I don't think I've ever heard of an American going to France, getting work as a talk show host, and criticizing their country for say, failing to integrate that country's immigrant population.

Or in John Oliver's case, how many Americans have gone to the UK and talked about how, if the UK was a state, it would rank just above West Virginia in terms of per capita GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity?

It's just fascinating how everyone seems to have an opinion for the US.

hahahahahahahhaha what a great TV quote that would really get the British riled up on TV: "You Brits have low purchasing power parity". Maybe get Ted Cruz elected so he can ban free speech for all immigrants (although he'll slip in an exception for people named Ted). Oh lord the Tea Party is so humorously bankrupt of ideas and logic hahaha but thanks for the laugh.
