I didn't even know the white burned down due to the British, I just thought it burned down for whatever reason.
Every day's a school day. I'd just like to take this moment to thank the British government for teaching me something about my own country's history.
I thank you.
It's really about time we invaded Britain. We need to teach them how to speak American, grill burgers, and mow their lawns properly.

But they already grill burgers and mow their lawns...

But not the proper American way.

They call their burgers "flimflabbydingdongs", okay?
It's time we need to step in and give them some [B]AMERICAN LIBERATION[/B] [IMG]http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-911.gif[/IMG]
I don't see the problem with this joke, we have a big holiday for kicking the shit out of the British where we buy millions of dollars worth of fireworks, and the British don't cry.
Not publicly anyway.
[QUOTE=cr2142;45799342]lighten up and take a joke for fucks sake, seriously.[/QUOTE]
yeah, it's just a joke
like that time America told Britain it was declaring war on it, that shit was hilarious
How many people have to get offended before someone can claim "people got offended at X"? When you reach an audience of millions and you receive 100 "I'm offended" tweets is it still accurate to say "-didn't sit well with some Americans."?
I'm more offended at the apology than the cake.
The cake is great and I love the history between our two countries, the burning of the white house included.
lol at people thinking this is some kind of superiority contest.
This is a celebration of a history and it's actually a celebration of friendship between the two nations. Basically looking back going "haha remember that time we hated eachother? that was pretty fun"
We're supposed to be friends, guise :c
Americans could easily just gloat about the Battle of New Orleans that basically had an assortment of cajun redneck civilians lead by Andrew Jackson beat off a massive Napoleon-defeating British army 2 months after the war of 1812 actually ended...

and the British could then gloat about how you guys elected Andrew Jackson because of that.

They use to, but Dachau cake doesn't taste as good.

I wouldn't call it massive, considering the contemporary wars in Europe at the time.
[QUOTE=Drsalvador;45800631]Tch, ow. Who left a blade with such a sharp edge lying around? Someone could've hurt themselves.[/QUOTE]
How else do you expect us to cut the cake?

We were still a British colony at the time. So you could say it was the Brits or "Canadians" who did it, and you wouldn't be wrong either way.
