i'm American and it really offended me. "I come from a Nation which is able to laugh at itself. Sorry if I was mistaken that you can too." its different if your making fun of england, than if your mocking America. i would imagine that it would make a difference if there was a video mocking england, if it was made by someone english or an American.
gingermagicman and anyone else wondering, the 13 stripes stand for the 13 original colonies, the 50 stars stand for the 50 states. white signifies purity and innocence, red signifies valor and bravery, blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice. (a different one i've heard is that red stands for the blood of the patriots) the stars stand for Heaven: the ultimate goal, and the stripes stand for rays of sunlight. one thing i found interesting was when they were thinking of a national bird, ben franklin wanted it to be the turkey. and when congress was choosing the national language, english won by one vote, it was almost german.
