I honestly thought they were making reference to Tom Hardy's teeth with that "flaw".

And I thought it was a generalization about circumcision customs in that country...

yeah, i'm pretty sure the joke was NOT about the accent, but about the generalization that european men are not circumcised.

Oh yeah you mean how Brits all have bad teeth in the way that all Americans are dumbass rednecks? Yeah I get you.

Typical American Bitch?, why do you people respond which such ass hole comments?. It was a joke there is nothing wrong with being British or anything else. The joke wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Calling American women typical American bitches...no.

When did she call American women typical American bitches, she was referencing THE typical American bitch, just like you can get a British bitch or a French bitch, all countries have them.

I love most British accents(except for the ones that you just can't understand), and many Brtish men are very hot. I would think that all of that would have made Tuck very exotic - he's foreign, he has great ccent, a muscular body, tattoos...honestly, what's not to like? Especially since he was a nice guy to boot~ I really loathed Chris Pine's character, he was so freakin' smarmy!

By the way. I am British and briefly dated a American girl. She was a Texan and turned out to be a real mental-case.

I couldn't understand it either, I'm american and all my friends including myself's goal in life is to snag a Brit. I don't know why the chick picked FDR. HARDY was way hotter and sweet.

How about a non-Brit who can do a smashing UK-accent, would that do ?

I didn't get that joke at all. Being British is not at all a flaw.

I don't think it had anything to do with his accent, considering when they first met she was fawning all over his accent.

reply

[–] Quiksilver78 12 years ago

Lighten up people ... that was the joke.

It has nothing to do with being British, but more to do with NOT BEING AN AMERICAN.

That's the flaw: HE'S NOT AN AMERICAN

Holy hell, does this need to be explained with apples and oranges instead?

[–] I-Sense-A-Plot 12 years ago

I think it was supposed to be a cute joke to treat something that is obviously a plus as a flaw, considering how much american women love british accents.

reply

[–] Miss_Kitty89 12 years ago

It has to do with circumcision. Only in America are non-Jews circumsized. Most of the world, especially the UK, non-Jews keep their turtle necks.

Many American women are incredibly freaked out and grossed out by a guy with the extra skin.

That speaks volumes about American women, and it isn't "extra" skin. That's the way it's meant to be. If anything, circumcised men have a skin deficit.

reply

[–] Miss_Kitty89 12 years ago

It is extra skin because when you get rid of it, you don't have any insides exposed; circumsized men are not in need of more skin, everything is covered with skin, no wholes, no gaps, and therefore are not deficient of skin

Think of it this way, how would you feel if you come to America and find out that American women have inverted nipples, that everyone in Europe has been getting surgery to have them pointed out. Even though it is natural, doesn't mean you wouldn't find it a turn off.

It is human nature to fear the unfamiliar.

Why 'fear' a penis, circumcised or otherwise? It's not like it can attack you (at least, not without help!)

Actually, you kind of do. A normal penis, in its idle state, is covered by a foreskin to protect it. A circumcised penis has what should be covered up, consantly exposed.

Think of it this way, how would you feel if you come to America and find out that American women have inverted nipples, that everyone in Europe has been getting surgery to have them pointed out. Even though it is natural, doesn't mean you wouldn't find it a turn off.

I can deal with hypothetical scenarios, but this isn't within the realm of possibility, it's a useless analogy. I know for a fact that a (normal) female nipple isn't inverted, just as a normal, untampered with penis comes with a foreskin despite Americans trying to pretend otherwise. I read somewhere that American anatomy books don't include foreskins, as though they don't exist. Is this some kind of national coverup?

It is human nature to fear the unfamiliar.

That may well be but the fact that something naturally-occuring is now considered "unfamiliar" simply begs the question of why? It seems too few people are considering this question, though, and that is where the problem lies. That said, though, if more people had questioned it in the first place, then people today wouldn't take it for granted. To my mind, though, being shocked/disgusted that man has a foreskin is the rough equivalent of being shocked/disgusted upon discovering a person doesn't doesn't have any tattoos when one hasn't no reason to assume the other person would have tattoos in the first place.

.......has more 'extra' skin on her flaps between her legs than I have on my uncircumcised cock. Unless she doesn't have a labia or a clit at all haha.

Look down between your own legs luv before you start complaining like an idiot about uncircumcised cocks. LOL.

Of course your insides are exposed, you've just had part of your body cut off. The wound doesn't instantaneously heal.
