Americans for the most part are only dimly aware there's an outside world in the first place. The amount of covering up that needs to be done is minimal.
I had a friend that that looked like they were offended when they found out Australian Idol was a thing and it wasn't just in America.
It wasnβt even originally an American thing, itβs from the UK.
Wait, is it just called "Idol" there?
Pop Idol.
Exactly. Hence the name distinguishing it as the "American" one.... People (Americans?) are so dumb.
