Actually I picked up those quotes cause they were really funny, not in one more of my numerous attempts to make fun of americans.
This site is really hilarious, and it's written by US citizens...

I liked the story about God being a manic-depressive.

The Onion is an old standby -- consistently one of the funniest sites since the early days of the internet (and before). If you really want to bust your gut, read the "Herbert Kornfeld" editorials.

I love going to the USA BTW, but yes, french people hate Americans, they love focusing on the most ridiculous aspects of US culture (Wrestling, Jerry Springer, Baywatch, COPS-the TV show, George W.Bush, flashy millionaires and fake blondes with fake tits), and often forget about the geniuses (John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Chet Baker,Orson Welles, Tim Burton, John Faulkner, John Kennedy O'Toole, Andy Warhol, Donald Judd, the list goes on...).
So for the moment I've been continuously arrogant, but one day I'll certainly meet a Yale graduate who will know French literature 10 times better than me, and it will shut my mouth...

ok.. well that explains it if thats all you see of american culture.. we laugh at the same shit over here. i've heard we're still refered to as the 'colonies' over there.
..and btw i agree especially about George W Bush.. proves half the country has a mental block to not realize they elected the village idiot.

Actually I know many French people who do not hate Americans. However, regardless of whether it is sports our countries, people like to pick on the Goliaths of the world. That's the way it has always been and I can certainly live with that. However, "hate" is a pretty strong word. The reasons you list are extremely petty. You may want to think about how that would reflect on France if true.
