And yet, so inevitable. I vividly recall how Europeans in the 1980s and 1990s consumed all things American (Dallas, sitcoms, movies, McDonalds, KFC) and believed the McMansions and excesses they saw on film represented the US. Similarly, Americans at that time felt they were falling behind if they didn't have the lifestyles depicted on TV and in movies.

Fast forward to the internet and social media, and no surprise.
