I missed that post. Thanks for linking it back into the present.
All those examples indicate troublesome problems, but can they be called ugly.  |
It does not stop at the Ugly American, it talks of the Ugly Sarkhanese (imaginary country).
I sure hope the Americans don't lose out to the Chinese!
But that hope remains a hope. Sadly.
You object to the title?
I never thought Americans could be so sensitive.
They can laugh at themselves is what I know!
A great quality, if you ask me.
