Re: The Viet-Bulgarian Empire

Cowboy hat. Union Jack. Strip poker. Woman playing girl dressing up as woman in high heels. Jujyfruit sneakers. That's to go along with the Asianisms and the Bulgarianisms and the Native Americanism. In America, this would seem politically tone deaf, to have a cowboy casually holding an Indian maid. How do you suppose this plays in Bulgaria? I wonder what cultural studies classes say about this sort of thing, if they're all disapproval. I think it's relatively cute — compared to the only other Bulgarian vid I've paid attention to in the last several years, labelmate Andrea's "Dokrai," which I wasn't even willing to embed (received a comment on YouTube, "I'm sorry, but this is pornography").
