You wouldn't say something like that about the Philly Fanatic because he'd jump into the stands and poke his snout in your face.<br /><br />It is merely an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual decline of the British empire and sensibility. No wonder Stephen Hawking looks skyward for black holes of escape. When was the last time you saw great art emanating from those shores? Exactly.
