American Dream

When I think of the American dream, I think of long suburban streets in 1950's America, 2 cars int he driveway, 2.5 children playing in the backyard, a bottle of valium in the medicine cabinet, and daddy polishing mommy's leather dominatrix outfit. Apparently, however, the Japanese don't share this idyllic vision of the American Dream. Their vision of the American Dream apparently involves killer slot machines and massage therapists that want to rip out your liver and feed it to the killer casino monster. I don't like this vision of the American Dream. I like the one with Johnny making sure that the house is clean and the bills are paid before he goes to work at the postal office with an AK-47 and decides to make headline news. Not killer slot machines and homicidal massage therapists.
