Oh dear god....

CAN’T YOU AMERICANS GRASP THAT SHE WAS JOKING....... , she wasnt being serious, just as Robbie Williams wasnt when she said to a US interviewer that he ‘was into bum sex and heroin.....’.

Get a clue, America,please. I like you, but Americans have never understood the dry sarcastic/ironic British sense of humour.

Sorry, but truly the stereotype that Americans ‘dont get irony’ is true. Why do you people take everything SO literally?.

The problem was, she was in a room full of young adults. The concept of sarcasm isn’t developed until mid-teens. FWIW, I really don’t think she was joking. I hope she was, but she shouldn’t have said it.
