Talking to Americans

[Djamila]

In the other thread, I mentioned this show - I think Tigress knew what I was talking about?

Anyhow, I couldn't find any clips of the Bosnian version on YouTube but I found a collage of several clips from the Canadian version.

I'm pretty sure most of these Americans knew it wasn't the national anthem they were singing, and some of the "Congratulations Canada for..." were a bit much - but the rest seems honest enough. My favorite is still the West Edmonton Mall one, and that appears in this collage. However, it was in relation to East Timor, not Iraq - my mistake.

This isn't filmed in from of a live audience, but it is aired for the first time before a live audience so the reactions you're hearing from the crowd are real.

I hope everyone can enjoy it, but I'm a little paranoid now that this will become another "Mila said all Murkins is igrunt" thread - so, put a sock in that before it starts.

If we are going to have a discussion about this beyond "tee hee, that's silly" or "OMG, that's stupid", I'd like people to discuss how they feel about a show like this even existing, and if they're good natured enough, how they feel about the responses.
