Stereotypes

I was thrilled to be able to catch this travel advertisement on the back of one of our much loved & used Luxembourg city buses. The Texan smoking a giant cigar is awesome--- come to America and see cowboys! This is the second advertisement for traveling to the USA that I've seen. I haven't been able to catch the first on film; it's a blond cheerleader in a sparkling red, white & blue sequin number with terrible red lipstick. Ahhh, what does this say about how Europeans view Americans? It's sad but likely a true image of what they think of us.

I clicked the link and was able to get close ups of the 3 ads they are using. Too funny!
