Today, while watching The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh with my 5 year-old, I realized why the kangaroo's name is Kanga, and why her son's name is Roo. Kanga-Roo. Get it? Yeah. I didn't until today. I'm 47. FML

Did your brain melt, #56? From what I remember of simple math, 47-5=42. Unless the laws of simple subtraction changed, in which case 47-5=38. ...But I don't believe they have...

Ugh, I hate when people say stuff like this. It's not cute when you're a teenager then it's not cute when you're 47. "I just realized IHOP is an ACRONYM!!! Not a name!!!" Get over it, it's not an FML. It's not even something worth talking about.

Oh **** you, you can't judge an entire country's people. Believe me or not, we don't share a single mind.

Sure, some Americans are complete morons (the OP and everyone else who didn't get Kanga and Roo) but not all of us are. Don't perpetuate the stereotype and people will stop living up to it.

Ok, really? You did NOT just say that. You probably haven't even been to America, so how can you judge us? Sure, some of us can be a little dim, but that's true in EVERY culture. I live in America, and I happen to know way more smart Americans than dumb ones.

Think about this asshole, the VAST majority of the inventions that have changed the WORLD have come from America. How can you explain that if we are all so ******* stupid?

Your a jackass. People are so quick to insult Americans, yet whenever your country needs any type of help, you all come crawling back to America because we have all the money and military power. So to lun8423, please stfu.

How would you like it if someone read your post and used it as a basis for saying all non-Americans are rude and judgmental? Sweeping generalizations make you sound like you don't know what you're talking about. Think before posting, please.

lol @ 75. so if we stop calling you dumb *****, you'll be smarter ? i don't quite see how that works. all the americans going into a rage here are soo precious.

First, it's American. It's a proper now. Second, your second sentence has unnecessary commas in it. It should read: "It seems that many are either dumb as wood or too busy with other things to even notice stuff like this". If you're going to insult us, please do so correctly. Besides, who cares if she didn't notice something as small as this? Yeah, she's probably busy with "other things" 'cause she has a ******* kid, dumbass, and doesn't have time to sit on her ass all day and watch TV. To Pteronophobia, if you're also going to assume that all Americans are dumb, I'm going to assume that you have hairy armpits because you're French. Please shut up and go shave.

You're correcting people's grammar, 277 and you wrote 'proper now' instead of 'proper noun'?! Jesus on a bun! Don't give that douche any additional fodder for his prejudices.
