@roo - the thing about China is the way so much of the traffic is still made up of bicycles and the way they all sort of interweave at junctions. I noticed the way they all seem to ring their bells continuously. What is that, some sort of echolocation?
If cycling causes varicose veins why doesn't every pro cyclist have them? This is the sort of misrepresentation of causal links we see all the time in the popular media.
Those lyrics that almost sound English, don't sound like it to me. They just sound like somebody singing in a foreign language, but with a curious mid-atlantic accent. And you hear quite a lot of that in Europe already. Some European pop musicians seem to think their music gains something by being sung in a quazi american accent. Nobody seems to be able to explain why.
@Miss Celina, the thing about modern cars is that they don't break like user serviceable cars did. A lot of people find this hard to believe, but it's true. Breakdowns in modern cars are so much more rare than they were a quarter of a century ago. And in real terms dealer servicing is cheaper than it was back then. Not only that, but servicing is a lot less frequent to boot. And those features mentioned in this article are mostly computer implemented which break even less often than the old fashioned mechanical bits, like valves and stuff.
The thing that shocked me about this article is that they still build the Toyota Camry. Really? Who knew?
Never forget that Haynes classic though: Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly procedure. So when you hit the console and something breaks, do you have to unhit it to fix it?
I wouldn't say most of those lines were funny, unintentional or otherwise. They are just badly written lines that should have been left on the cutting room floor.
A script writer once told me that you can often spot a bad line by the fact that, try as they might, the actor can't deliver it well. You can spot that in many of those clips.
"Even if you aren’t familiar with Sherwood Schwartz’ alliterative name, you most assuredly know his body of work"
Hardly. Although I've heard the names of the Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island, I have never seen either and know nothing about them. Perhaps US popular culture isn't nearly as pervasive as you think?
Yeah, right. Because we all though Snow White was historically accurate didn't we? We didn't? Oh.
Nah. Surely the most suspect form of transport is anything with heavilly tinted windows, but especially if it happens to be a black MPV.

Oh, and it's not a motor, it's an engine.
