Why does every other country get great TV commercials except the USA?

This thing doesn't work, I only get an error message :(

Also, I must disagree. To me, American commercials always seemed funnier than ours here. So the gras is always greener on the other side, I suppose.

Odd. Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2hQGOOR5g0&feature=player_embedded I think maybe it's an LJ issue, the error screen says "Firefox can't find the server at livejournalinc..com": that .. could be a config issue on their side.

Interesting, I didn't know that Fanta was also sold in Japan. And they have much more flavors, too!

As Maegwin said, we always think the other people have something better. I love European and Japanese commercials, they, for whatever inexplicably odd reason, seem to think ours may be better. Same thing with flavors, I guess.

OK, I'm a bit of a moron occasionally. I thought I was replying to DeboraK's post.

Those are really good. Except it reminds me how annoyed I am that the only place I can get Fanta Birch Beer is by going to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Considers lunch run . . .

Fanta Birch Beer? That sounds interesting. I did one of my fav Mexican places for lunch, that's one thing that I really dislike about Alamogordo: no really good Mexican food.
