Agree. Used to happen more during the meltdowns after a loss.
 
Tangled mouse cords that move like snakes no matter how many times you straighten them out.
 
The way those lefty political correctness PC brigade gone mad feel-good bleeding heart latte-sipping charrdonnay socialist newsreaders on SBS and the ABC say Medicans san Frontiers. This is an English speaking country, it is Doctors Without Borders. Why stop at Medicin San Frontiers? Why not refer to every foreign organisation in local language and accent? Why single out this one frog mob? Do you reckon, if there was a bushfire in the Riverina that some French newsreader would say 'Wagga Wagga Rural Fire Service' in English and a thick Aussie accent? No. Ridiculous.

The organisation is called Medicans san Frontiers and is based in Switzerland. Why wouldn't you call it by it's correct name? I'm sure Doctors without Borders is just used for dumb-ass Americans who refuse to watch foreign movies with subtitles.

I bought some chorizo the other day. Am I a lefty political correctness PC brigade gone mad feel-good bleeding heart latte-sipping charrdonnay socialist because I pronounce it correctly as Cho-ri-tho rather than cho-ree-zo?

Imagine calling a company by their real name...

Do we really need to dumb down everything foreign for our everyday right wing outrage culture, Fox News watching, Andrew Bolt reading, A Current Affair watching dolt?

Why do i get the feeling snake went fishing with his post? :D

I was but it does annoy me. Why just that one organisation? It's Doctors without borders. That is the English translation. I don't speak French. I don't expect French newsreaders to say aussie organisations in English. Yet every time it comes up the Aussie newsreaders make like pepe le peiew, Stupid.
