AMERICA IS OK!

Article by
The Comic in Red Shoes
In Search of Laughs!
Hi everybody! steady steady!! Relax. Please, I want to thank you for taking a moment to listen to this new idea. I've looked around. I've checked as many facts as I could verify. All the data, plus this overriding feeling I sense in most of the people I see, leads me to just one, very simple conclusion: AMERICA IS OK! Sure, Chinese companies are making millions by selling all those American Flags back to us. Thats the beauty of it! Americans claim to have the best of: so many things, the rest of the world is getting an inferiority complex, having to listen to us brag about it all the time! Bummer, yall! This low esteem viewpoint worldwide leads to some predictable behavior. Maybe our foreign policy would be more effective if, after we invaded them, we could coerce these troubled nations into Anger management therapy!

(This is what should have happened on the day after victory on the ground was declared)

There, there Iraqi folks. I know youre angry! And I know why. Bad Saddam is all gone. But, tricky democracy is here! And you're still mad, because we didnt ask you first, huh? Whoops! Waddaya gonna do? By, the way, were opening K-Marts in Basra, Tikrit, and Mosul! The Kurds get two Wal-Marts, and Baghdad, all the 7/11s you could possibly want! All the goods in each and every store will be free. Just turn in a gun or a coupla WMDs! We are shipping every Yellow Cab in NYC here to jump-start your new industry! Also, its carwashes for the whole country! And just to convince you that America means business here: Everybody, and I mean everybody in this whole hot damn country is gonna get a copy of Hooked on Phonics and a two years' supply of Evian! And a Popeils Pocket Fisherman! And Dr. Phils new book! And a Cat Stevens CD! Tomorrow, on Baghdads new, national radio station: WE-1! A new morning show will debut: Pulse of Persia! It'll have news, weather, and talk about issues! Weve been told if viewer-ship is up, and gunfire is down, Oprah will fly over to be on the show! Then, if everybodys real nice, then, were gonna have elections! OK, nice Iraqi folks, dontcha feel better? Youve let it out; ready to move on, arent you? Sure you are!

And moving on, most of you Iraqis can see the truth of this now, America does have The best of: some things. Tanks, planes, night vision goggles, aircraft carriers, Social Security, advertising, and stuff like that. Oh, and other stuff like musicals, Rock n Roll and porno industries. Dont worry; Well explain it all to you. But, my major point here doesnt need to be explained at all! Virtually everybody will agree: America has the best bulls**t in the whole world. Dont deny the truth here! When it comes to malarkey, Were number one! And we export it too! Thats because American bulls**t has accomplished wonders mere mediocre bulls**t could only dream of. Look it Disneyland! Believe me, boys, thats a load of BS! How about the re-building of Europe after WW2? It took many truckloads of BS to get that funded. But, theres the dark side of American BS too! Id like to take a moment to apologize for that whole O.J. thingy! We kinda got out of hand on that one! (Our Bad!)

But, remember: American BS is like a force of nature, and cannot be avoided! Wherever theres an injustice being done; American BS will be there! Whenever theres a lurid rape case, our BS will be there! If ever theres someones liberty being threatened somewhere (and we can make a buck out of it), our American BS will be there!

Thats why some people may throw rocks or roadside bombs at America. Its human nature to fear what you dont understand. See, non-Americans dont understand having the American dream. It offers a better life, if only in ones dreams! I know that all people, everywhere, yearn for a better life! Thats BS, too! So now, theyve joined the game! If you look close enough, overstatement, hyperbole, and raised expectations are all BS! But, these are really the building blocks of hope. And, boyo, does America have hope! Look anywhere from sea to shining sea, you'll find hope. Thats why America is OK!

If you kill the messenger, then no one will bring you the news. Isn't America strong enough to see it's reflection? I think so! Long live those who dare to see things as they are.

"What America is full of is decnt people looking to make a better future for the entire world" - that's the problem - most of the americans actually believe that they are better than the "entire world". But that's not true, of course. What you are saying about americans, goes about most of the nations. america isn't the saviour.

PS: yes, I'm American too

PSSSSS: Good article btw! And for those who didn't get it, dear people, take it easy, this article is in the entertainment section!

stolen elections...no, comment boy, you're right, there's no BS in America. Unless you've got your head stuck in the sand, or somewhere else.










Comment Boy says on 2006-02-24 22:59:21 about America is full of BS!
What America is full of is decnt people looking to make a better future for the entire world, if thats BS mister then surley your heart is as black as the king of spades. America is not full of BS but alot of citizens who express their wrong minded opinions are, You sir, are a BS artist.
