Apparently, a bunch of sappy crybaby Americans put up a site to announce their sympathy and compassion for London after the recent attacks - characterizing themselves as Londoners and London as "hurt." To which every Londoner with the interweb has apparently replied, "Sod off, bollocks to you, you ain't us and we got this."
Which is good. Things are shitty here because it's these types of goofball Americans that feel a need to complain/talk/whine/babber/mouth-diarrhea about anything at all always are, and every nonsense opinion - Creationism, misguided troop-supporting, bilingual education, increased federal power, tighy whities - is given credence. These are the Americans With Nothing To Do, and they are allowed, too often, to speak for everyone. In this country, no one tells them to shut the hell up. Hopefully, other nations won't tolerate this nonsense, it'll become a contagion, and our kids can grow up getting judged for their actions and efforts in a country the speaks English and respects intelligence, instead of a quota-based, faith-based, Spanish-speaking supernation called "Amexico 4000, brought to you by the love of the Christ." Sponsored by Pepsi and your local State Farm agent.
So, thankfully, not only have a bunch of Brits rejected the unsolicited sympathies of some empty Americans, but they've sone it in style. Dig it. The "official" blog is always updating, but highlights of the Brit reaction are found here.
Sorry about the rant.
