>I don't see alot of movies lately. The last one was english/american (wallice and grommit) on the plane.

Ah the Wererabbit. Very nice one and i don't care who funded it but that one is a English as the cliffs of Dover. <s>

What i meant was that we do have a -probably distorted - view of the States but the reverse is scant at best.

>Btw, how many american cars (aside from ford) do you see on the road? How many american consumer electronics do you have at home?

Cars ? Chrysler thanks to mercedes seems to make a small comeback. On the whole - due to several raisons - Am. cars just aren't suited for our roads.
Consumer goods...eh none..as far as i'm aware.
But all this is a bit besides the point i was making.

>I also love german crimi's. but how many Americans have ever heard about >derrick, der alte, commisar rex, etc.

Aren't you proving my point here, Walter ? BTW on the whole EU one's are a lot less violent than the US one's

I've seen some of the German one's but i prefer UK 'crimi's' b.y a rather large margin.

A+
