I was in a video store the other day, and there was a whole impromptu discussion group going on around the "F" section of New Releases. Some guy had been about to rent "The Fast And The Furious" 
but then another guy browsing around said he hated the movie because all the cars are foreign cars except one or two, and only the foreign cars are depicted as GREAT cars... So people began to talk about whether the movie was a big commercial for foreign cars, an insult to US cars, and whether such issues should even matter to someone trying to find a good movie to see.
It was a pretty fun visit to the video store. (I decided to pass on the movie, even though I do think Jordana Brewster is the sexiest thing out there...)
