I completely don't get why this makes people hate Americans.

Perhaps if we had sent a dozen Tom Arnolds to Belgium and let them talk/act loud, pushy, aggressive, condescending, disrespectful, and obnoxious while making a giant burrito, then it would make sense to me.

(Personal rant): Since I live in the deep South, this has been my experience with many midwestern tourists on their way to Florida. After a particularly bad carload of them would blast through town, we would shake our heads and say, "Now THAT'S why people all over the world hate us."

And as Lewis Grizzard once said, "There wouldn't even be Alligator Farms in the South if it weren't for dumb Yankee tourists."

I have no idea where I'm going with this, but it seemed all connected at first...
