I think your all missing the main issue here...
American's don't get iron?

The is a disaster of epic proportions ready to devastate a nation. I am going to write my Premiere now and demand Canada send all its supplemental iron to those needy Americans.

What will you do?

Of course i saw cultural differences Kazanne, i never said I didn't see cultural differences, what i said was that I think it's unfair to say Americans don't understand irony or sarcasm like Katie Hopkins says, this is the "humour" she refers to

Humour is even very different between Scottish and English people. Different cultures = different humour

No... it's like rain on your wedding day, a free ride when you're already there.

Who would have thought? It figures.

a difference, yes, but to say yanks don't get irony/sarcasm is an old stereotype that's not true at all, but it also depends where you were, the circumstances..etc

I don't really care what she has to say to be honest I think she's a pathetic individual. But if you are going to get offended about this you might wanna ring up the producers of family guy and tell them to stop making british people have wonky teeth and speak like cockneys cos it's a 'stereotype'.

The Sun must be very desperate to pay her to insult their clients on a daily basis.

Michelles an interesting one isn't she. Initially I wanted her to win. She's got this incredibly hard looking face when she's got her make-up on and she makes out that she says it like it is. I really thought she was going to be quite a formidable character. I now see her as the weakest and most apathetic person in the house. She's Katie Hopkins glove puppet who occasionally rises to remarks she can use for her own gain within the gay community. She's the true definition of arse licker.

Yeah, she's by far the one I was most disappointed in. I really liked the idea of her and wanted to like her

I agree. My best friend is from Baltimore and when we get together we do a lot of laughing. Perhaps it depends where you are from in America?

lol, that one goes way back too.

It was interesting reading some site threads from American viewers after her Fat documentary aired on a US channel a few weeks back. Gotta say there was plenty of humour posted about her and it translated well to me.

Still game, Rab C Nesbit loved by all. Equally Fawlty Towers, Rising Damp, Only Fools, Open all Hours.

Tosh. UK humour is understood by all. Just not the new crap.
