Ehm - the cowboy image of the US is not used in a particularly positive frame, overseas.

Be that as it may, that video rocked. Makes me want to swing a leg over the motorcycle and go exploring.
Sure it has the Japansese adpted it and its a huge success. Its i fact is much more successful than football in other antions.But I doubt that has anyhtig to do wit the subject really. The USA draws millions of vistors every year and it not inner cities they seek ;its the wanderful beauty and contrast of thsi huge nation. No one qannts to travel to see either the out skirts of metro London or metro New york or Los Angles. There are no tours of the inner city deacyed areas.I fact if you visit say japan and many toiehr coutnriues you will fine alot of interest i western US cowboy culture and mnay coutnry music clubs that cater to it.

Haven't you seen all those tour busses line-up outside of the local cookie cutter mac-mansion townhouse cul-de-sac then rushing off to the local strip mall for a taste of fine American cuisine al Red Lobster?

I think you've got that right. Much as MSM and Hollywood and Madison Avenue work to convince us that the U.S. is now all transformed to match the idiot families and scape portrayed on TV and in the movies and ads, real people and most of the U.S. are nothing like that. And as long as we evict Obama in November, he will not be able to do any permanent damage from selling his soul and our country to Hollywood, et.al. for whatever reason...Six months to go...Ahhhhhh...Relief is in sight...A light at the end of the tunnel!
