The Wedding Planner
‘IF the Americans knew where Britain actually was, they could come over here and make TV programmes pointing out how absurd we are but they seem to be labouring under the impression that we are all a lot smarter than them.

Of course, when a man who can barely pronounce his own name can make it into the White House, it is very easy for us to feel a bit smug.
It is a feeling that is only exacerbated by the likes of Louis Theroux, Ali G and Daisy Donovan, all of whom have found much to laugh about in the rich tapestry that is American society.
For instance, tonight Daisy visits Gatlinburg, Tennessee, a town devoted entirely to weddings, marrying as it does 25,000 people a year and takes a job as a wedding co-ordinator.
The couple, whose wedding Daisy organises, tearfully tell her that she is the best wedding co-ordinator they have ever had which makes one suspect that they have visited Gatlinburg with different partners a fair few times before.
Of course, if you want a cheap laugh at Americans, you could just watch President Bush on the news tonight. But thats just cruel ’
