Hugh Laurie on BBC
My first impression when I first watched this was that I felt offended. But I couldn't put my finger on why I was offended, at first. I watched it a couple more times. That's when I realized that BBC was portraying Americans as self-absorbed and underdressed. By the gentleman at the end coming in in a suite, it only pushes that sentiment even further.
I come from a very patriotic and proud family. It pains me to think that other countries see our country like that. I blame the people in this country who do not appreciate what this country has to offer and feels that they are owed something for this, and I wish that other countries would realize that that's only a small part of our population.
I see the british actor really hurt your patriotic feeling. Sometimes people tend to magnify other people's small problems and think they are much worse that they really are. I found his manner extremely unpleasant, too. The video clip wasn't funny for me, either eventhough I'm not an american.
