Brits Suck More Than Americans

Breaking News from The London Times: "An American Icon" has been knocked from the top spot by the British Dyson!

Apparently, Britons, still bitter over the loss of the American Colonies, have taken to mud slinging over suction.

A BRITISH vacuum cleaner has swept aside the iconic Hoover brand to become the market leader in America.

Please note the emphasis on BRITISH. Meanwhile, desperate American housewives are left dazed and confused:

[Hoover] became synonymous with US prosperity in the postwar years. It was the aspiration of every American housewife to own a Hoover.

What should they pick?

We like the Dyson. We want a Dyson. We agree its better than any Hoover. But will a vacuum restore the British empire?

Dear British People;
We love you to tears, but we're talking about vacuums here. Please, ring us up when when you have something relevant to discuss.
Thanks.

It must be causing consternation in the U.K., since they say 'Hoover' instead of 'vacuum.'

I figure it's merely becuase the term "Hoover" caters better than "vacuum" for the accent of those cockney bastards.

My parents have a Dyson. (I can't swear that it's ever been used.)

And I'm going to side with the Brits on this one.
