Much of that was clearly staged... from the opening with their fearful anticipation of putting their lives at risk to the creative editing, the dramatic music and frantic camera shots.

Granted this is supposedly for humor and wasn't intended as a documentary, but with the exxception of the woman in gas station, I saw very little confrontation. In fact...look at the good ol' boy filling his truck...the TG crew merit little more than a casual look and he completes his business.

The premise could have been funny but I suspect they were looking for more drama and danger than they really encountered. Look at the people on the interstate...they were obviously pissed that this caravan were rolling down the road at 40 mph blocking traffic moreso than their "clever" messages.

As a southerner who has travelled the world, I would never think of visiting a foreign country and behaving in such a manner. Unfortunately, I have to overcome the stereotype of the "ugly american" when abroad..
