This produces in my a sensation akin to facepalming, except it makes me want to smack myself in the face with the sidewalk.

Hopefully he does not, because he's a dick.

Thanks, Shep, for making us all look like assholes. There's a reason why there is the "Ugly American" Trope out there, and he contributes to it.

Well, he's clearly correct. I mean, one simply has to look at TV to understand that there's no one who understands television like Americans, certainly not Canadians.

On a completely unrelated note, I need some suggestions: I've got a whack of programs recorded on the PVR I want to catch up on and am looking for suggestions: should I start with Castle, Vegas, True Blood, the new Hawaii Five-0, Sons of Anarchy, or go to the disk collection to watch Battlestar Galactica all over again? You know, so I can see all the purely American expertise at television?

None of the above. Weeds or Dexter.

I'm thinking point was missed?

Somewhat. Alcohol assisted, unfortunately.

bear in mind that the presenter is getting all huffy and impatient because his producers didn't take into account the dual translation thing and just cut to the press conference when it began rather than when there was actually something FOX could report on (because FOX can't afford translators or something).

FOX: The Waahmbulance of News.

Translators? This is Fox. In their worldview everything should be in American Standard, not those weird foreign languages.
