Depends where you go. While the Europeans may not walk the streets with their bits hanging out, certainly the front covers alone on a French news-stand would prompt a tarring-and-feathering in the US. (How well do you think
this French anti-smoking advert would have gone down—so to speak—in Kansas?)
well, it depends. Have you ever been to Las Vegas. It's easy to be lulled into the stereotype that Americans are uptight prudes, especially if it makes you feel superior about yourself. But there is a huge variation in local culture in the US, and probably the same goes for every country in the world. I wouldn't begrudge a small Kansas farming town that chooses to deny a business license for a pornshop - it's their call. And I'm not overly shocked by the bums hired to hand out vivid escort fliers at Las Vegas street corners. And most Americans probably don't even notice the magazine cover at almost every supermarket checkout stand which has, for decades, boasted the headline
"how to fuck better". So, Eva, please lay off us narrow minded 'tarring-and-feathering' Americans, because I think it's prejudicial, unproductive and probably inaccurate.
