It's Complicated
Inspired by simply watching American news and TV series. America have very complicated feelings about breasts.
Originally America was holding a Teddy Bear, but he likes Teddy Eagles better.

I love how America slowly gets more, and more tan throughout the comics.

As a Canadian, I'm quite thrilled to see a couple of people would want one of us to sit on them. Should I volunteer? *bats lashes*

Iv never seen anything like that before. Guys are happy to touch boobs around her. :/ But I live by Chicago, and we're apparently very promiscuous.

I love my Canadian external mind, she helps me understand the rest of the world an almost inestimable amount. So very similar that she can explain things for me, yet cosmopolitan enough that she understands the ways of other nations.

"we abhor awakening feelings and desires and yet tv and movies show so much innuendo and sexualized images that young people see."
It's not so much that we abhor awakening feelings as it is suppressing them because certain "morality groups" throw a hissy fit at anything non-traditional or approved, hence why we hide a lot of innuendo in our media to get around them. I will say that, when I went back to watch Home Improvement as an adult (watched it during its entire run as a kid), I saw Heidi in a completely new light.
And Sister Sweden...you adorable little perv

I can't tell you how much I want a small Canadian to sit on my head and help me through difficult situations like this. I bet my little Canadian would give great advice.

Funny story: American movies with an 18 years rating due to sexual content tend to get demoted to 11 years (7 in the company of an adult) in Sweden. While the violent ones who rate 13 years in the US get pushed up to 15 years in Sweden. We think the yanks are incredibly stuck up about sex and sexuality and way too comfortable with violence, and they think the other way around about us. . .

That's why us Americans stick to violence, guns are simpler than sex.

Americans are very guarded about sex. It's really funny. Canadians are "shy" about it because we have so many different cultures existing in our country that it's just easier to keep it behind closed doors... but we all know what happens behind those doors!

@mijicat: As a Norwegian who's lived in the US and love both the country and the people, I'd like to attempt some clarification. From a Scandinavian (I should probably be cautious and say Norwegian) point of view, it's not so much that we think you're pricks, but by our standards normal American behavior is synonymous with a slightly over-the-top "bubbly" personality. As a consequence, Americans in Norway tend to be stereotyped with both the positive and negative traits normally associated with a bubbly personality (happy, positive, fun, but also slightly annoying, excessively emotional and somewhat less than an intellectual powerhouse).
The other stereotype, of course, is "the ugly American", which is partly a result of the policies of the US government, and partly a result of Scandinavians' low tolerance for loud and aggressive behavior. Basically, some cultural translation is necessary, because what's considered "confident and assertive" in the US will be interpreted as "aggressive, possibly hostile" in Scandinavia. I think part of the problem is the mutual tendency to assume that there are only very minor cultural differences between Scandinavians and Americans, so we don't cut each other as much slack as we probably should.

American media is very complicated: we abhor awakening feelings and desires and yet tv and movies show so much innuendo and sexualized images that young people see. We can't sex directly on tv, but we can allude to it.

"Yep that is American boys just like they call everything gay yet they shout out penis "
The group of people most obsessed with penises is heterosexual males between the ages of 14-29.
