Back to Pretending to be Canadian...


"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."

Seriously, guys, SERIOUSLY?!

Ugh. Heard about this on "The Bugle." How embarrassing. Couldn't he dig up something slightly more important or interesting? Isn't there a person whose job this is?
