This livestream is the best caricature of American culture I've seen, thank you.

It is the unveiling of a bomber, with the national anthem sung by an employee of the company who built it, as in a proper performance, while more bombers fly ahead so loudly he has to stop. Then it proceeds to have the CEO read an engineered speech from a teleprompter, completely devoid of her own existence. Followed by a hollywood action movie style reveal, with the attendees going wild, clapping and shouting for the new, shiny bomber. It is a gift that keeps on giving.

Yeah, clearly only Americans do this. Ignore the fact that monarchs have been christening ships for thousands of years.
