Italians = Egyptians of Europe?

This is so much like Egypt! I think it's funny how similar it is to Greece and Spain as well.

This proves just how much Mideteranean "the origins of civilization" people have in common!

YouTube - Europe Vs. Italy

That's a really cool video

You could replace the Italian flags with Greek flags, it would exactly the same result

Hmm, somehow the stereotype of a "typical Italian" is much more prevailing and stuck into people's heads than a stereotype of a "typical Greek".

As for the "Egyptians being the Italians" - I found it a lot of fun when my Jordanian friend gave me a short course into the stereotypes of the Arab world. They are just as funny as the European ones. I love stereotypes, as long as they are only used for harmless fun.
