Rohan15: We Americans are hungry for 3 things: Land, OIL, and Money. We probably wouldn't even be in the middle east as of now if there was oil there.
Again with the Iraq war stuff... Do you want to start another thread? I think you may risk derailing this one... Also, I think you'll find that relatively few Americans are really concerned with land itself, these days, unless they want to hike through it. They're much more interested in how a given piece of land can be developed.
Americans are also hungry for fame (of the "Great Legacy for future generations to admire" variety), social justice, clean/inexpensive energy, religion/spirituality, and maintaining America's status as "The World's Greatest Superpower." These things tend not to come up on TV, though. That's my point.

My bad not trying to derail a perfectly entertaining thread. =)

I say fuck social status, either get along or drop dead.

...Oookay, I think you missed the memo that this thread was supposed to be scathingly satirical, as opposed to merely scathing.

Indonesia (my home country): We LOVE drama. Seriously, 70-80 percent of the airtime consist of local soap opera (with bad acting and storylines ripped off from Korea or Japanese drama), scripted 'reality' shows, and celebrity gossip.

Are you a fat, homely, out-of-shape male? Come to America! According to television and movies, your future wife is scorching hot.
