Strike Japan, replace with "America", and every last one of my coworkers would agree with this statement.

Here's the man on the street view: "When Americans build a car, you see, they don't think of putting it down a tiny little street into a big driveway. They think it is a covered wagon, travelling out west like you see in the cowboy movies. So they make it HUGE. And then you go to their cities and do they make little rinky dinky 10 story office buildings? No -- they make GIANT HUNDRED FLOOR office buildings. They're also culturally predisposed to liking swagger, because of the cowboys. That is why John Wayne and George Bush are so popular."
