When your job is to write posters or on-screen text or subtitle stuff, you'd think BEING ABLE TO FUCKING WRITE would be necessary to land said job. Thins kind of thing annoys the hell out of me, especially when the guy who subtitles The Simpsons doesn't get half of the jokes. Also, he doesn't understand any of the blackboard gags in the opening. Examples: 'Indian burns are not our cultural heritage' becomes 'Camp fires are not our cultural heritage', 'I won't use no double negatives' becomes 'I will not use double contradictions', and 'wedgie' suddenly seems to mean 'platform shoe'. He NEVER gets it right. I swear to god, I want to buy that channel just to fire him.
