Carl-E:
Everyone already knows about American "culture", it's one of our biggest exports.
Very few Americans know anything about other cultures. Even the ones they're descended from. One of the things poked fun at the most is the stereotypically American assumption that "everyone's just like us!"

I've only been reading for two years now, so it's hard to tell what happened when before I started reading. What were some of the plot points from three years ago?
Tova:
I think you're all being a bit bloody oversensitive, if that makes anyone feel better.
And now I shall proceed to mock my own culture. I'll pop open a cold one for yous all, and chuck another shrimp on the barbie.
Okay, I'm done.

Actually to be honest, I'm OK with that approach, too. As long as everyone is held to the same standards. I just find it annoying when everyone has to take it seriously when one person gets offended by a comment about culture, while if another person does they need to "chill out" because its an acceptable target.
Also @CarlE, I actually find that not to be the case (that everyone knows our culture). I've grown up in the US south, and I don't even think most of the US knows about my culture, much less people around the world. Just the stereotypical, derogatory, bullshit the media puts out.

Late at getting to this party...
Speedos are hardly the equivalent of a cameltoe, a banana hammock OTOH... A few points:
* I don't think that wet shorts (after swimming) would hide the male bulge anyway. Of course, if your plan was not to swim, then it's different.
* IMHO insisting on hiding the male bulge would be closer to insisting on hiding the female bulge of breasts, and women's beachwear is not exactly designed with that target in mind.
* Cameltoes are a problem, but wouldn't be such if it weren't for the silly fashion (hopefully goes away soon) of shaving the naturally occurring hair from private parts.
And as a punishment I want to give you a mental image of a middle-aged slightly overweight calculus teacher on a beach. Wearing five year old speedos, so some curls sticking out. Not checking out the girls, but just enjoying beach life with his family. The latest dip to the lake had the effect of shrinking his bulge, but also left droplets of water on his back. Running down towards the inevitable cleft...
