The deliberate misspelling Amerika often refers to a future USA that is either Communist or Fascist. It may have something to do with the Cyrillic alphabet.

How about the idiots who take offense to a show with the word offensive in the title?
We don't take offense to the show. We take offense at the guy not being funny on a network with the name "Comedy".

Because it points out the Germanic heritage of the English language which is certainly embarrassing to the point of being insulting.
I mean, imagine our proud strong language having come from such grueling sounds as Dutch, German, Swedish, Norsk.

Any deliberate misspelling gives the appearance of derision.

Or "tongue in cheek" depending on context.

Calling the USA "America", also offends a lot of North, Central and South Americans.

Jelselnik is an arse.  I pay $150 a month for this crap on tv.  I'm getting ready to pull the plug on cable tv.  I do like the internet connection speed.


Edit
Not that they like USA, but we Americans all live in the America's.
