Michael Moore: All American?

Today, in the bathroom, I thought that even though Michael Moore is more anti-American than France (sorry Frenchie[Alexi]. I just couldn’t help myself.), he really is all-American according to World [European] standards of American. Now, to prove myself.
- Michael Moore is a slob. When you picture Michael Moore, don’t you think unshaven, messy hair, baggy clothes? Am I right?
- Michael Moore is rude and inconsiderate. Okay, even though he is a Bush basher, that’s not what I’m talking about. Google “Michael Moore” under images. The results will be lots of pictures of him making a loser sign, hands in the camera, mocking the US flag, etc. We have all watched his movies. There are some drastically wrong statistics, but they are entertaining. In Bowling for Columbine, he is rude. American style rude.
- He’s fat. That isn’t a really nice thing to say, nor does it make a good point, but I have world-wide contacts (Germany, Brazil, France, Poland, Japan, Australia, Finland, S. Korea). If there is one thing to agree on, it is this: The American stereotype is fat. You’ve watched the James Bond movies with the American guy in it, right? He’s eating a doughnut, is a red neck, and is fat.
- He’s obnoxious. Americans are known for that. Making a stink about nothing. Have you ever watched the Amazing Race? All those people explode and reinforce the idea of rude, ungracious, obnoxious Americans. I look at them and feel embarrassed for my country.
I think that I proved my point pretty well. Talk to a German, they’ll tell you I’m right. The other day I watched some news special on what the world thinks of us Americans. They acted like it was a new revelation. I was like, “Oh, please. This is not news. This is old.” But I’m glad they did it. Maybe it opened some eyes. More likely it offended.
