The Hot Spot

Two nights ago, Usman took us to this restaurant called the Hot Spot. Before we drove to this place, Usman bragged that it has the world's greatest brownie along with a super duper sundae that would blow your mind. So we went 20 minutes from Usman's house to this restaurant, which had a sign of a skeleton as the mascot for the establishment. Furthermore, inside this place had an enormous amount of posters that represented American entertainment, anything from the Spider-man movies to the Matrix. These posters were the central theme of decoration for this restaurant and the food was full of smoothies and desserts that would make anyone drool.
While on the topic of food, there is a little interesting story about the world's greatest brownie. Usman tells us that we either have to try the sundae or the world's greatest brownie, of course since brownies are almost always delicious, I decided to give it a try. Before receiving the dessert covered in caramel ice cream and chocolate syrup, I secretly tell myself that this cannot by the world's greatest brownie, everyone says that about every delicious brownie that they try. Fortunately for me, I was wrong. The brownie turned out to live up to its name, and the next time someone mentions a delicious brownie, I will mention that the world's greatest brownie is in Pakistan.
Back to the subject of the Hot Spot....this restaurant has a deeper concept behind it. This restaurant aims to make American entertainment as the base for catching costumers attention, but why? I feel that American culture has made it's way to Pakistan, even with increasing anger against American policy since the 1960's due to the support of dictatorships in Pakistan. Everything from McDonald's to American Idol has been introduced to this nation and the people love these representations of American culture. This shows that there is a difference in Anti-American sediment, it is more focused against policy than our nation or the people. Thus, policymakers should keep this fact in mind, when they decide to create bill that is relevant towards Pakistan and the military should be aware that killing civilians will only harm the cause, not help it.
