LOL thats awesome, i fear this thread will be moved to a less popular forum though.

I think America living in a constant state or fear is considered good for business.

Hilarious video!
God bless America

they are using the same tactic as the media...they pick and choose the clips they want...some journalists are calmer about it while others think its more of a big deal...

Yeah but us brits love a good laugh at our American cousins expense

Very funny and while obviously selective clips were used, the point is actually valid - UK & US news really are two very different beasts.

Americans will never be able to eat spaghetti again.

I did giggle at the video, which is rare. I have a weird sense of humour. But when it hits our shores, not sure I'll still be laughing. America has a right to go a bit OTT. It's there already.

Oh man, thanks for this, really needed that laugh, probably my favorite Russell Howard clip

a reply to: Lady_Tuatha

That was classic. Thanks I really needed a good laugh today ant that covered it. For all our British friends who may not know, 2 40's is a reference to 40oz malt liquor. Cheap beer that usually leads to a headache but will get you messed up pretty fast

ha ha ha
laughed so hard my side cramped!!!

thank you for the thread.

ha ha ha ha oh man!

look out for that ebola @ss!

I am saying this since the beginning of this, I have the feeling that the US people are somehow real sissies.
They always want to be depicted as real man with their guns etc. but somehow the USA is a country that constantly lives in fear of everything.
They should just man up and handle it like adults and not like little girls.

That Ebolassghetti.

watch out for it.

I went an found the link to the Soccer player story..LOL

I don't have ebola

He deleted the tweet, and now claims to be a hoaxster. LOL

a reply to: nrd101

Aww its absolutely ridiculous that people associated him with ebola just because of his name lol regardless if it was a fake account of not,

Where does it say he's a hoaxer I cant find it?

We Brits should all place our Ebola hats in quarantine before this goes to our heads.

In the UK they'll report the apocalypse in deadpan.

Shrugs.

From the B.B.C.news;

"Police wish to interview a horned man seen wearing a red costume and carrying a pitchfork.
They believe he may be able to help them with their inquiries".

Hilarious! You Americans have a bit of a reputation here anyway already
