- One in five Americans has genital herpes. But you can buy a medication to slow it BUT THERE IS NO CURE. Da-da-da-daaaaaa
- People ought to vote for or against some kind of option 6 in Ohio about casinos
- If you're going to vote for some kind of senior lawyer, know that he LET CRIMINALS LOOSE
- If you're going to vote for a certain Ohio state representative, know that HE HANGS AROUND WITH CORRUPT PEOPLE
- Obama and McCain commericals say things about each other, but never about themselves
- If I use an American Express card, I am a CREATOR!
- What Americans really want to watch Saturday night is celebrities learning to do the model catwalk. I smell a British TV reality show coming up...
- EVERYTHING HAS A WEB ADDRESS ON IT. EVEN THE CHANNEL IDENTS. WAKE UP BBC!!!!!

And just because I've sat through 120 minutes of Knight Rider 2008...

- Knight Rider 2008 is obsessed with foreigners doing anti-American things using American technology on American soil. And girls in bikinis. Fortunately, a multi-ethnic cast of Latinos, Asians and middle-class white men with gadgets are there to stop them.
- In Knight Rider 2008, people also enact high-speed car chases while simultaneously maintaining televideo contact, moving graphical windows around with their fingers and watching girls in bikinis
- Chinese Americans are obsessed with fast cars, and fast rap music. Well, I guess it beats the British version where we're just obsessed with kung fu.
- To be fair, Knight Rider 2008 is also obsessed with American super-spies being naughty and secret and wiping soldier's memories. And if you can't trust your superior officers, who can you trust?
- Not your contact on the inside, because he turns out to just be interested in the money. And you can't get more American than that.
- Unless of course you are a hot girl in a bikini, because you can always trust a hot girl in a bikini.
- Especially when she's a hot geek Chinese girl in a tanktop making snide remarks at geeks who lust after them.
- Who the hell decided that a Ford Mustang could replace a Trans-Am and that NOBODY WOULD NOTICE?

Having said that, it's an interesting way of trying to relaunch a TV series without changing a *single* thing about it, aside from the technology.

Political adverts over here have been the same for years now. Labour adverts tell you what the Tories will do if they get into power and vice versa. Bloody pointless.

As for KR2008, I saw the pilot episode in Phnom Penh and it was about as cheesy as the original. The change in car was highlighted in some way, but overall I think it looks far too much like the 1980's version to be worthwhile. It could get away with it *because* it was the 1980's. Unless the new one's improved on the trailer, it's really going to struggle.
