Their popular culture, too, is popular the world over. Why? Because 
it's far more universal in appeal than that of other nations. (My Irish 
relations tell me that Australian soaps get more American by the day. 
That's called competition.) You bet your life American movies are 
consistently hits in Japan. (I can't speak about _Independance Day_--I 
haven't seen it--but if you didn't like it there's no need to condemn the 
whole American movie industry.)

Okay man, your starting to show your 'American Egotistical' side. (I'm 
American so don't EVEN try to say something that indicates I don't know what 
I'm talking about)

well, hmm.  i dunno, he is sorta right.  it's not quite on
as grand a scale as he suggests, but still, he's right.
