Maybe, maybe not.
Basically, I don't see the point of calling 300 million people dumb and insecure as the key thrust of your argument. It's unnecessarily reductive.

But if the American consumer had never desired such a ridiculous vehicle they'd never have been imported here.
That's because they're a huge market, not because they're inherently any dumber or more insecure than we are.
-
Dopey US consumers - with insecurity complexes and an inability to go more than 30 seconds without eating/drinking - that have been pandered to by genius marketing and design groups desire those enormous, wallowing, dangerous beasts.
I don't think New Zealanders would win any 'smart consumer' prizes on this score either, frankly.

I am still no better informed.
A booty clap is when a lady wearing a g-string claps. With her bottom.
TMI. I guess some things are better left mysterious.'Normal people don't do that kind of crap', &c.
As someone who has (drunkenly, natch) experimented with the booty clap in the privacy of her own home, I must say that it's quite difficult to get the appropriate rhythm going. It's a bit like a hula hoop, or twirling nipple tassles in opposite directions. I doff my cap to those young ladies.

I drank a fo'ty once. It was not in Auckland, though.

Am I the only one who thinks that the 'Friday' video looks like an ALAC ad trying to do a sick kind of homage to the 'Smack My Bitch Up' video?
No. No you are not the only one.
Incidentally, why are 'the hotties' in NZ R&B or hip-hop videos always so instantly recognisable as *our* hotties? It can't just be that they're probably distantly related to me (like everyone in the country), can it? Is it our film stock? Their clothes? The light? I swear, I could see five seconds of a NZ video with Random Sexy People in it, without knowing the artist, and know they were local peeps. It's weird.

I wish 'It's Friday' wasn't filmed in such a characterless void of an apartment. It looks like the worst party ever.
Besides, a really New Zealand party is all about huddling in drunken groups outside a weatherboard house in the wind and rain, isn't it? :)

Drowning was popular, too.
That old 'if you drown, you were innocent! But if you survive, you're a witch so you get hung!' thing was kinda win-win, no?
Poor women-who-didn't-fit-the-norm. Paul Henry would be first in line to stick them in the dunking basket.

Anyway, that Best of Abba was an NZ/Aust only compilation.
And a copy of that very record is still sitting in my mother's LP cupboard, scratched to buggery.

Oh yes! He's a definite candidate for the Evil Scrum.
