Who remembers "sorryeverybody.com" America's apologies to the world for Bush, and "apologies
accepted", the world's response to America's apologies?
Sorry Everybody was a website created after the 2004 United States presidential election, which invited U.S. citizens to apologize to the world in advance for the actions of George W. Bush in the next four years. Its most prominent feature was the gallery, which contained images submitted by visitors holding various apology notes. The website became massively popular[citation needed] in the aftermath of the presidential elections, leading some Bush supporters to create spinoffs to express they were not sorry.[1]

"We, wanderers of the world outside the US, have been touched by the initiative of www.sorryeverybody.com, and the huge amount of photos they received. The initiators of this website would like to show to the American people that they appreciated that message.
Get your pencil, grab a piece of paper and write what you think. All it takes is a simple digital camera and this website to express yourself. Bush's inauguration does not mark the end of all dispute - it is just beginning."
After november 2nd, a lot of people outside the US gave up on the American people. 4 years ago, it was a strange sight for us to see the American people putting a monkey in the White House. It became even weirder when the monkey actually got re-elected. We found ourselves thinking the American people had gone berserk altogether, and had become truly selfdestructive.
Sorryeverybody.com was an American initiative to show that this view needs some adjustment. 48% of those who voted against Bush uttered their shame by simply displaying themselves along with a written note that expresses that shame. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes depressing, but at least the Other Side showed itself to the world.
So let's answer to these cries by telling the Americans it's okay. It is mostly them who have to live with the monkey after all. Anyway, what would you like to say to the American People? Take a photo and submit it on this website.
