MORe ON MericA

i think i musta been real drunk or hung over yesterday because, when i look back at my own editorial i totes disagree.
The stereotypes associated with americans have low brow connotations. But since when was trusting stereotypes or being proud of such things normal behavior. I doubt the pols think of themselves as dumb, nor do the french see themselves as stripe shirted bastards, nor the brits think theyre really fuckin ugly. But the asians def think theyre all intelligent as a motherfucker.
Anyways in America the appreciation of the low brow and cheap is plentiful but thats not completely appalling. In enjoying the silly mundane and trashy we have opened our arms to the estranged , the poor, and the ignorant and reminded them that it is not hard nor always expensive to act like an american.
If u cant afford Bud theres always busch

But with that said theres some sick american classy things, especially in the arts. Which is not to say that makin technology is not mad clutch as it makes everyday tasks cooler, but whether it makes them simpler, easier and our lives happier is def still up for debate
