To Our European/Asian friends who are wondering about this Thanksgiving Holiday

Many of you have a stereotypical image of the US as being a very violent nation. I would like to point out that there are many ways for us to kill ourselves besides going out for an innocent automobile ride in a bad neighborhood.

Witness this unintentionally funny video on deep-frying turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner.

who is stupid enough to put a half frozen turkey in there? And who is stupid enough to put that much oil in it. If you follow the instructions, these things are safe..

Extremely funny though..

you know as well as I do that if there is a way for someone to kill themselves with a curling iron, someone will find a way to do it.

europeans, this is the holiday where the turkey christ was masticated by the pilgrims you sent over here.

no joke: i've seen Turkish nationalists complain that Thanksgiving was a veiled way of expressing secret American disdain for their country.
