stuf all of you! america sux! i am proud to be northern irish. american people are all FAT! (and ugly!

Heh, this made me laugh.

Offensive? No. Painful to listen to? Yes.

 

[JonnyB]

I'm offended by it's lameness, would it have killed them to make it a montage of pictures? Just a waving flag is boring. Otherwise it's not offensive at all.


Oh and the people who post comments on YouTube are mostly ********. Ignore them.

 

[colontos]

How could anyone find this offensive? I'm American, and I certainly wouldn't be offended by someone from another country doing something similar. I might even like it.

Folding the flag is taking care of the nation;
Folding the flag is putting it to bed for the night;
I fell through a hole in the flag,
I'm falling through a hole in the flag;

Not offensive, just comical.

 

[Fëanor]

Exactly what is supposed to Be offensive? i don't like the music, lyrics or "Video" but its far from offensive.

That's easily the most offensive thing I've ever seen.

PS: Reading YouTube comments is the lowest possible activity that any human being can engage in. Have some self-respect!

 

[thetrooper]

European. Not offensive.

I did not bother to watch more than 30 seconds though.

 

[Volum]

not offensive.

But the song was just bad.

 

[REDY]

I think thats only anti-american sentiment. If someone posted video that he is American and he is proud on it, the comments should be same. However I havent finished watching.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Youtube comment are the bastion of stupidity. You shouldn't even bother with them.

But no, there's nothing offensive here.

 

[Grisu]

just read the comments, most of the people that post youtube comments are complete morons, and that goes for euros as well as for the americans that posted there

the video is not offending, just boring

 

[Tycoon101]

That's easily the most offensive thing I've ever seen.

True, it needs more Bush!

I have to agree with that, as well.

 

[storealex]

Not offensive. But I think blind faith and worship of ones nation is undesireable.

 

[QuoVadisNation]

The video would have been better had it just been the song without the terrible flash.

Rather trite, though.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

While searching for the lyrics to the song, I found this:

(turn the sound on only if you are not suicidal)

I feel like crying now, what an intensly sad midi

 

[Grohan]

I stopped watching that video as soon as I saw that wavering american flag. It's stupid like all that patriotic crap but it's not offensive.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

A flag doesn't a country make.
Odd sequence of words in a sentence does not wisdom make.

It's the people who make the country.

We are so screwed.

 

[Atlas14]

I don't understand why this video would be offensive.
