what in the article had anything to do with a lack of culture?
anything less than a Tonya Harding boxing match?
anything less than a Jerry Springer show?
did you miss the writer noting the strangeness of the situation?
bear in mind here that american culture is also seen as an oxymoron by snooty europeans.
please don't provide open displays of ignorance when as a young country you're in the same boat as us..

Are you telling me Tonya Harding and Jerry Springer aren't high culture? Fuck! What about porn?
In all seriousness, though, I'd say there are white trash elements in a lot of cultures: English, German, Swedish, Australia and of course in the U.S.
But, given how young we are, we've contributed a fairly significant amount to culture, of course both high and low.
The same country that brought you Tonya Harding, Jerry Springer, and Coyote Ugly also brought you jazz, blues, rock, house music, hip hop and film.
