  • [Humour] Bill Maher on foreigner reactions to America

    From Rhino@no_offline_contact@example.com to rec.arts.tv on Thu Jul 2 11:20:15 2026

    With many thousands of foreigners visiting America this summer for the
    FIFA games and America's 250th birthday, a lot of people who have only
    seen America previously through their media are now observing it with
    their own two eyes - and loving it! Bill Maher comments on this
    phenomenon and gives many examples.

    There are Facebook videos of tourists running around Costco screaming free samples and you can get food in the same store you can get a dishwasher?

    The whole experience has been a major eye-opener for everyone: the
    foreigners are astonished that at everything your country offers and
    Americans are astonished that other countries don't have the same
    things. You're starting to see that the things you take for granted are
    not universal and often aren't available in other advanced Western
    countries. Here's hoping it makes every American appreciate what they
    have more and inspires the foreigners to push their own countries for
    the same sorts of freedoms.

    Saw a vid of a couple of Japanese soccer fans visiting a Bass Pro store
    having a great time taking photos of themselves being handed one gun
    after another.
