Well, the bits about most of the audience being in the US are sort of "Made in the USA", then the bits about "In the US, you can get a window unit air conditioner for under $100 US" are pretty much "Made in the USA"...

I suppose you might say it was tounge in cheek, just as my initial thoughts were tounge in cheek, I was going to reply with this:

How about you guys move out of the 18th centry and get with the metric system!

I guess if I had said that some of you "Yanks" would take that in a negative light, and I guess it is, metric is simple and sane!
