I’ve come to the conclusion that this is the reason why grudges about all Americans being stupid, ignorant, stuck up, and all of the above exists.
Who said David Beckham’s arrival in America would attract no attention? Not only has the erstwhile galactico and England captain made it onto the US equivalent of GMTV and elicited praise from Sly Stallone, he’s attracted the attention of Jayceon Taylor, aka gangster rapper The Game.
Showing a not entirely cohesive understanding of the game Americans call soccer, the South Central-based rapper (Beckham’s new side, LA Galaxy, is his local club!) was not entirely effusive about the arrival of the face of Gillette razors in his hood.
“I’d kick David Beckham’s ass on any given day,” the Game said when asked about Beckham. “I’d just pick the ball up and kick the shit out of the stadium, game over.”
Quite whether the Game’s expletive was referring to the ball, Beckham, or simply the action he was planning to take against LA Galaxy’s Home Depot Center remains to be seen. But The Game was on less steady ground when a follow-up question was put his way.
When asked his thoughts on Beckham’s ability as a footballer he responded simply: “Pretty good”. [guardian]
Dear rest of the world,
All Americans are not like this. Please don’t let our piece of crap version of popular culture influence you. I dislike this junk just as much as you guys do. There are some of us who look past it and enjoy other things in life that is not related to MTV, reality TV, and tabloid media.
This guy, on the other hand, is a moron. Feel free to rip on him.
Thank you.
You’d be amazed at how many people here in Chiner believe that America is truly what they see on their favorite TV shows…such as, Desperate Housewives, Prison Break, 24, and a variety of movies that stain the cinemas.
We are all corrupt…we cheat on our wives…we are made of money…LOADS of money…and we like to bully people constantly. I sometimes look at my job here and think, ‘this is WHY I am here…to dispel all those myths.’
