Fake. I know. But...<p>"10. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good."<p>This would, in fact, be rich coming from a Brit. Really. Hah!

From the article: "All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean."<p>From the article: "The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling "gasoline") - roughly $8/US per gallon. Get used to it."<p>In London, you can buy an old Porsche for 2000 pounds (about US$4000). Unfortunately, fuel alone costs about US$0.60 per mile.

Half the entries are something to worry about. Wake up USAish people.<p>PS: "Americans" describes a lot more people than just the citizens of the USA. It's about time you choose a suitable word.<p>PPS: Today is trolling day, in case you didn't notice.
