Addendum:

Japanese: suicidal

[kardashev.livejournal.com]

You took damn near all of them! The rest of us will have to come up with stereotypes for countries nobody's ever heard of now. Like those snivelling little Micronesians.

Also:

You seem to have been thinking about this for a long time, ya hater. ;)

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

Having met with most of those helps a lot! ;)

[ddstory.livejournal.com]

LOL, poor cow!

No livestock have been harmed while shooting this commercial.

Weird porn is 1000% true in the case of Japan.

Faroese: sheep lovers! XD

[kardashev.livejournal.com]

Actually, the Scots also hold that title.

Q: Why do Scotsmen wear kilts?
A: Because sheep can hear a zipper opening at 50 paces.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

How many Scotsmen does it take to change a light bulb?
Och! It's no that dark!

[onefatmusicnerd.livejournal.com]

Scotland, where men are men and sheep are scared.

Cubans-Having one job is never enough for them. Always got to go to work...after they get off work.

[sealwhiskers.livejournal.com]

As a mixed breed, I feel that there are *a lot* of stereotypes for me to fulfill. I'm already practicing never smiling, being boring/bored, driving a hard bargain, demanding welfare from the state, stealing jobs, drinking hard and being a sexual pervert!

I may not have time for the internet anymore!

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

Brb, must drink some rakia and eat some tomatoes and cucumbers and squint at people suspiciously!

[sealwhiskers.livejournal.com]

Bah, you have it easy compared to me!

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

Have a bottle of rakia and then we'll talk again!

[sealwhiskers.livejournal.com]

Dude, you have no idea how much I'd welcome that right now...

(also, a mix of Swedes and Poles is pretty badass when it comes to drinking)
