That's why they are looking for the contestants in Europe. They hope that enough women in Europe will NOT have seen it to provide a pool of contestants...

You have this word in your language? I thought it was a pure German word.

No, we don't have it in our language, but it is quite widely known word. It has become something of a slang word among the oung adults. Also I read german 3 years when I was in the school. I am happy that we don't have Joey Millionaire and I think we could also live without The Bold and the Beautiful and Shopping Channel (Churck Norris selling gymnasium equipment!?).

But this is only my opinion. I am also happy you don't know what kind of magazines we have full of gossip of some 15 minutes celebrities... and how many people actually buy them... I don't know whether to cry or laugh

About the only thing I like about the European culture is they are not afraid to publish pictures of nudity. I used to look through Der Speigel when I took German, and found it very eye opening. Too bad we're still so self-righteous (and hypocritical) in the states when it comes to sex and nudity.

i get tired of being called a hypocrit. i try not to generalize. and if i do generalize, i'm polite enough not to say it.

The best thing about Joe Millionaire was/is the Butler. They should rename the show "I buttle for Joe"

Cheers!

Yes here in America you can get 125 years for viewing an email that you did not request which contained an illegal photo from Europe.

Only in America will we send a person to prison for life because they have a photograph. If you kill someone, you get 20 years, but a photograph of European Porn...... OMG..... 125 years!!!

It is a sad environment that we live under. We are told we are free, but yet we have laws that controdict that.

If we are a free society, then why can't an eight year old kid take a comic book like Captain America to school? A kid was sent home and expelled from school because he took his dads old Captain America comic books to school to show his friends. The school freaked out because it had a german WWII Nazi symbol in it.

In my own state a kid was arrested and kicked out of school for taking a G I Joe figure to school along with the figures tiny replica M-16 and Colt 45. OMG call the police, evacuate the school, and call in the national gaurd!

If we are a free society, then why is driving consider a "privilage?"

I can go on for hours and type all night. But why? As population increases, freedoms decrease and the idiots previal. Nuff said.

civilizations also undergo entropy until something revitalises them. people forget the reasons and the energy that created the civilization in the first place and allowed it to grow. either that or the civilization gets more and more rigid. ours, canada and the us, are getting more and more 'fluid'. losing integrity in more ways than one.
