If this is the case than the US is the one being assaulted by "Cultural Imperialism". We IMPORT way more product than we EXPORT. Look at the "made in" stamps on the products you buy. Guarantee you US made products are few and far between. Your unknowingly culturaly assailed by the Chiniese.

Excerpt from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe exists. QED.

Feel free to replace "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" with "Earth creatures with seventeen eyes, sapience, and sixty pink wings", or anything that strikes your fancy. That, and IG2 happens to be in a different setting than real life.

And if you want to nitpick, Puke wrote "cultural imperialism"; the " sign seems to mean Puke considered the phrase as being incorrect. The other uses of this sign do not seem to apply here: it is not a quotation, or spoken speech, or a word of foreign origin, or the name of a book/movie, or a way to delimit propositions.
