It's not ok. YOu wouldnt have a billboard that said "nothing good ever came out of Africa" or "Nothing good ever came out of Pakistan"... or even "Nothing good ever came out of London"... American-bashing is in poor taste, its hurtful, and it's racist. If it wasn't, they wouldn't have used it for a shock campaign. They should pay the piper and apologise for thinking it's okay to bash anyone based on their ethnic hertiage- if this is okay, the only thing it takes the piss out of is our anti-racist and anti-incitement to hatred legislation.
I have news for you Brits- you are just as fat, just as arrogant and just as useless as the Americans you so love to bash.

people who take this advert in offence are totally idiotic, this advert (albeit not the first half) is PROMOTING AMERICAN TV IN THE UK , morons.

you wankers still mad that we whipped your asses for the right to call ourselves americans? that was centuries ago, time to move past it. dissing american tv is a petty way to vent your frustrations...

Meh. It's a billboard. The must untrustworthy form of news media.
I get all my news from graffiti!
Tonights News story: P-dawg is made of shit! Word Up!
But seriously, why should anybody care?

i think it's hilarious. things must be roses in peoples lives if they have time to get mad at an ad campaign. i say rock on! if that's what your customers want to see, run with it. i laughed kinda hard at the first post though. too many people need to get their feelings off of their shoulder. for every person who is offended by something said or written, there are many more offended by censorship.

You know.. i really hate how brit's hate American's when exactly the majority of use who aren't southern redneck inbreads LOATH bush; The f-ing asshole is giving Americans a bad name - so i do agree a bit nothing good ever came out of American and that's because we have bad president's.. So.. Blame the president's not the people of America {atleast some of them}
btw we all don't have a hilly billy accent

"inbreads"?
I've never met anyone from the south that was in bread. Where would you get all that dough?
Hmm.

British people are some of the nastiest most horrible people I've ever met. I'm an Asian immigrant to the U.S. and I love living in the USA but the things I hear from British people are disgusting. No one wants to live in a country that's has dirty 18th century row homes and miserable people (oh yes, I'm talking about the UK).
Ignorant bastards.
