The US isn't all that bad afterall
Apparently there have been some folks in this country who seem to have gotten the United States of America confused with Colombia South America. It is an honest mistake, both of them are in America, one in the north and one in the south. The difference is that South America is generally warmer, the beaches are generally more tropical, and the obsession with looks is WAY greater than ours.
We have TV shows featuring women with plastic enhancements. They have TV shows ABOUT women getting plastic enhancements. The Simple Life was a tragic reality show here. There it would be a tragedy about a young woman and her friend who want love and frienship inspite of their lack of "aftermarket options", and their eating disorders.
They say that if you are ever feeling bad about yourself, you only need to open your eyes and see that there are people way worse off than you. Thanks to this piece of news I can now rest comfortably knowing that the US is still pretty darned good, and the folks in Colombia need to embrace mother nature's gift of wonderous variety.

I don't mean to bust yer bubble or nuthin', but... "The Swan"? Which, btw, was reality TV at its absolute worst. Thank god it tanked. Finally. After eight and a half hideous months. There are, unfortunately, others that are similar.
And here we have tv shows (both comedies and tragedies, both reality shows and otherwise) where folks need "aftermarket options" (great tag line, btw :-D) and eating disorders just to get and stay on them.
I guess it's just all a matter of perspective.

Nope, I just can't say we're any better than any body else for any reason lol Just... the same but different :-D
And, for the record, currently, it's a love/hate relationship, depending on what we're talking about.
