Come on now, don't be ridiculous.

Everyone knows pet landsharks are illegal in most of the lower 48. It's obviously a wild landshark in a tiger outfit on a roomba.

I was tripping at a festival in Asheville a few years ago and went to the bathroom which had those trough-style urinals. I eventually made my way to where you pee, but looked to my right and lost my fucking mind. There was a tiny little asian dude dressed as a shark, looking at me through the teeth but the reflection in his glasses made it look like he had rows and rows and rows of real teeth (just like real ones) and I couldn't handle it so I ran out of the bathroom dribbling pee all over my pants.

I forgot it was halloween.

American here. I bought the Planet Earth blu-ray from Amazon, advertised as the British version. I got it and it was the Oprah version (I refuse to call it the American version because 99% of Americans hate the Oprah dub).

Anyways, I contacted Amazon and told them about the mistake, and they replied saying something to the order of, "Wow, I can't believe we'd do something so...terrible. Keep the Oprah version and we'll send you the Attenborough version. Consider it an apology for subjecting you to that travesty." They ended up sending me the proper version and I gave the Oprah version to my brother, who immediately said, "Dude...the Oprah version? Really?"

It's not as if he has some weird regional accent or anything.

If we had to pick a voice to represent the English language it would be David Attenborough (with Morgan Freeman as a close second, of course).

7

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '14

attenborough is definitely up there, but i think the top "best english language voice" spot is a three-way tie.

i mean, if you made a tape of morgan freeman, jeremy irons, and alan rickman reading the phone book, it would be the number one best-selling therapeutic sleep aid ever.
