What Do You Think of This Blog Post?

Question by Alyx: What do you think of this blog post?
The United States is known by many as the greatest country on Earth, the land of opportunity. We have everything here: Freedom of speech, Obama, democracy, and multiple fast food restaurants in every city. Home to the homeless, rich cocaine addicts, Republicans and Democrats, and most obese humans on the planet. Although we’re most often recognized for being well-fed.
But every place has to be recognized for something, right? When one thinks of France, an image of a hairy French woman smoking a cigg is thought of. When one thinks of Ethiopia, we think of a sad looking, but adorable malnourished black boy. When Amsterdam comes to mind, a man smoking a blunt on a sidewalk is pictured. When Mexico is thought of, we don’t even see any Mexicans. We think of an elementary school janitor. In the USA. Who is Mexican.
All of us Americans know that when say, a European, thinks of America, he thinks of an obese balding man wearing a wife-beater hunched over a half pounder in the hospitalization-inducing place we call McDonald’s. The man is loud and obnoxious; he is making a mess. His jeans are too low to conceal the sight of his pale butt crack, much to everyone’s dismay. He is eating at an odd pace, one you would expect only from a starving Ethiopian. He is slurring his words; he is an idiot.
That’s the rest of the world’s image of our country. But of course we are fine with it. At least we’re not Ethiopian. It’s not like we don’t see this scene all the time. This stereotypical fat man is not a myth, but rather an unnoticed wallflower we have gotten used to. No use getting worked up over everyone making this man the icon for all Americans. He’s probably attention starved anyway.
Every once in a while we engage in our icon’s behavior, too. We have to, that’s how we show the appreciation of our beloved USA. Today, I had four large brownies for breakfast. To wash it down, I had a Coke. Later for lunch, I had sodium-jammed Cup Noodles. Finally, for dinner, I went to Taco Bell and consumed a greasy Chalupa in no less than a minute and thirty seconds. Throughout the whole day, I surely walked less than a thousand steps. No one has reprimanded me for this. It is normal. I mean, I AM American.
Gotta love this country.
