Ups, sorry about my misunderstanding.

Just curious. Is this "americans prefer MM than DD" is/was a fact in United
States? I always thought that most of the americans also preferred DD than
MM. That MM garners more popularity in multimedia (TV, radio, clubs, etc.)
was due to his position as main mascot of Disney. That's why i so often
thought of "americans prefer MM than DD" is more of a stereotype. But of
course, i can be wrong and it;s only my guess. After all, i dont live in
America and never been there.

Keep On Quacking,
