Now some lighter stuff on Osama.
Kirsty MacColl sang about a guy that worked down the chip shop that swears he’s Elvis, but what chance that any pop singer will want to commemorate the tale of the Colombian parking attendant that dresses like Osama bin Laden to music?
Hasmet Hichster Londono has been dressing like the former al-Qaeda leader for seven years and is ‘armed’ with a replica gun at all times.
True.In the eyes of some Indians,at least in my view, Americans are well-meaning but they tend to goof up and has a knack of earning a bad name despite doing good.
They also tend to assume responsibility for the world, blissfully totally uninterested in the running of their country.
Brash businessmen, seeming to be be interested in money, but hides within them their caring nature.
Despite projections to the contrary(promoted by Hollywood and pulp fiction ,made in USA, of course) , seem to be Family oriented.
From individuals I have come across, they are in a sort of confusion as to their identity in terms of cultural Heritage.
They are misunderstood because of their propensity to get embroiled in simple, unwanted World affairs, complicate the issues further, leaving the world and USA red in the face.
Likable,endearing,overbearing,loud and essentially good human beings.
Story:
. “But what we were surprised and, honestly, a little delighted to find is that Americans’ short attention spans, simplemindedness, and inability to articulate a coherent idea can actually make them pretty lovable.”
“It’s hard to describe,” Dixon continued. “It’s just all these little quirks they have. And after a month or two of observation, they kind of start to grow on you.”
….
Although the study documented numerous cases of adult Americans throwing tantrums, wasting valuable resources, taking their clothing off at live music or sporting events, and littering, researchers said they have determined conclusively that these habits in fact actually add to the people’s charm.
“They do this other thing in public sometimes where they’ll keep shouting the same stuff over and over again for no reason whatsoever,” Dixon said. “And it’s really fascinating, because according to our findings, not a single one of them even knows what it is they’re shouting. They just like the sound of their own voice, I guess.”
Added Dixon, with a chuckle, “The goofy bastards.”
….A large section of the 380-page study was devoted to examining the personal appearances of Americans, which researchers described as either very drab or unusually provocative, depending on the subject, but in all cases “undeniably amusing to look at.”.
….
Anthropologist Loren Martinez, who analyzed the eating habits of Americans, said she was dismayed by early evidence suggesting the study’s participants completely avoided food with any nutritional value, but was quickly won over after witnessing their enthusiasm for cookies.
“The way they had chocolate chips and crumbs smeared all over their faces as they wolfed down plate after plate of cookies kind of made me smile,” Martinez said. “Because it was just so them, you know? You just have to love anyone who feels no shame about stuffing a second cookie into their mouth while they’re still chewing on the first.”
According to field data, individual Americans also possess a winning ability to ignore the problems plaguing the nation and content themselves with sitting down in front of a television and drinking an entire six-pack of Coors Light while watching people dance.
