    Does it annoy you when some Irish people particularily teens copy american culture. A lad in my school saying "dumpster" and wearing those sick out of date converse shoes. Are they just embarresed about their culture or what?
    Especially when they call the Gardaí "cops". Jesus come on. Saying things like " Check it out " or "Pretty" eg : thats pretty cool.
    :mad:
    Any thoughts?

    Those have to be some of the worse examples of someone mimicing American culture.

    i think the worst examples are idiots driving around in Hummers, Dodge Rams, and other american 4x4's like that

    There is seriously NO NEED for these cars in Ireland!!!!

    so because someone says there is no need for something, because it's an american thing, you shouldn't get one?

    I don't give a fúck whether everyone gets them.

    they're still ridiculous and not needed for 99% of the people who drive them on their 'school run' bollocks.

    i've never met 1 single american yet who spoke like those idiots in teen dramas from the states.

    if anyone is to blame, its the script writers and parents allowing their kids to watch such garbage in the first place.

    its true, alot of teenagers in this country sound like those on the tv, but thats not real life!!

    turn off your TV's teenyboppers!!

    Yes they are... Im expressing my opinion on the cars in question...

    The people iv seen who own them in Ireland have no use for them whatsoever... They buy them for the bling factor and they would never buy them if they didnt see them on TV or rap videos...

    Honestly why would someone want to own an Escalade in Ireland... For the same Price you could have an X5 or a Range Rover... Better car and better MPG

    Same Goes for the Dodge Ram... Nissan Navara... Better car and Better MPG
