Ah, I beg to differ. The Brits contribute heavily to cultural imperialism, but
they've hidden it behind US adaptations of their material. It's a sad fact that
much of our pop culture, particularly music and television, has its origins in
the UK, but is taken and rebranded as a US product, and then spread globally.
(Not to mention that many of our pop culture icons are ex-pat Canadians who
came south to the land of low taxes.) Brits must be snickering every time some
international wag wags his finger at US cultural imperialism. (That's my story
and I'm sticking to it.)
