(Though based on some of the things I've seen just driving around Fairbanks, I suspect with adequate camera coverage you could make one for the US that is at least as bad. Probably with more cops, however ....)
In other news, we bought FURNITURE. Like grown-ups. We're 36, have been married for 12 years, and have never actually just gone out and bought a piece of new furniture, as opposed to acquiring things from garage sales and occasionally the dump (well, plus a couple of nice pieces that The Husband made during one of the periods he went on a woodworking kick). So last week we went to a furniture store and bought a pair of nice recliners, an end table and a cool table-thing with a bunch of drawers in it (which there is probably a technical term for, but I don't know it). They were delivered today and I'm all ecstatic over my shiny new living room. It doesn't look that great, since I still have the interior decorating sense of a hamster, but at least it has comfortable places to sit that are not covered with cat hair.*
*The cat is attempting to remedy this situation even as I type.

If it makes you feel better, I'm 47 and just bought my first new furniture this year, to replace the hand-me-down living room set I got from my mom when I moved out of their place 25 years ago. I've had the new couch and recliner for a few weeks now, and I still grin like a fool every time I look at them. Comfortable things! In colors I like! That support me!! \o/
It's amazing the difference it makes.
My poor cats can't figure out why I'm suddenly so determined to clip their claws all the time, though. *g*
ETA: Also, wtf, that video!

(My cat just got fussed off for trying to sharpen his claws on one of the new chairs. He's all, "How kind of you to bring home this new scratching post just for me!")

Also I should not have laughed so much at that car video, but some of them were just so funny. Clearly we need more dashboard cameras in the US. (Why does everyone in Russia seem to have one???)

... also, if laughing at that video makes you a bad person, then I am one too, because I laughed my ass off.
