When we speak of the "model American" we are actually talking about either
the design team at a consumer manufaturer or their Madison Avenue
advertiser. These folks need to target a specific demographic so they need
this model. There's really nothing nefarious about it. Unless of course the

- it easily pumps viscous vegetable oil
- it comes with an attachment and measuring bottle that allows the bottle

Keith,
Your preaching to the choir here. I know exactly where you're coming from.

Hi Kirk and Everyone,
