Belgium
Created | Updated Apr 11, 2002
One of the worst possible insults in the universe.
Except on a little planet in the Western spiral arm of the universe : the Earth.
On this green-blue globe Belgium is a little country in Europe beneath the European Jamaica and above the country know for its hot girl and boys with stupid hats, blue and white striped shirts and baguettes under their armpits.
Belgium is famous for its beer and French fries (which is off course a brilliant name for something the Belgians can be proud off). Actually Belgium isn’t famous at all but that’s what Belgians think their country would be famous for if it would be famous.
After the Earth film Pulp Fiction the Belgians actually got a little fame outside their country (maybe even the Vogons now know what the hell Belgium is, besides an insult). And they were right : it was for their French fries or better for the mayonnaise they put on it. Now the Americans think of Belgium as a bunch of lunatics or drunks (which totally explains why they could be famous for their beer) but at least they got a little fame didn’t they ! And the fact that the prime minister of the tiny country came famous in America for riding a mechanical bull didn’t add to that reputation at all.
The reason why Belgium actually should be famous and infamous is off course the irony and total lack of self-respect that characterises the habitants of the country.
