CNNN - Making Fun of Unworldly Americans

By Roadjunky, Posted May 22, 2009

Cruel but funny.

Americans are easy targets for the cynical – thousands of miles away across open ocean from the rest of the world, other countries exist more as sources of interesting cuisine than as cultures in their own right.

In reality you could make this kind of ignorance in most countries in the world – the information age never promised to deliver relevant information, after all – but let’s face it, naive Americans make better TV.

It’s in this spirit that CNNN, an Australian satirical program, take to the streets to ask everything from where should America invade next? to some general questions about the world ‘America runs’.
