1. Fame


This buncha cells isn't even close to being a human, and it's already a billion times more famous than you'll ever be. It's a trending topic on Twitter and it hasn't even been born yet! People all over the world will care about what this baby is named. No one cares what your name is, and you know that's true because of the amount of times it's misspelled on the side of your coffee cup.

Not having a say in who gets to lead America is a frustrating experience, considering how much power some say they'll have over us anyway, as well as realising who actually does get to vote. Even Utah?! Since I remain under the rule of some other, admittedly less dynamic, private school fancy-man, I'm often forced to explain what stock I have in who wins this week.

1. Everyone's Friends Anyway

Her Majesty's United Kingdom and the USA have what's known as a "special relationship", which, under any other circumstances, would sound seriously creepy. But hey, check out this video of your commander in chief and my whatever-the-chubbier-and-less-impressive-version-of-a-commander-in-chief-is kicking back and enjoying a brew and tell me what's creepy about this "special relationship" (Skip to 0:40)

See? You can't.

The point is our guys at the helm are pretty close-knit, and as such I'm going to have to put up with a lot of newspaper pictures and quotes from whoever's coming to check in on the us, like the son taking a sad and sympathetic tour of his crazy dad's new, tiny, nursing home bedroom. And I guess Obama has nicer teeth.

Point: Obama.

2. How We Look in Comparison

It's always nice to look over the shoulder of the guy in front and check out how well you're doing. In these cases it's sometimes helpful to have someone driving America who isn't unfamiliar to a gaffe or two. Politicians over here have been recently embroiled in a scandal which saw them writing off fancy luxuries as public-funded expenses, so preferably 2012's President should be no stranger to some kind of tax controversy of their own. Do you guys have one of those? Bonus points if, during their most recent visit to England, they were very widely and publicly lambasted for negatively comparing the London Olympics to the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, as if the idea of those two things being remotely comparable wasn't scornfully laughable.

There's a clear winner here, a man of real supposed dignity and poise, which makes us feel all the better when he's made fun of by a guy who looks like this:
