[color=#006FFF]It probably comes from the blonde stereotype--that is to say, the thoght of the vast majority of Americans being blonde--and this was probably first brought into the mind of the majority during the times when the "buxom blonde" was the ideal pin-up; women like Marilyn Monroe probably only furthered this stereotype.

[color=#006FFF]She wasn't, but I don't think you have to have "pornstar proportions" to get the idea from her. She was very sexual and larger breasts fit in with that category, and so I'm sure, much like all stereotypes, it took that factor and exaggerated it to the point of it being ridiculous.
Or maybe it's more recent than I think and people get it from the fact that there's a ton of porn that comes out of the country as a whole and tons of women with balloon boobs in said industry.

I just think of it as if "America is the Texas of the world" in the sense of the saying "Everything is bigger in Texas". More than likely not a very apt generalization, of course, but when it comes to the America = Big boobs stereotype, that's what I take it as.
