Why?
19 February 2009
It isn't often that I give up watching a DVD before the (sometimes bitter) end but this one I did!

You may ask why and my answer is really very simple. As can be seen throughout the documentary where various people are identified, the producers DO know how to create captions so WHY didn't they provide subtitles to all the Arabic, French and goodness-knows-what-else answers to questions that Morgan Spurlock asked in English?

I imagine like most viewers, I am NOT fluent in every language of the world and so, when, for example, Morgan asks something like "What do you hope for in the future for your children?" and the long response in (I presume) Arabic brings peals of laughter, I am left totally bewildered wondering (and, of course, WANTING TO KNOW) what was said.

I imagine that, had I known, I may have found this a most interesting and enlightening documentary but, as it is, what a waste of time!
