I had this wrong. In my defense, there had been excessively little coverage of this plan on American TV or media.

Astonishingly, this was the UN, through Turkey as an intermediary, negotiating between Russia and Ukraine to allow safe passage of Ukrainian grain ships out of Ukrainian ports for sale on the world market, and more astonishingly, it’s been successful. Russia has agreed to allow and guarantee safe passage to, and Ukraine guarantees safe passage through minefields for cargo ships going in and out of these ports held by Ukraine.

i understand and agree that he is unamerican in the sense of the "american ideal" but outside looking in, he is a completely typical product of american culture. he's reality TV, fame for fame's sake, wealthy without working, a hustler, the ideal jerry springer guest, the ideal wrestling guest, the son of racist nepotism, performative altruism (and then defrauds his own charities), he pathologically cannot accept being wrong/defers all fault to anyone else ("whatever, i do what i want"), he's weaponized ignorance, he's "hilariously" rapey, he's illiterate, a proud philistine, he's vapid pageantry, he's a christian who know nothing of religion/spirituality, he's 4chan, he's 8chan, he's tacky style with complete lack of substance, he's the personification of "fake it 'till you make it". these are all lessons i've seen repeated ad nauseam from american TV, films, music, podcasts, youtube stars, etc. to the point where they're past cliché that they're now entrenched americana.

i know that isn't the typical american but that is the most typical american america has sold to itself and the rest of the world.

*promote after being reminded of these Americans' TV ads and seeing http://videosift.com/video/Fibre-It-8482-s-how-we-internet-now.

And here I was thinking that this was something that American TV originating with an ex-political leader from Cleveland specialized in... (Jerry Springer Show)....

This is a yt video *blocked for you.
"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

Whats always weird is that when I use my vpn through a Vancouver IP, A particular group of yt channels are blocked(often American tv shows), but if I use a Montreal or Toronto IP they work fine. Wonder what that is all about?

The second part is not quite accurate as some people more than others are able to more easily adapt and pick up the new sounds of other languages. I know a German who can do flawless American and British English accents (attested to by other Americans and Brits). And some people are able to accurately replicate accents they are consistently exposed to (most millennials in Australia can do perfect American accents due to the exposure of American TV here that they have grown up with).

In the civilised world, "doing taxes" is one of those weird things you are aware of because of American TV.

In my entire working life, my interaction with tax amounts to looking at my payslip whenever my salary changes and ... that's it.

My tax comes off my pay automatically, I pay a flat Goods and Services Tax of 15% on everything I buy, and there are various other duties, levies, etc., all of which are pre-calculated and included in the listed price.

There are a few "tax refund" companies around that will try and recoup a tax gain, but most of the time it amounts to so little money it's not worth it.

All the kids were watching to the left of where the action was happening, enough so to throw me off completely from the illusion, though some do follow it to the center as it goes on. If this isn't added in post, I'd guess this is using something akin to the Dubai video above, and like the video projections on buildings. They map the space, then when the audience is there, project the image live to a monitor, which is what the kids were watching to the left.

Basically it is an improved version of the goal line and projection seen on American Football games. That technology has come a long way with far more information being displayed on the field of play.

This would be a natural progression the technology and I'm surprised we don't see ads and the like on the field while watching a game. While American Football is filled to the brim with ad space, one of the problems American TV has with the "beautiful game", soccer here and a few places, football to most of the world, is the lack of ad time. I wouldn't be surprised to see mini ads playing around the action. Joe the Cameraman just keeps the action to the left half of the screen, and the right half has an ad on the field... perhaps starting off subtle, could be tied to the video monitors on the sideline of the fields that are already showing ads. Just amp that up... not a future one really wants to see, but I'd guess it is coming as more people ad skip.

It feels good to learn about science from an american TV show. Not all is lost, there's still hope in the shadow of President Trump.

well done BBC. (I wish American TV networks still cared about NASA)

Actually, 10 worst actors ever.
American TV...

Ha ha ha! Fuckin' nut job. 4:18 is a classic.

This video shows the difference between american and english political TV. Piers Morgan is a fuckin' tool, we were glad to get rid of him in the UK, but he's doing things the english way, which is a debate. A proper debate where each person gets to say their point and then lets the other person answer the point. American TV has always pissed me off because of the lack of debate. It's all down to who shouts loudest and it's a crock of shit.

I found this one a little off the mark. The best way to write an American tv show is, of course, to write a British tv show and wait for American networks to rip it off for their own version.

never liked the sketch show but loved peep show


This wasn't their best sketch. Like any sketch show there's ups and downs (which they did a sketch about) but there was so much gold in there
