I can't believe this is what America is showing its neighbors. I'm ashamed to live in the same country as Ricki Lake. Seriously...hip hop here sells for some reason...right now there's a car commercial showing a bunch of yuppies riding around in the mud with Montell Jordan's "This is how we do it" in the background... .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | nm: nickworthington | ml: nworth1@umbc.edu | .25grandizer1wrecktangle | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | http://www.gl.umbc.edu/~nworth1 | "Walk softly and carry a big spliff." | `-------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Believe it....we've got four channels in the UK, and the fourth (supposedly most innovative) channel beams out Ricki Lake everyday at 5:00......presumably *this* is what we're supposed to think the average american people are like.......well, until "Friends" got shown of course. :) -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/

Ask Alan, maybe he'll tell us what he thinks of American people, from a British perspective. ;) -- __ __\ \ Aurafix aka Hillie / PHD ^ DAMONES / /_\ \ http://www.clark.net/pub/buh/index.html \_____/ >> buh@clark.net >> < > .. >> .<>> >> > , m7= Do re mi fa so la ti ..
