I grew up in India in the 80's with tons of old Disney cartoons on the TV, and distinctly remember such scenarios. All of us kids used to have a good laugh - it was funny because of it's absurdity. Of course, here in the US that innocence is probably lost for good. Just made me wonder if this is just a throwback to the times when life here used to be more 'regular'!

I think this guy practiced counting money in a number of different ways, and made the rest of the stuff up. In India, my dad counts money in a way which is not shown here. He holds the wad down, and then counts in a way that is somewhat of a cross between what the video calls Eastern European and African. I cannot count that way and always used what is supposed to be the American way. I have never seen anyone count money in what the video calls Indian way. And to believe that there will be a huge difference in counting styles between India and Pakistan, is plain stupid ;-) My 2 cents.

#6 and #15 - I second (or third?) that. Here in Germany you won't even know that Valentine's Day is coming up unless you go looking for it. Life feels so much peaceful - nobody is trying to shove a completely commercial event down your throat and make you believe that is what you need to do to fit in.

Though Saudis are going at it from a totally wrong perspective, and their decree is rather retarded, I will disagree that it is a sign of cultural clash between Islam and the West. West is, after all, not just USA.
