This will get some Americans good and red-faced heading into the weekend. The billboard shown here is one of several currently running in England. It’s a teaser from a U.K. TV network called Five, which is launching a digital channel that will focus on American programming. In the second phase of the campaign, the ads will be changed to read, “Who says nothing good ever came out of America? The new channel from Five showcasing the best of the U.S.”
