found my post offensive to them.
