Im always amazed at stories detailing European obsession with Americans. I have no way of knowing if it's true or not or how deep the obsession is, but Euros should know that Americans almost never think about Euros.

That's the point, of course. They could stand to be irrelevant if we at least pretended they weren't, but we don't and they hate us for it.

I love the freedom I have to wear T-shirts and sandals. No one will ever take that freedom away from me and force me into skirt and those high-heeled torture devices. (Unless the Jihadists win, and even then I'll die fighting over my T-shirt!) This freedom is part of the greatness of America. This freedom may even be the main part of America the Euro-types hate.

Hilarious and spot on, as usual. However...

...the obesity problem here should not be overlooked. It is horrendous. I'll place blame with NEA types who put fast fat food in the lunch rooms, cancel daily phys. ed for PC reasons and then wonder why kids are fat? Duh.
