Right.

Please. I mean, seriously. I said as a joke when the first person made a dumb comment on kissycat1000's post in the adayinmylife community, "I bet they're American."

Needless to say, I was right. Now, remembering the numbers of American people online to English people online, you'd expect there to be a number of dumb commenters, some of which were from America. But seriously.

This one talks about the price of petrol (gas) in DOLLARS PER GALLON, AND THEN IN THE SAME COMMENT TALKS ABOUT DIFFERENT COUNTRIES!!!!!1111oneoneelevenWTFBBQZOMG!

Then as if you needed further evidence, look no further than this comment, in response to this thread.

Erm.

America, in this instance, I'm sorry you bothered getting out of bed this morning :/

To be fair to the Americans, part of the problem is that a PC and Internet connection are far more affordable and ubiquitous there than here. We have plenty of idiots in the UK, too, just fewer of them are on the net.

Even so, it's my experience that many people in the USA are very parochial, possibly dangerously so. The situation's bad enough in major cities and along the coast; out in the boondocks it gets quite scary.

I realised all this when I made the post, but even so, the post seemed to be literally bogged down with having to explain to the stupid people, at which point I decided to rant about it because I could hardly believe my eyes.
