> I HATE SUBTITLES, lol, well, hatred is a bit a strong word, ummm, ..., annoyed is maybe better!
> Why? You really should see some of the work our translators do here! lol, its crazy! Well, you wouldnt understand it anyway, but the way they translate some expressions from english to dutch! hahaha (i cant think of something right now, but i know i laughed a few times in the past, not for the show or program itself but for the subtitles)

Reminds me of a thing I was watching last night; there were some Spanish-speaking people on (it was about a bombing in Argentina) and the translations were amusingly bad. It wasn't subtitled, though; they overlayed a voice speaking the English "equivalent" of what the Argentines were saying. It was really bad. :-}
