L'ho scritto prima in italino:

Forse non ci si capisce.
I fumetti, come i cartoni animati e i videogiochi non sono solo cose da
giovani o da bambini.
Io non vendo ne fumetti, ne cartoni animati e men che meno videogiochi.
Io ho 34 anni, leggo fumetti, guardo cartoni animati e gioco con i
videogiochi.
Io sono cattivo, incazzato e stanco. Sono uno che mangia filo spinato,
piscia napalm e riesce a mettere una palla in culo a una pulce a
duecento metri.

Poi ho provato a tradurlo.

Maybe we don't understand each other.
The comics, like the cartoons and the videogames are not only for
younger or childish people.
I don't sell any comics, nor cartoons and videogames neither.
I'm 34 years old, I read comics, I watch cartoon and I play with the
videogames too.
I'm bad, angry and tired. I'm one that eat barbed wire, piss napalm and
I can put a lead ball in a feal's ass from two-hundred meter.

O'Neill: Do you read the Bible, Teal'c?
Teal'c : It is a significant part of your Western culture. Have you not
read the Bible, O'Neill?
O'Neill: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Not all of it. Actually, I'm listening to it on
tape. Don't tell me how it ends

 I'm nasty, angry and fed up.
I have understood all, but not this. Is it only that sound better or was
the former wrong at all? If the former was wrong, why was it?

 the former wrong at all? If the former was wrong, why was it?
You can use 'bad,' but it can have a childish connotation of 'naughty' and a 
slang meaning of 'cool', or 'good', and definitely not 'cattivo'. I changed 
it for clarity.
You can use 'tired' but it means that you do not have energy. If you say 
'fed up' that means that you are tired of something (rather than just being 
physically tired) and it has made you 'seccato'. I thought 'fed up' more 
closely fit the meaning that the context suggested you were trying to 
communicate.

Questa e' una citazione e se la vuoi fare usa il testo corretto:
"Be advised. I'm mean, nasty and tired. I eat concertina wire and piss 
napalm and I can put a round in a flea's ass at 200 meters. So why don't 
you go hump somebody else's leg, mutt face, before I push yours in."

Mi suonava male. Non ho minimamente pensato fosse accettabile con il
senso di "dare a cio'". ^^;
