The only fail I see is that subby posted the wrong link.

Congrats to Liam Neeson, anyway.

You'll have to explain it to me, then. If it's just the Miranda Richardson "ski = fail" joke, we're only about six months late on that, and it has nothing really to do with the article.

So, Subby, First Class or Business? Aisle or window?

Not cool, Subby, not cool.

This.

Unless it's "LOL Ski accident" I don't get it either.

Oh man, this is turning into a good ol' subby hate thread.

Yup.

Lame, nonsensical and not funny in any way shape or form.

fail.

the headline insists upon itself.
 
2009-08-31 07:09:48 PM
So what he's saying is...
"I will pay less in taxes as an American."
 
2009-08-31 07:10:10 PM
Bra-farking-vo, subby. Well done.
 
2009-08-31 07:10:24 PM
Wombatzu: fail.

It what?
 
2009-08-31 07:23:28 PM
I for one laughed my ass off at the headline. +1, subby.

Although of course, you're going to hell.
 
2009-08-31 07:55:46 PM
I don't know what I was expecting the article to be, but that wasn't it.

I was remarking to a friend the other day that when bad actors are attempting to portray themselves as being mediocre actors they should learn from John Travolta and never allow themselves to be cast opposite Robert Duvall.

Robert Duvall!!!

I'm guessing we aren't the warm fuzzy Americans he was speaking of.
 
2009-08-31 09:44:37 PM
Its rare I read a Fark headline and honestly think to myself, "that's just mean." This was one of those times.
 
2009-08-31 09:55:50 PM
at first I thought "too soon", then I remembered I have a sense of humor. It's kinda farked up, but it's still mine dammit.

FTFA: "I'm still a proud Irishman, of course, but I've become an American citizen. I'm very, very proud of that."

I'm sure if it were still allowed he would have become a dual citizen of the US. Apparently we're one of a very few countries that doesn't allow it anymore.

/Would have loved for my mom to sign me up for DC as an American and German
//Cousin and her ex were told by the government that either she can become a Brit or her fiance could be an American but it couldn't be both.

Tasteless can be good sometimes, subby.

This was not one of those times.

Weird, one of my best friends has both Candian and US citizenship. Maybe they didn't like you family or something.

Nah. There's what's legal, and what's done. You're supposed to have only American citizenship. But people just don't bother reporting stuff. Most commonly, kids born with dual citizenship have until their 18 to declare, at which point they tell both countries that they declare for them.
