here in the US we have graphic violence on TV but no boobies allowed. in Europe it seems its the other way around, lots of Boobies but not much violence.

The difference in cultures, even within the U.S. are astounding. I've lived in California and Colorado, far enough away from eachother that my experience lead me to believe most of the U.S. was not much different. Then I spent some time in the Midwest (Minnesota) and East Coast (Connecticut) and I continually had to remind myself that I was indeed in the same country. I think the two images of the U.S. that most of the world pictures, unfortunately, are perverted stereotypes of Texans and Southern Californians. People write us off as ignorant, gluttonous savages in most cases. It saddens me that most of the world has one idea of the U.S. and it's usually negative.
when i went to Cali once(im from CT) i found atleast the people in sanfran seem more laid back, here in CT everyone seems in so much of a rush. but my stereotype of Socal is constant sun and people who dont know what snow or rain is. and yes i ROFL at video of the southern states when they get an inch of snow and people slide everywhere and towns close for weather i dont even turn my 4wd on for.

i once told an american that in the UK we have to have a liscence to legally watch TV.
he nearly fainted over vent. apparently they didnt know this.
i know its how things like the BBC are paid for and why the BBC has better programing then our PBS here in the US.
my question is how do they handle hotels? i mean every room in a hotel has a TV set does a hotel pay for 600+ sets or does the TV authority have special setups for such locations(ie a bulk contract similar to Enterprise level software licensing).
oddly enough here in the US if you have cable you in a way pay a per home TV tax in this little thing called a franchchise fee
