Osama, Obama and the Surrender Monkeys

If you're easily offended by surreal insults, look away now, for Europeans have been branded 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys' by a journalist who claims to speak for many Americans but who probably just wanted to make it into the Daily Mail.
According to Tony Metcalfe, the British editor-in-chief of the Metro newspapers in the United States, Americans are pretty angry that we haven't been high-fiving and whooping enough over the death of terrorism's poster boy, Osama Bin Laden.
In fact, some people even question whether Bin Laden is more than just a figurehead for the Taliban, and whether the real power lies elsewhere. Obviously, that can't be mentioned, as who knows what Simpsons quote we'd be hit with next. Purple monkey dishwashers?
