the topic of the segment was ugly americans vs rude brits....why was this even a topic for conversation?.....i could never quite finger what they were saying about americans but the jist of what they were saying about brits was that they are pretentious self-righteous twits....i dont understand.....overall wouldnt you say that ugly and rude hold hands? so what was the point other than to try to make one country inferior to the other?

The point was that for many years,, Americans were looked at for being ugly and rude and unwelcoming. And Brits where looked at as very polite, and warm, and charming. And now the times are changing and now accourding to a new poll and study that American's are more friendly and polite than Brits..
it was just a slow media day I think.

As someone who has travelled extensively in the UK, and lives in the US, I think the segment was most likely (although I did not see it) about exploring and explaining our cultural differences. The English, as well as the Irish, do things differently than the Americans do. It's hard to adapt to the customs and differences, and as a result, each may see the other as being "rude" when in reality, we are just different.
