>>>>>>So I guess your point was that the only foreign shows on American TV and radio are British? Probably because they're in English, don't you think? There are Spanish speaking stations which cater to the growing Hispanic population, and I understand there are lots of Chinese cable channels in the Bay Area, but it seems to me most foreign programs would be unintelligible to most Americans.
>>>>>
>>>>>Specially those made in Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India (where I guess part of it is in English) and a dozen African countries.

>>>>>Are you saying that most Americans are genetically or otherwise incapable of reading subtitles? Or were just gullible enough to believe they are?

>>>>>I think not. It's just that "and we have content from UK" is presented in such a deadpan manner that you don't even come to think "why that, and why nothing else". And even if you do, it's an unidirectional medium, anyway. So "UK only" is a message. And the message, as I read it, is "for you guys down there, we are the rest of the world".

Google translates it to "This film is a doo-doo"
