Turning against Uncle Sam

I received many speculations and critics about why I think American series are lame, and people just don't seem to get my message. I don't just have issues with their lame series.. I have ots of issues with them.

Don't you just hate Americans? Everything about them is so utterly crass, so second-rate – from the sloppy way they dress to their junk food and whinging nasal twang. If only they’d leave us alone. But, being Yanks, they won’t, or can't. To a man – even, it seems, to a woman – their sole aim in life is to turn us into Uncle Sams. Sadly, United Kingdom it’s working all too well. Monopoly control of film distribution and cheap TV series ensure American ‘culture’ is everywhere and made us look FAKE. The result? Massive sales of Levi jeans, MacDonalds burgers, Ford and GM cars, Starbucks coffee, Budweiser beer, Jack Daniel’s whiskey, Dell and Macintosh computers – you name it. And all, in the end, to the detriment of our own native culture. However, for the British it doesn’t have to be this way. From today – appropriately, the eve of Prince Charles' and Camilla Barker-Bowles' historic wedding – let’s strive to make a stand against American encroachment.
