    Hip Hop 'culture'. That's it. That's the one thing I truly and utterly despise America for.

    America's other principal perceived vices (hamburgers and hot dogs, latent imperialism, saccharine empathy, religious conservatism etc) are a product primarily of its German heritage (specifically) and the general ideal of Euro-Westernism, so I can't divorce myself from that too much and blame The Evil Yankee.

    Although - it is fun for us 2nd tier Euros :)

    (ps. American Idol is another sordid British-invention that you Yanks get the blame for - just like the Middle East crisis and chips)
