It's Not Easy Being Green

The guy who made fun of you because you didn't know what grits were? Was a huge asshat. Forget him. Like others here have said - I can bet you that LOTS of Americans don't even know what grits are! Personally, I've never had 'em. It's a "southern" thing. So, take the stupidity from whence it came - from a horse's ass.

I can only say to you that it sucks to be isolated from the things that you love. I cannot imagine what people down under have to go through to get the things they love, honestly. I don't know why things are designed that way, other than for certain people to make the most money off of others. Really, I bet that's what it boils down to, with regulating when and where things are seen.

We go through the same thing in America with a LOT of Brit fandom content. We can't see anything the BBC puts out through its iPlayer or number of other means. We have BBC America, but it's sort of a wishy-washy version. And it's on digital cable, which I am downright LUCKY to have, because it costs extra. But everyone here downloads, because BBC America sanitizes everything to make it fit American broadcast standards. Oh, and don't forget the commercials. Every show has commercials. >__< I'd frigging PAY a license fee, if I had the opporunity, just to get rid of commercials. But we don't have a say about that issue in this country.

I'm just saying that I empathize with you saying that it's NOT fair. You're right, and it's understandable feeling that way. A lot of people go through this. :\
