    Have you ever wondered about this ?

    You see an advert on the telly, it's an American ad, with a UK voice dubbed over,
    but the mouth and the words are so badly synched, it weird. You can watch a Mogolian film dubbed in English and get better synchronization.


    why is this ????

    How many Mongolian films have you watched ?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      EO likes his specialist films to be very specialist.

        The usual utter contempt the Merkins have for the cultures of the rest of the world.

        It is that arrogance that makes them hated the world over.
        My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

          Because advertisers know if they try and sell us something in a whiny American accent they won't get far, but they are too cheap to make the whole advert again.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            What I meant was, how can two Enlish speaking peoples need such dubbing ??

            do we really form the words so differently with our mouths ?

            just seems a bit odd to me

              I am sure that I read somewhere that Australian made TV commercials are dubbed for screening in New Zealand because New Zealanders find the Australian accent whiney and annoying.

                I'm sure that most of the adverts like that are from the Euro Zone.

                  The Kinder Eggs ads certainly are from Germany.

                    You can tell the Euro adverts - all the kids are white
