Can't run well, Check.
Can't play fetch/ball/etc, check.
Has tons of hip/joint problems, check.
Looks the part (short chunky limbs, big belly, very short or almost nonexistent neck, pudgy face, etc), check.
Has a hard time breathing, check.
Lots and lots of medical problems, check.
Lazy, check.
Messy, check.
As for America having a lot of fat people, I'm far from being one of them, so I could care less about that comment, lol.
To be honest soooo many dogs fit those stereo types. lol And unless we're talking toy/small breeds most pure breeds we see in the U.S. have hip/other medical problems from a blood line that sees no new blood.
BTW I would not run for the nearest mixed dog you can find because of cost. Mixed dogs from the shelter are cool, and I've seen some great dogs there that would make good adoptable dogs. But in the end you have to be happy with the dog you get in order to show it the love it will deserve. Pure breeds can still be healthy dogs, but you need to find a breeder who cares about what they are producing.

Great dogs.. But can come with their share of problems as well. I bought mine for under 1k and have probably 2k in it.. As with every breed though it's sorting out a good breeder which will keep you from seeing the vet regularly. Which I didn't realize til after the fact.

When choosing a dog it should fit your lifestyle as well. Like if you go running everyday for miles and want a companion obviously a bull dog wouldn't be ideal. Or if you like play every once in a while but happy with a lazy dog then you don't need a real active breed. BTW just realized the bull dog/marine connection.. very cool.
Those puppies are adorable!!!! What is the connection with Marines and bulldogs?
Another thing to consider when chosing a dog is what your living area is like. For example, you wouldn't want to have a hunting dog like a retrieved in an apartment. That's why I want to get a greyhound when I can. They're mellow dogs that hardly ever bark but are also highly athletic.
