Under a programme starting next month, several leading US companies will give employees heading abroad a "World Citizens Guide" featuring 16 etiquette tips on how they can help improve America's battered international image.
I also quote the friend who I got the link from: "I agree that the Sheriff J. W. Pepper paper doll tourist needs to be dialed back eight notches, but before the U.S. government tells me how I should temper my behavior while traipsing along foreign shores, I'd like it to first wrench that gigantic invade-a-sovereign-nation-on-false-pretenses-like-schoolyard-bullies plank from its own eye. That'll do wonders in prettying up the image of the ugly American; we can then proceed with assassinating Tommy Bahama."
