Maybe we really are becoming Americanized.
Heh, you see we get their ideas but only in a shat way. Fast food restaurants where the food is still shat but isn't fast. Bizarre legal culture where the protection of the criminal is more important than that of the people he is burglarizing. A state run Criminal Defense Service raising questions about the separation of powers. Why can't we have some of the good bits like an entrenched bill of rights or directly elected head of state? This has just reminded me of (probably an urban myth) some American suing a homeowner because he fell onto a knife whilst breaking in. It's totally ridiculous that someone should have to indemnify criminals if they hurt themselves whilst in the middle of a crime. Its almost as good as that guy trying to kill himself by jumping off cliff, not dying then suing the council for not having a sign saying that jumping off cliffs may injure you. And he won. I've completely given up on the legal system...
Read ‘Fast Food Nation’, and be thankful you don't live in America.

Yeah, true, but they get the simpsons and friends before us. Not to mention the fact that they get every game/console about 6 months before us.
