He said it was Pretty American becuase, he offered Lego a chance to make something out of them, and said no, After the video was famous, lego called back to ask for it, That is what is american
@WhyIAm7 Interesting. To be honest, I have seen a lot of guys crossing their legs just fine (in fact, I'm writing this message with my legs crossed). I think your friends need to go out more often -- no offense :P
HE SAID It's pretty american not to show the origin, you dumbfucks, but to tell us that LEGO had an corporate-america-douchebags style approach when they saw the succes of the clip concept.
@delonge5000 lol thank god i was scrolling through the comments with caution hoping that someone, ANYONE must have understood that he wasn't implying that lego was founded by an american XD thank god
@naurispunk I think he was referring to the fact that LEGO (perhaps the branch head quarter in US) called back after the video aired for another chance at collaboration. THAT'S pretty American, I'd say. :o)
Yes - it makes him seem so unmoved by common opinion. Almost as if he's making up his own mind for the choices he makes in his life rather than being pulled and pushed around by other peoples ideas of what he should do. How unbecoming... how, dare I say it, unamerican.
Jack's so cool with his beret and ciggy. He's so, "I don't care. I did it...so what? I just do cool things every now and then. I don't really care..."
@egyptiansushi that wasn't the joke... the fact that they realized they could make money after the fact was pretty american, i duno if jack knew that they weren't an american company though... or maybe im completely wrong
@eckoguy72 Different headquarters in different nations with different people running them....We never really know who actually runs the company anyway soooo yeah =)
@egyptiansushi that's not the point. The company maybe Danish, but it is everywhere and so is America everywhere. The marketing gambit of , 'hey, let's do it together' was a brash and opportunistic gesture from Lego, probably from within the US, but even if not, it reflects the lively and shameless way companies go about capitalizing on anything art can produce - and that really blossomed in the US
@egyptiansushi what is this nonsense? he's clearly not talking about the origins of Lego but the attitude of American businesses. Also, I'm pretty sure Lego will have a fairly large headquarters in America..
haha its better than megs idea of oreos........i thought it was pretty good hahaha she does sound shy that was just funny though and it would be cool with oreos!!!
I love that they were confused about how Michel made this video. But who can blame them really - in a modern age "pixelation" animation can seemingly mean more than one thing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
THAT'S VERY AMERICAN?? Lego is a DANISH COMPANY, privately held....from Denmark. It is not an American company, and therefore, not a "very American" decision they made. Jack's comments are "very American", dogging out America when he has no clue that its a Danish company. What a bonehead. Love the music...but what a bonehead. and lkgrave (comment below) your an easily led moron
that's a lot of credit you're giving jack white, i don't think he meant it that way at all. i think it was a boneheaded slip from a boneheaded detroit raised rockstar. but that's cool, i like them anyway.
That is pretty American for Lego to try to jump on the bandwagon after it's already left. They should have viewed the video first and than made a decision.
Who gives a shit anymore. Everyone's on drugs.. :/ All your favorite bands are packed with druggies as well. Just a fact of life. Most your friends too. hehe.
