Last week we ran an anonymous report from the UN Women’s Guild bazaar in Geneva that described the processed, corporate offerings at the American booth. Well, dear reader, here’s the proof: Four anonymous photos from the American women’s booth.
As the UN Women’s Guild says, at the bazaar “one will find a myriad of national booths and restaurant stalls at which native crafts and foods are sold.”
As George W. Bush says, “They hate us for our freedom.”
As Holden Caulfield says, “Jesus H. Christ.”
P.S. My headline is an homage to Samantha Power’s book. These offerings surely embarrass our creative ambassador, too.
Okaay.
So who (corporate, natch!) sponsored the American Women’s booth?
Obviously ‘somebody’ thought mass production is a modern craft!
If only Sam Walton were here to see the success of his cultural coup d’état! Cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap! Didn’t the Americans invent the internet and i phones?
Ugh. This place is a cultural desert.
Some American dishes I think are from the Native Americans like stew with turkey and corn.
Geez, Phil…go right ahead, criticize my staple diet.
