In America, you can start at the bottom, and if you are enough determined and talentuous, you can climb the social ladder and reach the highest positions in all field. This is America and that's why I love America.
PS: I don't pretend to be good in english, so sorry in advance for my bad english.
What I like most in America is that EVERYTHING is possible if you have talent. Victor Chatiel is a french man (like me) and his strong french accent (even after living in the US for 38 years) is NOT an handicap to be the mayor of Las-Vegas. A such thing is simply impossible in France cause french are too conservative, too proud of their language. In France, if you have a foreign accent and want to get a high profile job in politics for instance... NO WAY for you to succeed but NOT in America.
Over here in Britian sticking your 2 fingers up with the palm facing towards you has the same meaning as sticking the middle finger up. you see it alot when you cut some on up on the road. So this advert is funny if you think about it from our perspective.
@COTDCobra Not just in the UK, though to be fair, I'm from a Commonwealth country. The one-fingered salute didn't come along until my teen years, and while it may not have been obvious from my previous posts, I LOVE this ad. It makes me laugh every time I see it. So much so that I hope my US Citizenship is through before the elections. Anyone that can pull off a mass flip-off deserves my vote!
Offensive to Brits? Churchill throwing the V-sign is an iconic British image, just search google images: "Winston Churchill victory sign". I guess Winston must have missed the memo ... all of you who post these comments are so idiotic ... might I also mention that we live in the USA!
@JohnLVpride Excellent reading comprehension skills! I did not say it was offensive to Brits. In fact, any Brits (or anyone else aware of the other meaning), would find it amusing that Victor has managed to get dozens of people to flip Las Vegas off en masse! As to Churchill, while you're googling, pay attention to the fact that there's only a couple of images of him using the reversed gesture. Why? Because once he was told it's meaning, he switched it.
Bahahaaa-I saw my teacher in here :D

I wonder if Victor realizes that in many countries the reverse peace sign is the equivalent of giving someone the finger?
