Fun Foreign Facts
Brett McVicker is a writer for Country Fried Home Videos and Country Fried Planet.
Since we started our new show, Country Fried Planet, I've had to do plenty of studying. We pride ourselves in getting the facts right, so we painstakingly check every single piece of information about other countries before we put it on the air. Here are just a few of the things I've picked up:
• The Czech Republic has a class division - those who grow corn and those who grow wheat. They're called Wheat Czechs and Corn Czechs.
• The richest man in Brazil is a Brazillionaire.
• They don't have gravity in Australia. That's why Australians can live upside down.
• Surprisingly, they rarely drive four door cars in Sudan.
• Scotch tapes aren't any stickier than the videos we get from other countries.
• Uruguay is not just an insult.
• Taiwan and Thailand are two different names for the same island nation. The people there are called Cambodians.
• Bora Bora is actually quite exciting.
• In Saudi Arabia, they have mandatory public service. It's called Saudi-Duty Time.
• When in Rome, you should always do as the Romanians do.
And check this video out. Did you know other countries have history, too?

We just viewed a segment on Country Fried Planet (4/3/08) with some guy eating a live baby bird! I can’t believe you would do this!
All I can say is, you all are sick and this show is worthless!!

I just got done watching tonight’s Country Fried Planet. I will no longer be watching this reprehensible show. The segment that was shown was titled Gaucho Oucher, I believe. To show the inhumane treatment of those horses was irresponsible at the very least, outright cruel in fact, and I saw no humor, or entertainment value in it what-so-ever! There is no doubt in my mind that those horses were scared out of their minds.
Shame on you for not seeing this, or not caring, and for CMT to allow this kind of cruelty.
I will no longer watch this show.

My family and I have always been hardcore CMT fans. When Gone Country started airing, we blocked it because of Bobby Browns obnoxious behavior. What made it even worse was CMT permitted it. —Tom

Cole Edwards (JensBoyfriend) says:
I always hate tearing shows apart and being negative about them because I know many people work on every show that airs on any channel on television, but I absolutely do not like “Country Fried Home Videos” or “Country Fried Planet”. It is all just a waste of time, and I rather CMT focus on music specials and shows such as more “Crossroads” or “Cross Country”. I mean, there is only so many times you can watch the World’s Strongest Redneck.

Bill Engvall is the crudest human being on the planet. My kids were watching that show and I had to beat the shit out of them and take them to jail for having a damn good time. Also the sets they give him are so bad it makes me want to shoot myself with a nail gun. He is famous for being an average Joe Cocker. If they keep this show on the air I am rodeo riding down to CMT and kicking the man juice out of all the rednex and racists at the station!
