I'm kinda culturally embarrassed by it, as a native is (or this native is) so often by so much of our insular way (with its arrogance as icing on the barely comestible cake). Cuz I'm thinking it might have something to do with the sort of omnipresent catered-to matching up we provide and expect others to provide for children to safe, known archetypes of smiley benign predictability. Which seems not unrelated to branding and franchising and television and action figures and the marketable recognizable stock thingness that's sort of a specialty of the U.S.
Or, of course, it has nothing to do with any of that at all.
