This article reads like it was written by a college student who can't grasp that there is a difference between being edgy and just being a dick.

So when is the "I'm ashamed to be an American" fashion line coming out? All the kids would buy it. We should hurry up before it becomes cliché!

I consider lack of Kinder Eggs to be our darkest secret. Along with the absence of heated Mr. Brown Coffee vending machines.

If I was exiled to Russia, I might feel the same way.

I can’t get to the page. My guess is it was censored by the Nazis who run our government, which I’m guessing is reasons 2, 6 and 14.

And since we’re in a police state (reason #7), I’ll probably soon disappear for saying so.

That was kind of their point.

Well, it's the eXile, so the main point was to bluster and offend, but the whole failure-of-democracy thing was a sort of weakly spoken secondary point.

Ah, found some copies floating around elsewhere.

Fairly meh as these things go.
