Wild Wild West

The writers for the BBC are such morons. Look at this:

The town of Poipet, where the borders of Cambodia and Thailand meet, has a sense of the Wild West about it.

Newly constructed high-rise casinos are crammed into the few hundred metres of no man's land which separates the two countries.

Stand at the border gates for half an hour, and you will see second-hand jeans, produce and mechanical parts stacked high on wooden carts with wooden wheels, clattering chaotically towards another country.

Since when are high-rise casinos, second-hand jeans, produce, and mechanical parts at all related to the Wild West? I'd be willing to bet twenty dollars that Kylie Morris, the article's writer, has never been to the areas of the States that used to be the Wild West, and has no clue about the context and history of the Wild West.

What a joke.
