Yes I know, not an original topic. But I figured it would be a nice prequel to "20 Hypothetical Questions Episode Whateverthehellwe'reonrightnow" (sorry, fatty :))
I thought it would be useful to have a topic in which you could shout unrestrainedly about whatever bee is in your bonnet at this very moment.
That would be English dubbing. See sig for more info. There is nothing worse than having the most serious scene in the most serious episode of a serious TV series botched because one of the main characters is speaking with a bad translations.

I hate the big-wigs of the WB for canceling Angel and renewing such shit shows as 7th Heaven and Rheba(sp?). Both of the shows have DREADFUL acting, writing and direction. And, oddly enough, are LESS believable that Angel. I would also like to publicly damn my brother for getting me hooked on that damned show in the first place. ;)
I hate people who can't use apostrophes properly. I was in a bookstore at uni today and saw, to my dismay, that there was actually a shelf labelled NZ Author's.

APOSTROPHES ARE NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE, GET IT RIGHT.

And today it was my math teacher, who has known me for nine months. For crying out loud...
