This would be true if either a) America was significantly less violent than the rest of the developed world or b) America was significantly less litigious than the rest of the developed world.

The phrase doing the rounds in British media is that these were analogue criminals in a digital world. The planning was flawless, the execution was excellent and the aftermath was an absolute disaster. They didn’t ditch their clothes, tools, phones or computers as they weren’t aware how easily these could be tracked.

I’m afraid they’ve rebooted Teletubbies.

For my kids, they have Peppa Pig, Ben and Holly, Fireman Sam, Bob the Builder etc

DM and Count Duckula were both British cartoons, so I don’t know how they were shown in the US. iirc, one was BBC, the other was ITV? Both popular in the mid-late 80s.

I’ll see your inferior cartoon selection and raise you the obviously superior Transformers, Spiderman, Count Duckula and Bananaman.

Wait, you don’t have Saturday morning cartoons? What kind of dystopian hell do you live in?!

Yeah, that’s the best bit though. He does not care at all which of the multimillionaires he’s upsetting. Some take the joke well (see Johnny Depp’s cameo on life is short) and some not so well.

Yeah, I should have read further before posting.

Watch Life is Short. Or just google Liam Neeson’s scene in it.

I think I like him because his sense of humour is the same as you get with a good mate. It’s all about insulting each other. Taking the piss is the English term for it, I think busting chops is the American one?

I think the important thing to take from this article is that Alabama is finally moving with the times re: feminism. I mean, they named a college football team “Crimson Tide” that shows a healthy appreciation of the menstrual cycle and it’s importance.

Another SATW fan? And, no I did not know that. Not gonna change my original comment because really, how many times do you get to make an Estonia/Nordic joke?

Oh, I understand it’s the logical thing to do, I just don’t think I would have it in me, it’s an entirely visceral thing.

Damnit, Norway! You’re letting Scandinavia down.

Minor correction. She appears to be playing some form of air-lute.

Yeah, that sentence was the one bright point.

This reminds me of something my wife told me happened to a roommate of hers in Malaysia. The roommate was walking back to her flat with her boyfriend when a group of men surrounded them.
