In which case, I'd say this shows how petty, and pathetic the American public can be...

I'm also sure that it must have been provoked, newspapers, TV e.t.c, who were giveing it negative press....

You can say anything you like in America, so long as it's not against America....

example, Zappa was banned from numerous Cities (well, allover the world, but particularly America) because he sang some songs that sent up American, I mean, why do peple take everything so personally?

If I hear somebody say something negative about England, I don't go off in a huf, and start protesting, and trying to get things banned...
