Interesting interview. I’ve always thought about how poorly we are represented in the world because American culture seems so sleazy these days. I remember watching a CHIPs episode (I was young what can I say) with all the boobs and abs during the Iran hostage crisis and thinking no wonder the Ayatollah thought we were the great Satan. Its even worse now. As Ms. Bayles notes its not just the sexual sleaze but no positive stories either.
