Urban75, my gift to you - the greatest Englishman still alive

Stephen Fowler is now beefing with all of the USA after appearing on wifeswap. He has taken over my life a little bit and I love him so. There's been so so so much shit kicking off over this episode, me and some friends have been winding up indignant xenophobic yanks on anti fowler facebook groups for a while now
 
Hail, "citizen of the world"!

YouTubed this, and I'm with the "Midwesterners". El cringeo has struck. Mr Fowler's the most embarrassing exile from Merry Olde Britain since Christopher Nolan, and not content with shaming Blighty, Mr "as a European" has to drag a whole continent into it.

This'll give at least a decade's life that hoary American stereotype of the arrogant, effete Eurotrash. Charitable, sir, charitable.

Nothing personal Mr Fowler, sure it's just that you don't televise well: stay away from the Tube for the rest of your days all all will be well. Just remember to watch out for ICE agents. :cool:
 
I have a friend works on American wifeswap. I should really drop her a note and see how she's getting on...

I loved American Wifeswap till I saw the opening credits that said some scenes were staged for dramatic effect. Lame.

Aw, I thought they'd at least set-up a real ex-pat. ;) If you can't trust American Wife Swap ...

To be fair his English accent is pretty good.

She's not the creative director or owt, but if she's still working on it she may have met him and have some insider gossip. And who doesn't like that?

:hmm:
 
She's on Nanny 911 now! :mad:

The people who did work on it said he was every bit as much of an asshole off-camera too, though.

"Editing" can only do so much: it can't make you say that you loathe most inhabitants of your adopted country, to the point that you can only live in a few cities there. Mr Fowler's not a moron: he must have known how he'd have come across. :confused:

What I don't get is that Mr Fowler is a naturalised US citizen. Even if he got it through marriage, that takes some work. Why on earth would he devote years of his life to pledging allegiance to a country he despises? If he and his wife love "Europe" so much, she could have naturalised in Britain. More :confused: .

I imagine that Mr Fowler's just have the wake-up call of his life from this. Expect to see him recanting everything he said on the first channel that'll take him!
 
shocking, hes not so bright if he thinks that attitude will be much help in educating people about sustainability.
 
Mr Fowler has posted a grovelling apology on his wife's blog. Reposted here 'cause said blog is currently "defaced" with a floating JPEG of a (stringy) rasher of bacon. :D
A Message from Stephen Fowler
Filed under: Uncategorized — carrie @ 8:29 am

Stephen wrote this of his own volition, without input from me. I offer it without comment.

I hope you will take this as a sincere and unequivocal apology. I have been completely taken aback by the response my behavior generated and it has taken a while for me to figure out what to say. I’m not doing this to try and redeem myself. Rather I’m trying to try and undo some of the hurt that people have obviously felt as a result of my comments.

Clearly I behaved like a complete jerk and I am deeply sorry for all the offense I have caused. I’m not going to hide behind excuses, I showed an extraordinary level of stupidity and arrogance. I will do my best to address most of the criticism directed at me. If I miss something out, however, it is not because I do not deem it important, it is just that there is rather a lot to cover.

First off, let me say I am deeply sorry for the terribly insulting way I treated Gayla during the show. She is a very pleasant person and clearly did not deserve to be treated that way. In fact, no one deserves to be treated that way. I was a bully, and it was just plain unacceptable. Once again, I offer my sincere apologies to Gayla, Alan, and their boys.

Some of my remarks obviously made me appear unpatriotic. Well that was just dumb. I chose to become a US citizen because I deeply respect the values upon which this great country is based. For the record, I think the US is an amazing country and I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather live. And while I do not happen to believe the Iraq war is a good idea, I do have a huge amount of respect for all the personnel who serve in the US military. They have the toughest job in the world and I am truly grateful for the sacrifices that they make to protect this country.

I used gross generalizations about Midwesterners and I am deeply sorry for any hurt I caused with these statements. My comments were just stupid and made me look like the one who is undereducated. Some of my best friends are Midwesterners, which shows how truly dumb my comments were.

I also deeply regret that my actions reflected badly on the environmental organizations with which I am affiliated, and were of disservice to the environmental movement as a whole. I’ve resigned both my nonprofit board positions and would ask you to not judge these organizations by my actions. I offer my sincere apologies to all the staff and board members.
Further, I regret that my remarks made me come across as a person who disrespects overweight people. I do not disrespect anyone for being overweight and I deeply regret that my remarks suggested I do. My wife has devoted her career to helping people and my comments reflect poorly on her and her heart-felt work. I apologize for my extreme insensitivity to her clients and her mission. Please don’t judge Renee by my actions.

I also want to apologize to my family and friends and thank them for their support, which I scarcely deserve. I believe we can all grow from experiences and I will work to ensure this experience teaches me to become a better, more compassionate person.

Finally I want to be clear that these are my words and I have received no input from anyone else, not even my wife. I hope this apology will be taken in the true spirit it was given.

Stephen

Also on the blog, Mrs Fowler has told hubby to get "professional help". Good of her to let the world in on it!
 
Fucking hell, that "Brit" was a complete cock!

Shame, because he had a point re: Midwesterners.

But that poor woman didn't deserve that abuse, especially not in front of the kids.

If I had to choose between staying with them I go for the happy paintball family any day of the week.

They're both stereotypes - Fowler as the arrogant know-it-all Brit and the apple-pie mum as the corn-dog stuffing "patriot" with no idea what's going on outside her own back yard.

That's wife swap. It wouldn't make car crash conflict tele if you got reasonable people to the swap-They'd just agree to disagree and get along pleasantly which would be nicer but not entertaining

No, you're right, and a lot of it is clearly staged... but still...

Nothing beats the Wifeswap with that sick uber-fat mad cunt screaming about the family she stayed with being "darksided" and shrieking like a banshee about "Jesus"... funny as fuck!!!!!!!
