Google Reader - Too USA obsessed.

I have been using Google's Reader application for a while now and have had no problems. It's very easy to use, it does all I need it to do and everything is ok in general. One thing bothers me though, and that is the recommendations feature. As I understand it, this should present selections that it think may be of interest based upon things that you select as 'Like' and possibly your browsing activity. Maybe other criteria too, I don't know.

Despite this, almost everything that is presented to me in 'Recommendations' is American based. American news, American sports, American TV, American bloody Idol, yada, yada, yada.

Now I don't have anything against Americans, but there IS a world outside the good ol' US of A.
