Title: The Office cleans up at the Golden Globes
Post by: TheBigCheese on January 27, 2004, 09:30:42 am
UK sitcom The Office caused an upset at the Golden Globes, when it received two top awards. Do we still believe that Americans just don't get irony?

Are our cousins finally getting irony?????

apparantly the U.S. is making a Yank version of The Office with all the 'irony' ironed out,
should be about 5 min episodes then (and totally crap).

You'd be suprised to learn that the Telletubbies is made for 5 year olds over here, not for adult viewing like in the U.S.
