According to the Telegraph:
While not exactly a film buff, Gordon Brown was touched when Barack Obama gave him a set of 25 classic American movies – including Psycho, starring Anthony Perkins on his recent visit to Washington.
Alas, when the PM settled down to begin watching them the other night, he found there was a problem.
The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words “wrong region” came up on his screen.
Who, WHO, I ASK YOU, could have possibly forseen this technical issue?
Oh, wait, *I* foresaw this. As did, almost certainly, a million other bloggers.
Then there’s this:
A Downing Street spokesman said he was “confident” that any gift Obama gave Brown would have been “well thought through,”
Yeah, how’s that confidence workin’ out for ya there, fella? “Thinking things through” really doesn’t seem to be 0bama’s strong suit. Just ask the army of people that 0bama has chosen to surround himself with who were, in pretty short order, found to be tax cheats and criminals and whackjobs of all stripes. Putting any faith in 0bama’s ability to do anything but screw up is unwarranted.

Perfect. LOL!
Heh! I was thinking that might happen too.
Now if only it launched a region-encoding purge…
Can’t pick up a subtle major-league insult when you see one, huh?
Show the damned Orangemen right where they get off, Blackbird!
>Can’t pick up a subtle major-league insult when you see one, huh?
It’s always possible that 0bama intentionally set out to insult the leader of one of America’s best allies. Let’s just say that given the choice between that, or him being a dumbass, I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.
I don’t think Gordon Brown is an Orangeman – you’d never hear the end of it in Northern Ireland if he was…
I’m certain it could fit in the budget, so why didn’t 0bama just give a DVD player along with the movies to make sure?!
Ya Gotta love America!!
Then it’d have the wrong power plug. ROFL!
