The difference between England, Canada, and the United States might just be found in searching their respective Amazon online shops. I just performed the same search on the .co.uk, .ca, and .com versions of Amazon and I found the results telling.

My search was prompted by the new special edition DVD of the hilarious British TV show Spaced. It's a terrific show, and fans of Shaun of the Dead who haven't seen Spaced are missing a great pair of seasons (and a lot of jokes in Shaun).

Searching for “Spaced” on amazon.co.uk, the first result is indeed the Spaced : Definitive Collector's Edition DVD.

Searching for “Spaced” on the Canadian version, amazon.ca, the first result is a book called Spaced Out: Policy, Difference and the Challenge of Inclusive Education.

The same search on amazon.com yields a CD called Spaced Out: The Best of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner as the first result.

Who knew you could sum up whole countries in a click?
