Your question amazed me. I thought something along the lines of "Oh! how cute! He, or she, seems so ignorant about such a trivial thing to me that I thought was common knowledge! I just want to hug him, or her!"
Absolutely no offense intended. :)
I can speak for the US, some of Europe and South America. I grew up in several cultures and in different countries, but the US was always the reference as far as entertainment goes. Not because it was my preferred culture/country, but because everywhere I went I had access to it, whereas access to those other cultural references in the US or other locations were extremely rare or even impossible to find. Whatever books, tapes, records, comic books I had, I would hang on to very dearly.
American culture has always been a dominant one, obviously because of its 'success' as a nation and economic relevance. So it's always been exported. If you ponder, cultural products are goods which are meant to be consumed. And there you go! The world consumes Hollywood, TV channels, record labels. Before cable and piracy, you had the movie theater (as public TV channels dub films and shows into the country's language), CDs, tapes, VHS, records, whatever. Now it's in your home 24/7, if you choose.
Ew, this is probably one of the most confusing and badly written posts I've attempted to make. I'm just posting it because of my fucking time! *hand over mouth* Oops, sorry. ;)
I'm not completely dumbfounded as to how people understand references to our culture (though i may have came off that way) I know our music, tv, and movies are usually readily accessible in other countries. I was more curious as to what extent in what countries through which media.
Hun, I want ya to sit down. Look at me. Now you answer me straight: you think I'm fucking faking this engagement crap wit you??? I ain't got no time or beauty to waste, Jonathan Kyle. You better watch yourself! You already got me going on that stupid ring that I don't even want anymore! You can just give it to yo mamma, to you jap Kroger lady friend, to queerish, to your landlord, to that cracker lilly ass of yours, I don't care. I ain't takin' it.
Last time we talked you tell me you're gonna do better, be more romantic, pay more attention to me, show me you really want this as much as I do... and what do you do? Just like a man!! (guess the Parrish thing didn't change you much). Forget about it the next minute! You don't speak to me for days, then you write me a cute little note and throw it in the trash. Can you explain why I found THIS in our trash Johnny? Am I not worthy of your love, hun?
Are you ashamed of me? Omg, that's it! Because I talk too loud when we're fighting? That's so easy to solve. Be good to me... *smile* :)
Awww c'mon baby. You know it ain't like that. The thing with queerrish was just something i needed to know about myself. And i've still been working on that ring..it's..it's tough out there. And what i'm i supposed to think when i offer the majority of my egg roll and you throw it back in my face, don't think i didn't eat it after you left. You know..you know you're my best girl right? I know things aren't easy right now but we're gonna do this......together. Now get over here and give me a hug. Hehe ;D
Well, I'm not going outside first. You go and start the car, I just came downstairs to get dressed. Maybe we can get something to eat and sober you up a bit. Hell, 6 months without a DUI, and, what a coincidence, also no "Your piece of meat in my vag". Let's go to that place they have those on the menu!! I'm dying for one of those!
Johnny? *lays hands on his folded arms at the bedroom door* When you saw me running around with flutterhigh, Bear Grylls, and queerish... we were doing a swimsuit relay race, silly! You have nothing to be jealous about, okay?
How popular is U.S. entertainment in your country?

Aw, of course you can! *hugs* You don't even have to pretend! :) *hugs more*
But we have to talk, Jonathan Kyle. Ever since you went gay with Parrish, you never even so much as looked at me. :/

That's running act, fake fiances. I wasn't saying you act fake. Missed the comma there. But you probably knew that.

I love you, sweets. Meet you at the car? :*
Parents in military or diplomacy? I was a third-culture child myself.

Thank you so much for bringing me out of the darkness. Despite being one, amazingly, I'd never heard about TCKs before.
Neither. Are you one of those options?
