Athens chief fumes at US lewdness claims
Reuters via Yahoo News reports that "A clutch of complaints by U.S. viewers that the Athens Olympics opening ceremony featured lewd nudity has incensed the Games chief, who warned American regulators to back off from policing ancient Greek culture.""[Gianna] Angelopoulos, who said the handful of U.S. complaints were dwarfed by the 3.9 billion people who watched the ceremony, had a blunt message.
"As Americans surely are aware, there is great hostility in the world today to cultural domination in which a single value system created elsewhere diminishes and degrades local cultures," she said in her commentary."
Somehow, we have to get ahold of ourselves with this "values" thing or we're going to become the laughingstock of the entire world.
