Those were both a hoot! I'm grinning so big now.

"Honey Boo Boo" mystifies me, too.

[dawtheminstrel]

Honey Boo Boo should mystify any sane person!

These made me laugh.

ROTFL! Are you laughing at us laughing at you?!

[dawtheminstrel]

Yes! I thought the accent thing was fascinating actually because Pitt (who they said was the best) was so incomprehensible to American audiences that they subtitled him.

[dot_o_choillmor]

Subtitled! That's hilarious. Irish accents are always horrendous on screen. But then, I can only do a very generic American accent...

We do see a lot of American, er, trash tv. We have TLC, E! and MTV for all that reality stuff. But we also see the good stuff on other channels.
