What I am seeing with alarming frequency is TV shows "hosted" or based around "homies" talking absolute ***** about money, booty, cars and "cribs".
All good but only if I could understand 10% of WTF these fatties are talking about. It all sounds like "MuMble - YO! WHASSUPE? huh-duff-blingyo-pimp, biatch, yo-bang, busta bla bla bla Mumble"
Any answers here? I am seriously beginning to struggle with the projected American image over here.
WTF are you exporting?

I think of it as a lowest common denominator factor. It's a level for everyone to live down to and nobody gets excluded. I see it every time I watch (five minutes worth) an MTV music awards show and see some Blacks on stage rapping away and all the white kids in the audience singing along and swinging their arms in the air and I ask myself who could possibly like that retarded sh#t.
