Their homeland isn't usually portrayed in a good light in American movies. Eurotrip comes to mind with whatever country they were in. i don't think they are trying to insult fat midwesterners. If someone made a video about the hills of Kentucky I'd be scared they would get it right and actually show how it is lol. I wish I lived in NY so I could be in it, good luck Moe.
Lol at anyone who is actually offended. Learn to take a joke. Americans can make fun of other Americans so why can't other people make fun of Americans?

I have never heard of them but I have been researching them a little to see if they are worth a look/listen. Yes indeed...I will be there. They look like a fun show. Immigrant Punk for sure.
(Not the video shoot because I am fat and offended...haha...j/k)

I'm not offended at all......I'm puzzled by the Americans who sign up for the video and perpetuate the notion that it's hip to criticize America when, if the tables were turned, any other country would find our criticisms "culturally insensitive" and "offensive". It's just a double-standard that gets to me. That said, I'm as excited for GB's Bonnaroo set as anyone but no, I will not be the stereotypical American puppet for his music video.

I was being facetious about shipping the participants to Newfoundland, but I really don't think my assumptions about the nature of the video are too off-based........
"American Wedding"- Gogol Bordello
Nothing gets these people going not even Gypsy Kings nobody talks about my Supertheory of Supereverythings! SO be you Donald Trump Or be an anarchist Make sure that your wedding Doesn't end up like this
I understand the cultures Of a different kind But here word celebration Just doesn't come to mind
hmmmm.... I think you should read the rest of the lyrics. It talks about how american weddings are boring, that there is no party. It doesn't say anything demeaning at all towards heavy set cacausian people except they don't know how to party:
Have you ever been to American wedding? Where is the vodka, where's marinated herring? Where is the supply that gonna last three days? Where is the band that like Fanfare. Gonna keep it goin' 24 hours
Ta-tar-ranta-ta-ta Super taran-ta taran-ta ran-ta ta
Instead it's one in the mornin' and DJ is patchin' up the cords Everybody's full of cake Staring at the floor Proper couples start to wonder That it's time to do People gotta get up early Yep, they gotta go People gotta get up early And she'd gotta boyfriend And this whole quacking thing Is just a one huge disappointment
