Here are some photos of things that I found in the Philippines that would never be allowed in America:
There is a restaurant in Manila called the Hobbit House. They have the place done up in a Lord of the Rings motif, charge (relatively speaking) exorbitant prices for beer and food, sell t-shirts and hats, and, oh, did I mention that all of the waiters are, shall we say, vertically challenged? Maybe I'm being a little too sensitive, but I don't think this would fly in America. But if it did, I'd probably go there. Hobbits and beer? I'm so there.
Hey, guess what? You're ugly! We love our plastic surgery in America and while it is fine to give every sorority girl an eating disorder and self image issues, we draw the line at telling hideously deformed whatever it is that is in that picture they need some work.
Americans like having white teeth and would have no problem if the color chart in this girl's hand were showing off the color of her pearly whites, but she's actually showing off her snowy white skin. An advertisement like this would cause outrage in America. I remember a few years back someone accused Rollins College of being racist because their summer school brochure said you'd get a tan while you studied or something along those (tan) lines (ha, ha). You see, some people don't work on their tans because they were born with one. Racists!
