and im not misunderstanding your post, you just not being very objective when you use words like 'worship'. you and i both know before i goto bed i pray to brad and angelina; that is right after i beat my metaphorical child silly, and drag homeless people out of hospitals.

Did you even read that post? He was specifically responding to someone (from Canada I will add) who was talking to celebrity worship so him using the word worship was completely fair. What's funny though is since he was responding to a Canadian living in Canada, his post would have been referring to Canada, not America. Either way he was specifically describing what the attitude towards celebrities is in Norway, his post had little to do with Canada (and nothing at all to do with America.)

if norway was so oblivious to celebrity gossip, then how do you know that we care so much about ours, or about the subject at all? did you write your thesis on american behavior?
|
Because someone specifically stated there was a lot of celebrity worship over here (which there is. You'd be stupid to deny that,)

i also find it hard to believe that norway doesnt follow celebrity gossip of any sort, in fact i imagine they sell british and us gossip magazines there...which is possibly worse.

When was your last trip to Norway? Which region did you visit? How long were you there?

if you made comments about how america differs from norway then it would be one thing, but you dont.

Funny the comment you get all pissy about was specifically talking about the differences between Norway and Canada.

you make condescending comments about how norway is better than america, under the guise of 'objectivity'.

Where has he? So far you're getting angry about him talking about a study of America (in a completely different thread)and him talking about the differences between Canada and Norway. You're the one who brought America into the discussion.

Now you're just being silly. Americans are so egotistical.
