The original connotation of the term, "Ugly American," morphed to it's present form almost as soon as the movie was released. It speaks volumes to the fact that the American public has trouble paying attention to detail that the Ugly American was, in fact, a good guy.

We all know what it means today and I believe the unintended meaning serves a better purpose. There are Americans who do act in an ugly manner and it's fitting that we should have a label for them. They deserve it.

USA political comments/discussion/rants belong in off-topic, not a Baja Photo Gallery.

Noticing a pattern here of negative results by chance?:

It's easy, next time... avoid whatever drives you to do so. Based upon the results, it's not working out very well - judging from your above note, you already know this.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration going forward.
