    “An Americanizer”

    Posted on August 17, 2007 by russia

    an americanizer

    These Russian guys want to patent their gadget which they demonstrate on this video. They call it “An Americanizer” because according to their words “American people always smile – so using this gadget you can turn anyone into an American”.







    More Russian stuff:

                    Nobody wants to take a picture of an ugly operator. That’s why the operator is always hiding behind the camera.

        Humour in civilised societies often involves expressing a lack of respect for the target of that humour. The freedom to publish deeply disrespectful satire is an essential part of any society with political freedom. What gets called `democratic government’ these days has its roots in the Europe of the 17th to 19th centuries. The political satire that developed with newspaper culture (particularly in London, where one power centre was) in the 18th century makes most modern commentators look very tame. And as for what they got up to when the French Revolution was running – oh boy!

        In any decent society, you need someone yelling disrespectfully from the sidelines, saying all the things that `nice people’ won’t say. Britain has http://www.private-eye.co.uk/. A lot of governments won’t allow that sort of thing to be published – countries so governed are all worse places to live than Britain.

        Any society where disrespect is barred is a society that contains a great deal of unacceptable repression. For example, there is a law in Turkey that bans expressing disrespect for Turkey and Turkish institutions. There is no such law in the UK where I live. What are the consequences of this? Well, in Turkey, you’re likely to find yourself shot dead if you, for example, publish an article suggesting that Turkey might have been responsible for wholesale murder of Albanians (it’s happened). We do not have similar problems in the UK. A political cartoonist in the UK can, for example, represent Tony Blair as Dubya’s lapdog, or Gordon Brown as Stalin (Steve Bell of the Guardian has done this) and get nothing in return except his usual pay. That is how it’s done in decent societies.

        Please can we have some more disrespectful jokes? Done well – as this one is – they are very funny and often make worthwhile points.

      Wow. You guys are pretty rude to each other.

      As an American living in Ukraine, I find that video hilarious. I think it is interesting how Americans feel that smiling is the definition of friendliness, and how they feel so awkward being over here with no one smiling.

      On the other hand Russians think that all our smiling is phony (which is most of the time is). “Why in the world are smiling at me when I don’t even know you?” seems to be the attitude. I hear someone say once, Russians smile when they mean it. I think that’s it.

      Americans smile all the time, even when they don’t mean it.
      Russians smile when they mean it.

      Great video for poking fun at the differences between the two societies, each one feeling sorry for the other.

        I wrote in a previous comment about the smiling issue. A russian girl studying at Moscow University wrote a graduation paper about the subject. In short this is what she found out.
        Indeed Russians always seem gloomy and troubled because in comparison to the rest of the world, they don’t smile a lot, esp. in public.
        Reasons : in the rest of the world [so not just the US] a smile means ‘I’m harmless, I have good intentions.’ In Russia, a smile from a stranger is interpreted as ‘I think you are ridiculous’. So if you smile to a Russian he will probably think you’re pulling his leg or trying to make fun of him. In male/female situations it also has a very strong sexual undertone, more than in the rest of the world.

        In shops a welcoming smile is also not common. This, combined with the lack of service and general disrespect for the customer is considered bad business by the outside world. I think they have a point there.

        All things aside – Russians ARE gloomy. But they DO have a sense of humor. More than Germans i.e.

        Someone mentioned the flat intonation of the Russian language – this does NOT apply to women talking, mind you !

        I’m still not sure what I prefer: a smile that might be phony, or no smile at all. I’m leaning to the possible ‘phony’ smile. When I see someone smiling at me, it makes me feel more happy. And the ‘phony’ thing: you quickly find out how to calculate this in, so you’re not surprised anymore when it turns out that way. And you still have your happy feeling.
