Negative comments have made me bitchy...
For lack of better topics, let me explain why I went on this sudden, militant trip on blocking people. If you look on my entry on famous people who hate America, there are three comments. Really though, there are two because I erased one from this fat bitch who wrote something to the effect of:
"Blah blah I am Hitler and what I say is right...where the hell do you get off?"
Apparently she thought I stepped over a certain line when I made the presumption that only people who achieve fame in America can be famous around the world. I stand by my original statement, but I will clarify what I meant to this person because she is obviously dyslexic: I didn't say only Americans can be famous around the world. I said that even if you are famous in your native country, you aren't known worldwide unless you are known in the U.S.
And what is the logic to that? Because American companies have the means and finances to market their artists around the world. That is why people in China know who Britney Spears is. That is why Spiderman is one of the top grossing movies of all time. That is why you have a bunch of familiar faces coming out of America because they made movies here.
Zhang Zhi Yi, Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, Jim Carrey, Jet Li, Pamela Anderson, that guy from Will & Grace---they aren't Americans, yet they became well-known because their work was marketed in the U.S. Some of them were famous in their own countries before this, but did we know them? Do we know any famous foreign stars when we've never seen any of their work? Do I expect a Spanish movie distributor to come up with the money to put a film into international movie theaters? No. I expect a foreign movie company to sell its rights to Miramax, Universal, or some other AMERICAN COMPANY. And if it's a hit AROUND THE WORLD, the actor/actress will achieve WORLDWIDE FAME because of AMERICAN DISTRIBUTION.
So FUCK YOU BITCH. That's where the hell I get it from...because I fucking thought about it...maybe you should have stopped stuffing your ass with food and done the same thing before leaving a stupid ass comment.

Counterexample .... Soccer stars, the best players are known worldwide and are extremely marketable but little is known about them in the US because soccer as a sport never caught on. Having David Beckham does not count .. it's like having an aging A-Rod playing for a mediocre baseball league in UK ... one great, brandname but aging player is not going to turn a mediocre league around.
