The Americans are coming!

The Americans are coming!
At some point in a colonial rebellion in the 18th century a cowardly rebel named Paul Revere spotted the arrival of the brave British army to restore order and promptly ran for the hills yelping about how the “British were coming”.
Now if you believe the American press, our turn to be invaded has arrived and what they amusingly entitle “operation teabag” is about to commence.
A simple look at the figures shows that we are up against the wall. They have about three times as many citizens as ourselves, so our survival as a free nation may depend upon our allies rushing to our aid.
If our attempts to remain free fail, what can the average Briton do to survive as part of the greater United States. Perhaps we should make the effort to understand cousins from across the pond. Hopefully the guidance below should help you understand our invaders more successfully.
Obesity
Americans are fat. You will be more successful in the eUSA if you are also fat. Change your profile picture to a picture of someone fat and eat constantly until the invaders arrive to assume the American mindset more successfully.
Simplicity
Americans are simple-minded people. It’s best if you stop believing in rational scientifically proven events such as evolution now and put it all down to being God’s will. If you ever find yourself confused by the goings on of the world around you, wy not wave an American flag and shout “USA” repeatedly.
Sports
American sports are much derided as being bizarre and out if step with the rest of the world. They aren’t. They are just dumbed down versions of established European games (see simplicity). If you apply the following conversions then your understanding will increase.
Nascar = Formula 1. But on a big oval to remove any element of skill from the contest.
American Football = Rugby. But with armour because the Americans are scared of mud and bruises.
Ice Hockey = Figure skating. But with armour and sticks instead of tutus.
Basketball = Netball.
Baseball = Rounders. A game played by 9 year old school kids in Britain and no-one else. Ever.
Inbreeding
In some American states I think it is mandatory to have intercourse with your cousins. It is unclear whether this policy would be exported to us, but my cousin is kind of cute…
Religion
The American version of god seems to spend most of his time hating liberals, gays, environmental activisists and anyone who doesn’t fit in. The british version of god wears a cardigan, and doesn’t give a toss what we do so long as he can go back to sleep and not be disturbed.
Music
Apparently Americans invented modern music. Therefore all the bands you love should thank America for their existence. Fine. I’ll accept this. However any nation that can inflict Billy Ray Cyrus upon the world needs to be stopped.
For this reason alone, I advocate resisting any American incursion until the last man.
The Snooper’s advice is that you buy youself a gun and stand ready to kill rednecks.

xD Awesome
ITT: an ignorant Brit who thinks RL = eRep.
Brizzly = Amerifag who cant take ciritcism
@George Norfolk:
To be fair, it's not so much "criticism" as it is just insults. However, it is true, and very f*cking funny.
I'm sorry George, did I hurt your feelings?
Brilliant, more yanks to shoot!
@ BrizzlyBear:
What? I was expecting some humourous comeback to what George had to say, but all you can reply with is asking if YOU hurt HIS feelings? Go home please.

The point that I was trying to get across was the only response I got to my first post was that I was an "Amerifag". Honestly I didn't really expect more than that, but I hoped for something a little better. So why respond with something that actually takes thought?
The truth is, this article isn't even insulting, just childish; and since we all love to bring RL into eRep I suppose I'll state a few facts while I'm here.
Obesity - I'm sure all of you know who Mr. Winston Churchill is. Was he not overweight himself? Does this mean all of the eUK is fat?
No.
Simple-minded - I won't stoop to this level.
Sports - American sports are bizzare and out of step with the rest of the world? Hockey and Basketball are both Olympic events.
Nascar is a shit excuse for a sport, I will give you that.
Inbreeding - Is to my knowledge outlawed in almost every American state, and is disgusting.
Religion - I'm an atheist so I could care less.
Music - One of my favorite bands is from the UK so I have nothing to say for this, except for anyone who considers Billy Ray Cyrus to be a musician should have their ears chopped off.
lol 100x
It's a funny story. Most of us realize that eRep is an escapism from the thing you couldn't do in RL.
So..yeahh, come on england!! Invite the americans to wembley, the Basillica St. Peter of football (football, not soccer). And tell them, "No, in this life, i won't follow you!!"
lol cheers everyone, it is a joke 😃
Yeah, American sports are weird ones; everyone outside the UK knows and cares about what cricket is...>_>
I don't know either about cricket. But, about a billion india's and hundred million pakistani, and most of the commonwealth do care
Personally I have nothing against anyone from the UK, I'm a firm believer that if you take a hot chick and give her a British accent then she's automatically 10x hotter. But come on guys, you can make way better insults.
i wish i could vote and sub to this more than once.
Come on BrizzlyBear, is just a joke article with added spices here and there. You take it too seriously. It's not like eAmericans didn't do any bad jokes and insults. Lighten up a bit
Thanks for all your comments guys. I hope you had as much fun reading my article as I did writing it.
Seems like I caught myself a nice american fish with my first article.
>brizzlybear,
Get over yourself, it was just a joke
