Comparing Germany and US

I have been googling all things German and I have found some interesting things, such as a youtube video of Snoop Dogg when he visited Amsterdam--very funny. Also some clipps from the German MTV of the Snoop Dogg's late 90's show called Doggiedizzle Telefizzle. My boyfriend, Craig had a bunch of German rock music, I've been listening to it in the car to work on pronunciation. He also has some rap, however, it sounds funny in German. Here are the links for anyone who wants them.

I found these two guys on youtube, they are very funny.
One guy is German and his friend is American and they post short videos on Germans Vs Americans. In the following link is to a video on German vs American drinks, apparently Germans mix alot of weird drinks together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxp2veCViTw&feature=related

This next one is them comparing voting in the US & Germany. It's interesting, germans can vote at 16 yrs old in local elections. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bhnwuweaek&feature=related

This next video is about German Vs American Patriotism and Military, apparently Germans view these subjects alot different than Americans. The German guy talks a little about the 'Required Military service also which I've always been curious about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APLrPJhf4JM

This video doesn't really compare the US and Germany but does give some interesting tidbits about the Eurail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8mSInPKQ3I&feature=related
This one is really good/ It is about business hours in Germany. There are alot more videos by these guys on youtube if your interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUs9t8hlRu8&feature=related

The next clip is really interesting about seating and cinemas. Apparently Germans will sit with random strangers if there is not tables available, and there is assigned seating at the movies.
