Default Re: How do Americans view Europeans?

Yeah the continentals are fking obsessed with speedos for some reason. I went to a waterpark near Barcelona a few summers ago and we weren't allowed swimming because of the 'no shorts' rule. Obviously left because a) I wasnt paying 15 quid for a pair of pants that I'm going to wear once and b) I'd rather die than look like a complete [censored] in speedos. Thank God speedos are ridiculed in Britain (though unfortunately this doesn't stop fat, pasty old men wearing them in pools).

Speedos are almost unheard of in America. This is why I found it so odd that Europeans look dowm on American tourists for wearing shorts.
