American imperialism

It's been a while now since I have heard Philip Adams open his yap and complain about Australia being flooded by American culture blah blah blah.

I am now waiting for him to write a column praising "Lions for lambs", being that it is an attack by a bunch of lefties.

But hang on, isn't "Lions for lambs" an American film about American culture and politics? Why on earth would anyone in Australia want to see it? It's got about as much relevance here as say knowing about the garbage collection policies of Podunsky, Alaska (I made that name up). So why would anyone in their right mind want to promote it?

But I'm sure Phil is just waiting to give it a huge plug, and encourage all Australians to go and see it. Just like Sicko, which has zero relevance to our health care system. It's fine for him to plug American culture, so long as it is that part of American culture that he approves of.
