    Imagine that this wasn't completely satirical

    and this would be the serious view of foreigners on Americans

    Most Canadians and Europeans will probably think this video is authentic news footage

    Canadian here, and I know the onion well. Then again I surf digg like a mother looking for her lost child on the interwebs.

    What's not fake news is Red Eye.
    Although I'm not as pissed off as everyone else out here, because a) its fox. b) its on at 2am. c) 2 of them have tried to cross the border since the showing and haven't been allowed in Canada hahah which I find much more humorous.

    Usually the first thing I hear from a European who has just recently arrived in the US is how much safer it is than he'd expected. Apparently some of them really do think there's violence in the streets and everyone's packing an assault rifle.

    Thats because people buy into stereotypes. And the American stereotype is that they are violent and dumb.

    And I LOVE the Onion
