I think the inverse commercial would be more funny. Some foreign business traveler lands at JFK and has to fight his way through all the stereotype ugly americans until he finally gets to his benz.
PC, I think only applies in North america. Europeans somehow have a greater sense of logic and rationale and are more nonchalante about the things the enounter in the media.

ex:

Americans have higher safety standards in their vehicles because WHEN you get into an accident, it protects you.

Europeans simply are "don't get into an accident"

I prefer simplicity and prevention over redundancy.
