I love... this video.

I like the way the video featured all the presenters from the different documentaries on Discovery Channel. And of course, Mike Rowe (from my favorite DiscCh docu 'Dirty Jobs') singing "I love real dirty things". I could only make out what the other lot were singing thanks to the subtitles, without which, I wouldn't have known Stephen Hawking is guest-featured in the vid. Fantastic feel good reel. I might just tune in to Discovery Channel more than Nat Geog... provided if I can tear my eyes off HBO and StarWorld. heh heh heh.


On another quite unrelated topic, wouldn't it be nice if the whole world is subtitled so that deaf persons like me could understand what everyone else is saying?

Sure would be a lot easier to decipher and make sense out of phrases through all that accent during conversations and hook up with the cute angmohs, instead of nodding my head silly. Afterall, I'm suppose to be an aspiring SPG (according to many friends).

And would definitely - without having to rewind the video countless times - help me understand dialogues in pirated dvds, catch puns on 'Whose Line Is It Anyway'.

Of course, be spared of the frustration of having to pause an episode of 'Friends' then explain to my 'slightly-more-retarded-than-me' sister the joke that Chandler just made.

Just imagine. There'll be subtitles flashing at the bottom of your vision, suddenly your life seems like an MTV video running overtime (esp while you're lost in your own world listening to that music player). Right. Think that's too much KTV for me.

It's wishful thinking but... Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

I love... subtitles.
