another example of the contrast between the US and the rest of the world is the PSAs.
for example, in the UK, they don't hold back. a good british PSA is harrowingly effective. the twist hits you like a bullet train.
you want something that's lightweight? you want something that's sugarcoated? you want something that's easy to handle? maybe in america, but not elsewhere.
and this is the best example of that by far.
