Would anybody with any kind of mid or high class intentions even buy this? Or is the culture in Russia just completely upside down from what it is here that this becomes feasible?

I've spent too much time online to believe that. The US isn't the paragon of good life choices that some people make it out to believe. "But you see so much stupidity from russia!" Yeah, and it gets retold because it's news, because it's unusual. I'm sure that people in Russia are laughing at US redneck dumps and saying the same things. Please get that 'the other is backwards' mentality out of your head. We're all people. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're all people. It wasn't meant to be insulting. It's just culture shock, that's all. Just like how I'll never understand how people wear camo tuxedos to weddings. Or anything found on www.peopleofwalmart.com. Maybe I'm just a sheltered little boy. At the end of the day, to each their own. If someone wants to rock WoT jewellery to their next gala/event/tea party, all the power to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't agree more. I don't see a lot of the mentality over here in England and we always just roll our eyes when we hear things like that come from across the pond.

This an understatement. Part of my job is assisting in getting people who are Japanese set up here in the US for work. Some of them think they are gun otakus. Then they get over here, and meet real Texas Gun Nuts. but then by the time they get here they already know personaly just how crazy we are, after all we do enjoy root beer floats, straight root beer, insainly spicy food, and other things....
