You have to understand this is the way they view our \"American Lifestyle\" from examples we export to them. From the music videos we produce to sappy-ass reruns of 7th heaven and Who's the boss(i've watched this countlessly while being there).Well, in all fairness, we import many brilliant British comedies and game shows... then water them down to the point of being unwatchable.
