“Well, let’s just see where this goes…”
~Johnny Roosevelt, AFFotD Editor-in-Chief
AFFotD loves America, which is why our coverage of all things American have been so well received. We’ve won the Pulitzer or some shit like that, but we’ve always stayed true to our roots, and that is being your go-to source for all things that are great about America. And like the half-blind Seabiscuit jockey kept telling us in that Spiderman movie, with great power comes great responsibility.
It’s with that intrepid spirit that we make a point to check what other so-called reputable publications say about America. While these often bring us to the precipice of homicidal rage, we try to keep an open mind while educating Americans what really matters about their country.
That’s why, when GQ decided to write an article called “50 Things America Does Better Than Anyone Anywhere Else” we were cautiously optimistic, if for no other reason than the fact that we approved of their questionable grammatical syntax. So we figured we’d give this list the benefit of the doubt, and run through it blind, only interjecting when we strongly agree or disagree with GQ’s assertions of the particular item’s “Americanness.”
So here goes nothing. Civility is the name of the game.
