Well, I have been thinking about it im2smart4u, and their are many different reasons. First we feel the need to be different from the U.S. It is just who we are. Many European countries think we are the same, who we try to convince them (and ourselves) otherwise. Also: We don't have a negative view on America, we just poke fun of them (which you do to us). Just look at Family Guy, Steven Colbert, etc. Finally, it was just one thing, it doesn't necessarily count for 100% of the population. I mean, I don`t think America is a bad place.
