Just a quick survey. I am interested in what you think. I previously studied marketing and want to know how American products do on a global scale, specifically with Muslims. No doubt politically that the USA isn't very popular around this board...but that doesn't mean that Muslims can't enjoy American products such as McDonalds, Cadillac, Levi Jeans, Nike, General Electric etc.
So...the question I have is, "What American products, if any, are you fond of?"
Media/entertainment: ECW, WWF , Reality TV shows , (cheaters n Jerry Pathetic) blah blah so forth
U want to mention lil john da east side boyz the whole
In the “Projects” ghettos in S.Africa , Gangs called “Americans” with Tu-pac n Snoop idolized, he was in concert a month back in my town.
Tommy, Guess Gap, Timberland, DKNY, Louis veton the whole shebang of bling bling
Im chattin noncense, but the America influence is overpowering. Marketing excellent and the buyers are not targeted simply on ethnicity yet the whole spectrum of socio economic demographics,
I seen my Mates newphew, muslim kid, 6 yrs old, playin with toy soilders fighting "make belief" iraqis getting killed by em.....
Before I boycott, i loved 31 flavor, till now i like cartoon movies, all of them. I mean all cartoon charcters: Duffy duck, tweety, road runner..etc.
Tennis rackets...I enjoy the scenery in the US. Insh aAllah I will post this in particular on the smiling thread :)
BTW curious, I must note something, that do understand that we as muslims we totally separate between the American policy and policy makers and Amercian people. if I boycott, I want to harm the policians and shake them off their chairs. We have nothing against Americans themselves. We are aware that there is a good percentage who are just like us are in total disagreement with American foreign policy.
U know I always thought ford was an aussie company. Because we have a car race in aus with Ford and holden. By the way Holden has won 5 times in a row we rock. Well Holden is a aussi company so I just assumed Ford was cause they race together here. I thought it was aus car vs aus car.

dont ask me how i find the time to watch so much tv , the only uk shows i like is The Bill , Top Gear and MOTD (match of the day)
Remember brother, we are going to be asked on day of judgement about our time and what we spent it in, so it seems a lot of ur time is wasted on so many TV shows, and watch out, some of the shows have scenes that are not permissable for Muslims to look at.
Just an advice for your Muslim sister.

So...the question I have is, "What American products, if any, are you fond of?"
The American stuff I mostly like is food.
Apple pie
Mash potatoes
Hot dogs (spicy)
I think those are all American foods, if I am not mistaken
THere might be other foods, but I kind of get confused between what is American and what is not.
