“We’re not strange, YOU’RE strange, shut up internet.”
~AFFotD Staffers
When we want to say that something is, without fail, awesome, we refer to that thing as an “American Tradition.” Seriously, when have you ever heard of “American Tradition” being used in a bad way? Baseball is an American tradition, fake birth certificates are not. Fireworks are an American Tradition, and hand reconstruction surgery is improving each and every year. If something has been deemed an American Tradition, that’s like America’s version of the hall of fame (we’d like to introduce this year’s recipient to our American Tradition list: Playing beer pong using mixed drinks when you run out of beer but want to keep playing).
It is with this in mind that we have to bring your attention to yet another site that is trying to besmirch America with their “articles.” You know what this means, it’s time for us to take a massive shit on someone else’s writing.
Today’s recipient of our ire is the website “HowStuffWorks” for their egregious slideshow (eww, slideshow?) about “10 Strange American Traditions.” Umm, asshats, is being awesome strange, because that’s the only way we can make heads or tails out of your article’s title. These 10 American activities have been chosen because the writers here think that other nations would find them “strange at best.” Which means that they totally named this article the wrong thing. It should be called “10 American Traditions That Prove That Every Other Country Is Doing It Wrong.”
Hold us back, Internet. Hold us back…
