I saw someone post this picture in r.s.s. Apparently, the guy was upset that he wasn't let in a pool in Czechoslovakia where he was visiting (he's from the U.S.) Have you seen these kind of signs elsewhere? Not that I'm against them, I'm perfectly fine wearing the "approved" attire.

I think you are taking this a little too seriously, after all, we are talking about swim trunks here, not cultural norms.
But, how come is it that if an American disagrees with another culture, that is America being self-centered and ugly. But, if any other culture decides what Americans do is wrong, that's considered fashionable and trendy? For example, if we don't like Euro man thongs, we are culturally biased. But, if you don't like our Anglo Surfer Dude trunks, that's you sticking it to the man.
