'Well this is why. In order to appeal more to the Australian palate those absolute idiots in charge have decreed that thew local Guinness will be lighter in body and less bitter in taste.'

Of course, silly me. For a moment there I thought people bought Guinness because it had Guinnesslike qualities...
I'm reminded of American companies that release anime...they think that the soundtrack on the original Japanese productions sounds really good, so they release it themselves...with a different 'singer', and lyrics in another language.


Or they'll cut the series in question down to stock footage level and throw it all back together to form a completely different story arc, as was the case with the Gatchaman re-hash commonly known as Battle of the Planets... :\

At least some of the US dubcomps have gotten their act together since then... ;)
