Ha! Are you kidding? The commercial empire of America invades all boarders. No where is safe from the banner of the Golden Arches of Triumph! Ever heard the song "Amerika" by Rammstein? I love that song for how very true the commercialization part is, which is the only part in English. Very wisely they switch over to German when complaining about America being world police. That way it had the chance to become a popular radio song and at the same time not offend unilingual patriotic Americans. But I still like the song.

Are there any in Brazil, Ric? What other franchises are there? I always love hearing the differences between the American and "foreign" (to me) versions of fast food, ever since the conversation about the Le Big Mac and the Royale with Cheese in Pulp Fiction.

While I oppose north america's politics in almost every way, and I've clearly pointed out what and why, I do enjoy the "commercial" part of america and I'm not against a "cultural invasion". I belive north america's role in the world is to save us from bad movies and bad food
(and the British, music and comedy).
