    You're entitled to your opinion, but believe it or not, there are some things that we Americans respect enough in our culture to throw a fit.

    Think about all the backlash the Wardrobe Malfunction received. Now we have the 30 second time buffer on live TV events. That's censorship too.

    When South Park depicted a statue of the Virgin Mary bleeding out of her vagina, enough groups complained to Comedy Central that they do not air that episode anymore.

    Respect is the main issue here. If I take off my shoes and put them on your coffee table, you might take offense, even if I always do the same thing in my own house. It's my job to understand what the rules in your house are so I don't offend you.

    Likewise, it's the job of international corporations to understand international cultures, because they want to be good guests.
