On of the things that I find interesting about this board is the opportunity to get an insight into different cultures from the perspective of the people who actually live there, rather than filtered through news media. I loved the moment when Jackie posted that it had never ocurred to her that people in other countries would have any reason to be interested in the election taking place in her country. I also loved it when Jazz asked why the production values of British TV shows were so bad - he got a few shots through the ether but maybe he was right, either way, an honest opinion is worth so much more than the tripe we are fed through the press.
My latest cultural sterotype to bite the dust is that the US cannot cope with sex on TV. I sometimes watch "Sex in the City" (HBO in the US, on our terrestial Channel 4), it deals with taboo
