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

Congrats to Liam Neeson, anyway.

Redwing		2009-08-31 04:20:55 PM

Nevermind me. RTFA in its entirety and caught it.

Facetious_Speciest		2009-08-31 06:18:39 PM

Ouch.

Herb_the_betta		2009-08-31 06:19:56 PM

Too soon.

/still creative though

Blame Canada?

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.

OtherLittleGuy		2009-08-31 06:36:44 PM

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

mekki		2009-08-31 06:43:11 PM

Not cool, Subby, not cool.

/yeah, I know this is Fark.

Yay! No Mods day!! Any old POS gets a green light!

This.

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

Herb_the_betta		2009-08-31 06:51:17 PM

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

Yup.

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

FTFY

fail.

the headline insists upon itself.

michaelgvh		2009-08-31 07:09:48 PM

So what he's saying is...
"I will pay less in taxes as an American."

Muircheartaigh		2009-08-31 07:10:10 PM

Bra-farking-vo, subby. Well done.

Herb_the_betta		2009-08-31 07:10:24 PM

Wombatzu: fail.

the headline insists upon itself.

It what?

MonkeyAngst		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.

Mr. Chainsaw		2009-08-31 07:55:46 PM

I don't know what I was expecting the article to be, but that wasn't it.

Gawdammit subby, 1 ticket, window seat please.

fail.

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!!!

bittersweet		2009-08-31 08:23:01 PM

I'm guessing we aren't the warm fuzzy Americans he was speaking of.

Walking Spanish		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.

BATcandelora		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.

KatjaMouse		2009-08-31 10:19:55 PM

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.

i find it shallow and pedantic.

ApostropheX		2009-08-31 11:44:15 PM

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.
