As someone from outside the US I still perceive it as much ado about 
nothing. Radio Shack has zero presence in Europe that I am aware of, so 
why would they spend marketing dollars on people outside their target 
market?

Basically, if tomorrow a local sponsor shows up at our doorstep and 
sponsor a strictly local challenge, would people elsewhere complain too?
