     Correction, Ulf: it IS a joke! :-)
     Personally, I'm waiting for the laws limiting the legal
importation of non-Europeans. Actually, that's been done too. What
a strange world we live in! Seriously though, I wonder how we
expect to preserve European culture by sealing it up heremetically in
a box, or bashing American films and TV. Certainly, Europe produces
commercial product every bit as trashy as America's. Just watch any
soap opera; or come to Britain and turn on ITV for a free
demonstration.
