I apologize on behalf of America


On behalf of all Americans, I apologize to all you other people out there, that you had to witness these idiots. Please don't get the impression that we are all like this.

Also, please don't judge us by those idiots you see buying time-shares in that scam of a building he built in Las Vegas. As you can tell, mostly "lower-intelligence" people get sucked into those things, as shown in the film. Believe me, most of us are not like that, and are aware that it's a scam and not worth it.

It IS puzzling to me, however, how that guy can be so rich, yet so stupid at the same time. I assumed you had to be somewhat smart to become a millionaire, but he seems like an idiot. Well, anyone who runs away from their "first" family, becomes rich, and doesn't support them, and even then doesn't form a relationship with his own son....something much be wrong with him.

And that woman is such a vapid bimbo, with those big fake titties. Stopping at McDonalds in a limo? Ugh, it was painful for me to watch this film.

Also, in a house that size, with a nanny who the children almost consider a 2nd mother, is that the best room they could find for her? The bed is on one side, and the sofa on the other, filled with clutter....that's the best they could do?

She is crying because she wants to save money to buy some land in the Philippines, and doesn't have any? After 11 years? She has no rent, and I'm sure she doesn't send ALL her savings to those kids back home. I live in the Philippines, and land here is VERY cheap, maybe $2000 an acre. You can buy a plot of land in town for a few grand, too. It's not ridiculously expensive. If after 11 years, she hasn't saved $5000, they must be paying her slave wages, or she is sending all her money to her kids.

The so-called billionaire could easily buy land and build a nice house for her in the Philippines for $20,000. Especially after raising his kids. Oh, I forgot, he's a Conservative who supported Bush. Not surprising, since he abandoned his own 1st family, so I don't see him helping her.

You're kidding yourself if you think America is the only place where people like this exist. Billionaires with extravagant houses that treat their staff like crap exist all over the world.

No need to apologise, there are as many admirable Americans as there are idiots, the same for any nation. Also, I don't think you need to be smart or particularly intelligent to become wealthy, you just need a little bit of luck, and a ruthless streak, which that guy and his son had in spades. I wouldn't have bought a snickers bar from them, let alone a time share apartment, but hey, there's always somebody who will.
