In Which England Learns to Love the NFL
Brits may not like our version of football, but they are powerless to resist our objectification of women:
THEY’LL [sic] be a little bit of America at Wembley this Sunday when the New Orleans Saints face-off against the San Diego Chargers for only the second ever NFL game played outside of the US.
So to celebrate this and to make our cousins from across the pond feel at home we’ve decided to do a slideshow on that other great American invention, cheerleaders!
Said slideshow is available at the link above, but I prefer this one. And while we’re talking about American inventions, how ’bout the power of flight? Does that do anything for ya?

Nice Tenacious D reference!

Caveman, you can fly?
That’s much better than my friends. One’s a midget, and the other think the Lord of the Rings is real. Together, we call ourselves the Unfuckables.

That’s levitation, Holmes.

I don’t remember Dr. Who being that sexy. Or good, for that matter.

@ Deux Deux Deux: I know a Dave Attell reference when I see one.

DDD:
Nice Dave Atell reference

But what about the power… to move you?
October 24th, 2008 at 2:58 pm

I prefer both slide shows.

I wanna be the turtle.

I absolutely can’t believe they missed the opportunity to do a re-created Abbey Road album cover shot with those four chicks. C’mon! London. 4 of them. Their tits are almost as big as Ringo’s! It’s a no-brainer…

Yeah, but England probably invented hooliganism. And you gotta respect that.
October 24th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Inside the phone booths you will find, as always, four small Englishmen furiously stroking four small, yellow, crooked cocks.
I love England.

Think the NFL will be surprised again when they find that London in late October can be cold, rainy and dark? Or that when the turf (normally used by 160-pound soccer players) will be ripped up into a sloppy mud pit and the game will be a boring, low-scoring affair that won’t capture the imaginations of foreign audiences? Mexico City was a better idea than London. Toronto is a better idea than London.

@ken dynamo, yes, 3rd regular season game played outside the US

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!!

God, I miss Benny Hill. Those cheerleaders are just begging to be chased around comically by a dirty old man to “Yakety Sax”.

Well, most London phone booths are pretty much wallpapered with graphic images for phone sex companies, so that’s probably likely.

How about buildings that aren’t drafty requiring a fireplace in every room to keep it warm as an American invention?
And fake boobs!!!
WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
October 24th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Pip pip, cheerio. Damn you, London chill. We want some skin!
/Pan down!

While we’re on the “…that other great American invention…” subject, how ’bout musical forms:
Rock & Roll, Blues, Country, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Thrash Metal and Hip-Hop.

@Gino:
And don’t forget Tom Landry’s favorite… SHOW TUNES!
October 24th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
@Gino:
Hello? The Beatles invented rock & roll, everyone knows that! With heavy influence from the Monkees.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
I’ve been misunderestimating the contributions of Herman’s Hermits and The Dave Clark Five.
October 24th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
WWSM-
Is that per phone booth? Because that would be awkward.

Another good American invention was called winning world war II for your pasty asses.
October 25th, 2008 at 12:13 am
Can’t believe you’re still taking credit for World War 2.
Turning up 3 years late World War 1 + turning up 2 years late for World War 2 = Nothing to be fucking proud of.
And it was the Soviets who beat the Germans anyway.

Another good American invention is called talking right.

Ummm, yeah…..I’m gonna have to go ahead and say Fuck You here….

Lez – are you a commie sympathizer?
October 25th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Next time you can just defend yourselves, then.
/laughs, then laughs harder/
Ha, just kidding. We’ll save your asses again. Just for practice.

Wrong? Much? A lot of people here love the NFL, they just don’t have the chance to see it live unless they fly 13 hours to see it. I live Stateside now in Louisiana and went home for the game but don’t knock them. The atmosphere was amazing.
