As a kid, I learned English from English language cartoons on FilmNet. I learned from German TV shows. My passion for Swedish crime series taught me Swedish.
But now, the largest tv medium of our time, YouTube, has begun auto-translating everything. Future generations will not be exposed to foreign languages and be inspired to take an interest.
There was no public review of this, no democratic vote. One company just decided to turn foreign cultures off and make the world dumber.
For profit.
@ramsey I understood his premise. I disagree with the sentiment, though. I've heard the same said about Blazing Saddles and wonder if they have seen Tropic Thunder, Team America: World Police, any episode of South Park, etc.
In a world where The Book of Mormon is a Broadway hit, why would one not be able to make a comedy movie today where a specific religion is the subject?
