it certainly doesnt go far enough, in applying a sceptical eye to its own epistemological methodology, and realising that God Exists

Watching the Phelps family talk to Louis Theroux last night was inspiring., they're like "oh Louie you come here with your humanistic questions trying to trip us up, you're a disingenuous jackweasel and you will go to hell because you don't accept the word of Christ" and i'm like damn louie they've got your fucking number

The other thing that strikes me is that it seems like in America everyone is an actor playing the lead role in their own life. Put a camera in their face even if they're being arrested or something traumatic is happening to them and they'll give you their life story and cry on cue like they're going for a daytime emmy

it's extraordinary

is that the one where she keeps taking off her shirt because she's like "you can't film me if i'm naked" and then he keeps filming her anyway because she doesn't realize how cameras work?

yeah and she's constantly trying to get him to have sex with her and the final doc gives the impression (probably on purpose because its compelling) that he's maybe a little oddly attracted to her

all of jersey shore is subtitled, so are the ones with the big grisly men who does loggin or antique huntin or car fixin

yeah but those accents are pretty regionally specific and aren't the type you hear on that there teevee all the time. louis' documentaries will subtitle californians

although, again, that's understandable given the fact that the show's for brits, not americans

a californian accent is pretty much the american teevee accent though, just with the addition of stupid slang everyone hates??

everyone in britain understands californians because you can't turn on a tv in this country without seeing a bunch of sun-bronzed teenagers grinning on a beach with hills and palm trees in the background and acoustic rock playing , or possibly a cop drama in which the black cop calls people 'fools' a lot and the white cop has a shady history he'd rather keep secret and the two of them argue as they patrol south central, or a bunch of people with dreadlocks smoking weed and pretending to be beat poets in front of the golden gate bridge, and all these things make me depressed because that used to be my life and now chavs keep on nicking my mobile

well to be fair, now that i think about it, the average "californian" is probably speaking spanish so the need for subtitles makes sense
