I can't believe people didn't know these guys aren't american

[Noon]

Wow, American's are so up their own arse they think anything good must be produce of USA. Seriously, Hugh Laurie? He's done one thing as an American, how could you not have seen him before? Christian Bale, just cause you wish you had the best Batman.

Best one of all - Jesus! lol

Yeah, the bible was set in New York if I remember right

[arachnid-guy]

....stupid list. But, hey. :o

[chamber-music]

The thing is I can actully believe some over those hardcore christian people from the south believing jesus was a white american. The irony is alot of them are most likey cursing arabs for the whole terrorism thing and praying jesus destroys them and not realising jesus was an arab.

[The Evolutionist]

I have to say that when I found out about Hugh Laurie (a few years ago) I was surprised.

[November Rain]

on a reverse note, i didn't realise till recently that gweneth paltrow wasn't a brit...

she plays brits so damn well...

:confused:

The one that I thought was funny was the spot with all the great comedians from the early 90s who turned out to be Canadian!

that makes sense though, since everyone laughs at Canadia.

Ledger is a Aussie, playing greatest villain all time, they forgot that but who cares where an actor is from.

[The Chairman]

I often forget that Michael J. Fox is Canadian.

How could anyone not know that Led Zeppelin was British? That one is genuinely stupid unless you don't know anything about them in the first place.

But yeah, Uncle Sam as a character has been around since the War of 1812, just the famous poster was modeled after the British one. And everyone uses that pose, there are plenty of Soviet ones like that two. If you're going for edgy fresh middle Americans are ignorant humor at least pick only the real things (like 3/4 of every cast of SNL is Canadian) that people for some reason don't realize.

Also, the concept of depicting Jesus as white is common to all of Europe and is an art historical issue, it has nothing to do with "Ugh dumb Americans :whatever:".

[Ahura Mazda]

That list was a farce for the most part with the exception of Laurie (he did play in Black Adder on the BBC), the SNL case, the Sutherlands, and Neil Young.

The points made by the Spice Master directly above are well stated :up:

[Super_Ludacris]

No Suprises..

I never said americans are dumb. I know that europeans depicting jesus as Caucasian has happened for centuries, I was sayig I'm sure a few of those hardcore christian people in the south still believe that he was white.

Only wrong thing though is, he may not have been white/caucasian but what is Arab today wasn't what it was all those years ago. That whole area of the world has drastically changed throughout the entire history of mankind. There have been so many conquerors and armys taking over and screwing things up for the longest time. Read about the Monguls, they are a prime example.

I didn't mean you were, but that was the gist of the article's comedic intent. The author didn't really seem to be trying by the end.

[DorkyFresh]

what a crappy list. i wouldn't even call Uncle Sam and Jesus "celebrities". out of the real celebrities, though, i knew all except 2 of them were NOT American.


:down with the list

[bullets]

[Leto Atrides]

I guess if you've only seen Begins and American Psycho (which is true for many people) you'd think he was American.
