I am not HOLLOW!

I happened across this article in Yahoo! News today.
Some Europeans Aren't Fans of Halloween I could agree with the complaints of commercialism but Rev. Giordano Frosini has to take it easy. He said, "Pumpkins show [America's] emptiness." Dang, that was harsh. I could relate to his opinion that Halloween was "an expression of American cultural supremacy" but the pumpkin comment was (for lack of a better word) cutting.

To be honest, I never thought that the rest of the world did Halloween and I can understand why they don't want to allow it to seep into their customs. I am sure that many cultures (in addition to Europe) feel this way about our overall dominance whether it's economical, ecological or culturally.
