Eagle Land: Difference between revisions

* There has been a recent surge in popularity of British television in America, started by ''[[Doctor Who]],'' but carried on by ''[[Merlin]],'' ''[[Sherlock]],'' ''[[Downton Abbey]],'' ''[[Being Human (UK)|Being Human]],'' etc. The stars of the series frequently visit the States to give interviews and have actually attended a few premieres. When this happens, someone will often ask if there's a difference between US and UK audiences, and one answer that almost without fail pops up is that American audiences are much, much ''louder.'' While being loud during a movie would be seen as incredibly annoying, more than a few of them ([[Matt Smith]], for example) have said that they enjoy it in an odd way, since it gives them an instant feedback to see what works, what doesn't, what was funny, and what fell flat. Add another to the "split the difference" column.

* It should be noted that the United States is, by far, the largest donor of foreign aid to developing nations. However, this is only because the United States is really, really, rich. If you go by donations per capita rather than donations overall, than the United States is only number nineteen, with Sweden being number one. Then again, this does not take into account NGO or private donations, which like most G20 nations the US has quite a lot of.
