Tobus, that does raise an interesting point. This is likely the first time many American teens have seen a kilt in the media.

Last weekend, I discovered that most "drama kids" aged 14-17 at a public high school in the midwest haven't seen the film Braveheart, and really don't have much of a frame of reference for a kilt. Not just the regular kids, but the theatre kids haven't seen the film. (I know, Braveheart is not accurate in many ways, but if you were to think of a positive and well known kilted character - I would argue it would be up there on the list.) It would be a shame if they attached some sort of stigma with the kilt, but I don't think that's likely. Or I hope it's not. For one, I think that the typical audience of the show is probably not the same ones who would make derogatory comments and secondly, I'm not entirely sure the episode won't be forgotten by next Tuesday.
