What the World Thinks of America

    I finally got to see a tape of this show. It was broadcast on CBET, in Windsor Canada, on Tuesday at 9 PM; and it took a look at what eleven countries think of America nowadays. I was somewhat disappointed that the show was based simply on a poll — the results of which can be seen here — rather than on on-the-street interviews or expert opinon. But the show was still interesting. I was taken aback to find out South Korea views the US rather than North Korea as a bigger threat; and I was chagrined to hear that world opinion (at least the Australian analyst’s) mistakes the Springer show [gag] for American culture.
    By the way, a note to any international visitors: Coca Cola and McDonald’s are not coming to your country for political reasons. They just want your money.
