Kind of funny to hear you say this, it reminds me exactly of what I hear people say about other cultures and the "stupid" ways they dress and behave (I do a lot of cross-cultural work, as well as exit and entry counseling for American workers in foreign countries, so I deal a lot with bitter Americans who have grown to hate a certain culture that they find themselves unable to understand or fit in with). Props to George on that one, sound like he did a good job.
You know, there are a lot of reasons to hate the PT, but I think somepeople would have hated them no matter what. Even if they would have been good in every other way, would you still pick them apart and hate them because of the stupid, pompous ways the characters were dressed?
