Bambi is watching some show on teevee called SuperNanny. I can hear it from here. It’s about how this British nanny comes and saves the day for some troubled American family. Why is it that there are so many Brits on reality shows judging Americans?

Another thing that gets me. How come so many hours on NPR are used to broadcast the BBC world servisssse?

Almost without fail when an English accent is declaring something on teevee or radio (even when they’re asking, they don’t sound like they’re asking to me), the position the American viewer is supposed to assume is that of subservient half-wit, happily willing to accept the wisdom of the far more sophisticated Brit. SuperNannies. Like Louise Woodward.
