aren't we all forgetting that the main reason to watch the american reason was to check out drew carey?


you mean, you didn't find him as attractive as i did?

Don't all Westerners end regular sentences with question marks anyway? A fine example would be Willow? Out of Buffy? She always ended a sentence? With a question mark? With her voice going up at the end? It's really annoying? Perhaps a little stereotypical? But still? Annoying?

That was like? So totally like? Spot on? With the broken sentencing? And the use of like? Question marks for all punctuation? You just need to throw in the overzealous use of? The words 'like'? And 'so'? And then you like? So totally blend right in?

Haha.

Not to ruin your thoughts Sketch, but isn't it weird that my sister came home from six months in the uk and was turning all her sentences into questions?

don't you find that as interesting as i do?

Pop culture? Brit kids are getting it from American teen TV that airs here, and most of it does. Even our adult programming is turning ridiculously Westernised. 'Sex and the City'. 'Ally Mcbeal'. 'Judging Amy'. 'The Third Watch'. 'ER'. Desperate 'Housewives'. 'House'. 'CSI'. 'Charmed'. 'Lost'. All in prime-time slots.

Apart from sport, and the odd documentary, most of our TV is foreign these days.

I once observed my mate speaking in obscure and unneccessary questions. He became all too aware of something that he seemingly had not noticed before.

I laughed. He was mortified and completely oblivious to it prior to my mentioning.

Next thing you know, we'll be calling the pavement, the 'sidewalk', and it's not even as if we want to.

The fact that your sister wasn't doing so before she came here, backs up the thought that the accents on TV are stereotyped to be 'American', just as you guys seem to think that all English people are posh through similar pop culture means.

Strangely, and somewhat disturbingly, the 'bad guy' in Western TV is usually English too. Why? I have absolutely no idea. I guess we're just an inherently evil nation.

You're the bad guys because those accents make you sound so prim and proper, with an underlying tone of complete utter EVIL.

What's with the smilies, Sketch?

Bar the Queen, nobody uses the accent that American TV likes to pimp.

I got bored of the bland, text based smilies, so I thought I'd inject some visual interest; and since I use dual monitors, it's pretty quick and easy to do.

American TV never stereotypes.

What is this... dual monitor... concept?

Running two computer monitors at the same time off of one system. Enabling me to view and work with twice the desktop and multiple windows and applications simultaneously, side by side.

You're like a mad professor.

I think it's interesting that American TV gets played in many foreign markets, and becomes quite popular, while foreign TV hardly ever get any play in the states. Sure, PBS has a crapload of various British TV, A&E has MI-5 (aka Spooks), and then there's BBC America (or so I've heard), but that's pretty much it. Hell, I find it odd that we get pretty much zero Canadian TV, except for Degrassi (but that's on The N, so I don't have that either).

I assume it mostly has to do with accents. It's hard to understand someone with a thick accent when they speak fast.

Either that, or we got the best TV.

Isn't this thread supposed to be questions? And don't you think foreign accents are hott?
