It's funny how it's always American who "forget" to mention that something is scoped to their country. I kind of always felt that given that their country is so vast, they must feel like there is nothing more out there, or at least it's not worth mentioning. I've found many, many American businesses trying to sell their product via ads or other kind of marketing, but "forgetting" to mention that they are US-only. I'm not trying to attack American people or something, it's just a personal (and probably very biased) observation that I've had.

i work for a large US corporation, and also did in my last job (i'm in the UK) .... it seems to be a general thing to forget the US is not the only place people live in the world ... the majority of memo's we get spammed with are US centric and only applicable there. It seems to be a mind set in general thats pervasive in the staes.

... hence the title referring specifically to "U.S. government".

Pretty sure the title was changed.

i feel the obligatory insensitive clod response to be appropriate to this post.... or is that to slashdot for hacker news?
