Ok, this might seem a bit stupid, but it's been bugging me for a while - do Americans think of people in England as stuck-up, posh, tea-drinking cricketers with bad teeth? Do they think the England id in the slightest like Mary Poppins.
Ok, so I was watching Teen Titans yesterday, and if you watch it, you'll know what I mean, it was the second episode with Mad Mod. If not, then he's like a British supervillain lol. Anyway, he turns America into 'England' and all the way through they make jokes involving us drinking loads of tea and stuff like that. I actually found it funny but it got me thinking if that is what Americans really think of us or if it's just a joke. Then, I thought back to The Fairly Odd Parents, where they did the same thing, but worse. It had the works - the really gay accent, fox hunting, bad teeth etc etc. By this point I was getting paranoid so I went onto the urban dictionary and typed in 'british' (since most entries are by American people) and about half the definitions were straight insults.
So, to the point, I want to know from anyone who's American on this forum whether or not you actually think of us this way - being absolutely honest here, because sometimes people (not me, honest!
) speak badly of the USA over here.
Cheerio!
