Perhaps a little over the top with their comments, but this line is funny:
The presenters then described Mexican food as "sick with cheese on it". In their Viet Nam road show, Hammond couldn't even stomach Vietnamese food. Noodles and veggies? Com'on. The British aren't valid reference points for many things, food being one of them. Sherwood |

Brit's always trip themselves up when they leave their country.
Except that Hillary guy, he did well.

At least the brits have the balls to make jokes like that. Wouldn't happen in our pathetic PC wonderland.

People need to stop taking themselves so seriously. I like this retort:
"Our own comedians make jokes about the British being terrible cooks and terrible romantics, and we in turn make jokes about the Italians being disorganised and over dramatic; the French being arrogant and the Germans being over organised."

Here is the clip:
BBC Top Gear Insults Mexicans and their Culture Video - Videos - MetaTube Yeah, it is a little harsh, but doesn't seem all that different than when James May said that "France is a country you have to drive through to get to Italy, that is all it's for", and the French were "a bunch of treacherous, lamb-burning, work-shy peasants". Suck it up Mexico. |

I was looking it up when you posted your link, and I tried yours, it didn't play for me, so I posted the one I had found
