I'd go along with that.

The Fonz is American, after all and it doesn't get much cooler than that.

Hey!:thumbs up:
 
But that's probably because most people think of Hollywood or New York when they think of the US.

It's almost certainly due to the power of media to project an image and the US has the world's pre-eminent media machine.

Canada would have rated higher, I'm sure, if more people were exposed to such gold as The Great Canadian Ppliance Jump.
 
Nah, everyone hates us because we're so much better hockey players then they are. :lol:
 
New York is definitely cool..... however THE coolest thing about America is the Constitution and Bill of Rights. And the French knew that when they had their own revolution
 
'Made in America' is still thought of worldwide as an upscale brand. Think of Apple who now uses a fairly generic Intel board w/ a couple of tweaks. They get to upcharge for their product even if it's not as special as it once was. The USA could learn a thing or two from Jobs on how to get mindshare and charge extra for a that slightly better product.
 
I'm pretty sure most Apple products are made by Foxconn in Taiwan. But ya, I get what you mean.
