Video Clip
The British people look at Americans in a poor light if this clip is what they think we act like. I would say this is no different than how we laugh at other countries on Saturday Night Live. We all have a right to say what is and isn't funny and to the British this clip of Americans was funny. No harm done in my opinion, but it does lead one to think that the British see Americans as sloppy and simple people from the way Hugh Laurie is dressed.

Iva: I've had students who take offense at this video. They argue that it misrepresents American society. However, I've had students from other cultures who (quietly) tell me that they see some truth to this depiction. Good work. Richard Bobys
