"But its British!"

[B&NGoddess]

some lady returned her "planet earth" box set because its narrated by david attenborough.

sigh.

she wanted it "in American, not in British!"

Will the Mormon company that edits the R and PG rated DVDs Americanize them too?

Proof I watch Stargate SG-1 WAY too much...

First thought was the episode where Daniel Jackson goes about the sub their in as it starts to fail:

"But it's swiss."

I have the Planet Earth series, and I prefer Attenborough (who is a famed British naturalist) to Sigourney Weaver any day. Not only is it beautiful to watch (the bird with the mask plumage is awesome!!), but somone who is knowledgeable with the animal world is more likely to provide deeper insight. Too bad for the woman. She doesn't know what she's missing out on.

Then next time perhaps she won't buy something by the
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)

Wow. I had no idea that "American" and "British" were two totally different languages. Gosh, I guess I'm bilingual!

Seriously, what a dumbass. I guess she's intimidated by someone who very likely speaks better than she does.

And she'd probably think David McCallum is actually Russian. . .

I'd hate to be the one to say it but this is sometimes why people don't like americans, they come off looking like they think the sun shines out their ass. Don't get me wrong I have met and travelled with many great americans but there have been too many times when I have been in contact with them and had many WTF moments. This is a classic example.

If it's not Scottish it's CRAP!

Seriously though, that lady was wacked. I love British narration, they can make even the dullest events seem like the greatest thing in the world.

i dont think she was implying that she was better than the british, but that she was pretty fucking stupid. too dumb to understand british english. accent=foreign=bad.

although i dont disagree with your comment at all.

I bought a box set of the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy series one time when I went to Canada. It took me a bit longer to get through it because the grammar was more like proper British English, but I was so fascinated by it. Next time I go to Canada I think I'm going to buy the Harry Potter series.
