What the fuck is up with this?!First off, this sign makes absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever.
Why would a shop called Euro Nails be using an American style??
I do not have an answer to this question.
It is absurd, and something I have been noticing a lot in my short time (around 9 months) living in the Czech Republic.
They like to call things "American", and the only thing that I can see that makes it American is the fact that there are the colors of the American flag present and maybe some stripes/stars apparent somewhere (like in this sign, with the stars in the big "E" for EURO. jeez).
A couple weekends ago I visited a small Czech city called Podebrady, and in the center there was an "American" Pizza cart. As far as I could tell, the pizza was Czech. And what the hell is American style pizza anyways? As an American I would really like to know what "American style" means.
And also, why people would choose this as a way to make business. Are Czech people drawn to anything that says America on it? I mean, yeah, sometimes I see some douchebag on the street wearing a T-shirt with an American flag staring me in the face. But I figured they are just some pathetic tourist, showing some pride.
But after just one trip to Prague's crackhead-cheap second hand shop, Megasekac, I realized that Czech people have a shitload of American-flag ridden clothing items. Boxer shorts, Baby T's, Hoodies and more! Get yer American paraphanelia today at the 30 krown shop!!
In a country that has been in Communist depression for 40 years, they have done a shitload of turn-around in the last 20 years since the Velvet Revolution. And yes, they are one of the USA's most loyal allies - even going so far as offering up Czech land for an American-owned military Radar.
But why show such pride for a country that has lost most of it's own pride in the last 8 years (George Bush's presidency, need I say more)?
I am stumped.
So WTF - why don't y'all show yer Czech pride in the U.S.A. ??!!!
Oh yeah, because We're #1! We're #1!
[jus' kidding! i aint got no american pride]
