The Office cleans up at the Golden Globes
« 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?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3433375.stm

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.
