1/3 Less Commercials
For every 10 hours of TV that Americans watch, three hours are taken by commercials. In the UK and much of Europe, there's a limit on the amount of adverts shown of 8 minutes per hour of television during prime times. Instead of seeing 3 minutes of commercials every 8 minutes, UK viewers see 4 minutes every half hour.

#5 how did norway turn in to "denmark" by the end of the blurb? anyway, the program is apparently called the "sovereign wealth fund." also, the reserve per citizen is apparently somewhere over $100K, not a million. at least in the world's top currency. if the money was zimbabwean or something, i guess the number would be hard to even write down without math.

It makes us NOK millionaires, not US $ millionaires ;) Here is the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Norway
BTW, #18 is not 100% true. We pay more taxes than we need to the rest of the year to compensate for this. This is an old odd thing created so people could have more money for Christmas.

#8 Australia has some of the nastiest party politics of any country. With forced attendance and no real interest political advertising gets intense and nasty. I watch less television in an election year.
