WHY MUST THE STATES COPY EVERY SINGLE SHOW THAT EVERYONE ELSE PRODUCES?

YOU BUNCH OF UNORIGINAL FUCKS

because they can

we also ripped off imperialism

And you don't do it very well. Less than an 100 year hegemony. I spose you could blame the acceleration of development. But i prefer to think that the british empire was superior.

question : as (descendants of) British persons, would you place Napoleon next to Hitler or Mussolini ?

I've never thought of him (Napoleon) as anything more than a military genius. Why would anyone place him next to Hitler or Mussolini?

Gadhafi recently put Napoleon, Hitler and Mussolini on the same level. I heard the same thing a couple times in Bristish cultural productions.

Edit; in France he's a hero, along with De Gaulle, and Louis XIV.

not at all. wasn't he fighting for the liberation of europe. Or maybe that's the french half of me talking.

Huh... well, I'm across the pond. Most people here probably don't even know who Napoleon was.

But personally I've always liked Napoleon, for no reason I can pinpoint specifically.

+ De Gaulle = overrated, just a tool for the allies. Could have been anyone in those radio messages. He wasn't actually in the fight, a tactician, a leader.

hero worship is stupid, you grow out of musical hero worship. Why fap over (most) other historical figures.

i don't understand the point of american remakes. of anything. do we need to make them american so we can relate to it better? do people just hate reading subtitles? fuck us

really, how hard is it to enjoy the original/foreign version of something?

$$$. you guys are crazy if you really think that most americans will consistently tune into a show with subtitles as much as they would one without. making a stupid american version of any random good show would definitely be a more profitable route

why would you require subtitles for a show that is broadcast in the english language?

LOL

edit: televison sucks, get over it

who cares? no one's forcing you to watch it.

The UK Inbetweeners movie is in cinemas this August. You may see me dancing like a prick in the 'party boat' scenes.

i don't think he was talking about this show specifically

i dunno. we have trouble understanding certain accents?

shit, i want subtitles for american tv whenever some cajun or deep southern accented guy comes on....id imagine its just as difficult for a welshman to understand a scotsman and so on.

It's payback for you forcing this twat upon us (you have to agree some form of retribution is warranted here).

On a less-shitty note I'm glad to see they're making an in-betweeners movie, I quite liked show whilst Mrs. Dob and I were living in Ireland...

xxx, those are, like, the two most common things in the universe after hydrogen.

This universe blows.

Don't bitch like it's some one-way street. I have seen adverts and UK programming and it's a fucking carbon copy of the shit we have. You import our shit as much as you export. The only thing more tiring than a loudmouth American is some European cunt who thinks their shit doesn't stink.

This. Well put, xxx.

Yeah, fair point to xxx, The Inbetweeners is a British version of American Pie. But in Britain it's much more profitable to produce a TV series, rather than a film.

Ask Murdoch.. he owns most of the media in the Americas and in the U.K.

Fucking Rupert; worst reptilian ever.
