United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads
SumDog writes "The UK is known for many things, great food, a wonderful climate and beautiful women. However, according to a story on the Guardian, a new study puts the UK ahead in one more category: it leads the world in TV piracy, accounting for 38.4% of the world's TV downloads, with Australia coming in second at 15.6% and the US in third at a pitiful 7.3%"
The post states that UK is known for great food, a wonderful climate and beautiful women all of which we know to be blatantly false so how can we possibly belive the download stats :-)
And *what* are they downloading, the Brits and the Aussies? Sh*t American TV, mostly. It's sad, really sad.
A mate of mine is a doctor, and he spends half of his spar time downloading sh*t American TV (24 hours, ugh! 24hrs of pain!), then burning off VCDs or DVDs and handing them out. Although, I must admit, I wouldn't have seen Penn & Teller's BULLSHIT otherwise!
If only we could produce hotties like Madeleine Albright, Condaleeza Rice, and Barbara Bush.
Yeah, then perhaps you'd get to torture innocents as well! Oh wait, you did that already
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
great food, a wonderful climate and beautiful women.
If there is great food in the UK it must have come over on the Chunnel train from France. The UK has the worst food in the western hemisphere. Fish paste sandwiches YUCK.
The wonderful climate must be if you are allergic to sunlight. The rain and constant dreary grey skies make for a truly depressing lifestyle.
The women are beautiful to the residents of the UK because most have never been to Denmark.
Same as you but my wife is Mexican and my car is French. She's a bit tempramental sometimes, but she doesn't have the mental problems present in British and American women (self obsession, materialism, status anxiety etc etc)
In this world nothing is certain but death, taxes and flawed car analogies.
