You partisan dumbheads are really pathetic with your inbred stupidity and George Bush mentality to seek to make a fuss out of fluff while your country is floundering from its 8 year Repugs misgovernment.

Huh, A “Weekly Reader” Troll?

You poopie-head, Marxist not-wantin, stoopits you….

The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words “wrong region” came up on his screen

So?

It’s not like they could find a Third World piece of junk that wouldn’t have that problem.

Mark Steyn suggests the perfect revenge for Gordon Brown. When Obama speaks to the G20, on his teleprompter, nothing but the words "wrong region".

Hey kokobin,

Think back a little more than 2.2 centuries or so: we won!

Go spew your socialist agenda somewhere else. Most of us here want nothing to do with it.

It’s so reassuring to know that the AZZHATS won,, as they’re so fond of reminding us every day with their daily barrage of blunders, gaffes, fumbles, and stumbles.

This is more entertaining than a freak show…oh wait!

Gordon Brown would have no problem watching his freebies. He can buy more than one DVD player with a different region setting….
kokobin on March 20, 2009 at 7:48 AM

Multi-region DVD players cost around $100, which I’d assume the Prime Minister can afford….
starfleet_dude on March 20, 2009 at 1:12 PM

So if the Prime Minister of Great Britain wanted to clear the “wrong region” announcement off his screen, he needs to go purchase another player, one that specifically plays American formatted DVDs…

Brown, on the other hand, presented a rather more thoughtful gift to the American President in the form of a penholder carved from the timbers of an anti-slavery ship. The sister ship, in fact, of the one that was broken up and turned into the desk in the Oval Office.

Whether merely vacuous or openly disrespectful, Obama’s gift is foreboding. He appears to be truly out of his league in matters of foreign diplomacy.

In the War of 1812 the Americans burned the government buildings of Canada FIRST. The British were getting revenge when they burned the White House. I just wonder how they will exact some type of revenge for this DVD foul-up that probably insults them even more. How about a frying chicken dinner with collard greens and watermelon as dessert.

A White House spokesman sniggered when I put the story to him and he was still looking into the matter when my deadline came last night.

Well, glad we’re all professional here. Is the White House turning into the Frat House?

“Yeah, after some retard called about his DVDs not working. Hey, can I bum a cigarette? “
