What is it about the British?
I was going to come on here and write about some semi-serious issues, like something about non-commitment and its negative impacts on our lives, but then, the New York Times had to post this article Finding Nemo release
about drunken Britons and how they’re destroying the world.
Ok, so maybe not that extreme, but some of these stories just seem too “good” to be true! Listen to these:
…flying home to Manchester from the Greek island of Kos, a pair of drunken women yelling “I need some fresh air” attacked the flight attendants with a vodka bottle and tried to wrestle the airplane’s emergency door open at 30,000 feet.
Now putting aside my long-standing beliefs about how opening the window doesn’t at all guarantee that the air will be “fresher,” that still makes me chuckle. But just listen to this one:
[A] 20-year-old British tourist partied with her sister and a friend into the early hours in Malia also in July, then returned to her hotel room and — although she had denied being pregnant — gave birth.
Even the British Consulate people think that they’ve got issues:
“…they have so much to drink that they fall off balconies and are either killed or need huge operations.”
But don’t worry. It’s really not so bad, say the tourists themselves. After all…
“I’ve never seen anyone get stabbed the whole time I’ve been here,” said Chris Robinson, 21, speaking outside the Loft bar, which had a special deal: four drinks and two shots for $8.
It’s all too funny.creating a world aeon flux movie
