I don’t know if this is actually by John Cleese or not. I could google it but I really don’t care, it’s funny and poigniant regardless: To The Citizens Of The United States Of America
6. You should stop playing American “football”. There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American “football” is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays “American” football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game.
It’s not anti-American, it’s suitably, pompously, supra-American (I made that word up). So much so you’d almost think it was written by a Canadian, except that we can’t tell the difference between a British and Australian accent either. And we’re not so fond of Tony Blair.
(I apologize in advance to our American overlords.)
