Ariana Grande Hates America, Pulls Out of All-Star Game Performance

Ariana Grande hates everything about America: America, donuts, America, baseball, America, and Americans.

Ariana Grande announced at a Southern California donut shop on Saturday that she hates America. America, meanwhile, was celebrating its 239th birthday on Saturday.

"I hate Americans," said Grande. "I hate America." She made the announcement to a male companion whose head was unfortunately adorned in an American flag bandana, another couple––man in American flag colored t-shirt, woman in American-hating black hoodie––and the donut store employee, clad in a red shirt (red is one of the colors of America's flag) who showed Grande a tray of oversized donuts.

(Some may theorize that the tray depicted in the grainy footage is actually a tray of maple bars and that maple bars are Canadian, exonerating Grande from full America hatred. Those people are wrong. As Wikipedia will tell you, Maple Bars are most common on the West Coast––the West Coast of America––the West Coast of America where Grande lives, in Los Angeles, a city in America.)

Grande immediately responded to the tray, "What the fuck is that?"

After she realized that what she was looking at was America, she made her announcement.

This came on the heels of her prior, more subtle announcement of hatred towards America in which she announced that she would no longer be performing at the Major League Baseball All Star Game, an event known in America as the "Midsummer Classic" and regularly featuring a team that calls itself the American League.

Grande released a statement today in which she revealed the true depth and complexity of her hatred of America and Americans and donuts.
