Critics have long cited Americas cultural imperialism (see Chapter 7), flooding the world with US movies, music, television shows, fashion, and products. The strength of American cultural and economic power is evident when you witness a Thai man in a Tommy Hilfiger shirt watching Transformers at a Bangkok bar while eating a hamburger and drinking a Coke. Critics feel that American-produced culture overwhelms local movies (like Canadian movies). Usually 80% of movies in world cinemas are American.
