teddogSomething is very wrong here. I want to see if it's just me or something worse.
So, if you have a minute, do the following.
1) Go here - http://www.youtube.com/user/thishourhas22minutes
2) Attempt to watch a video.
3) Tell me what happens.
I'm getting a "This video is not available in your country" lock out. Normally, I wouldn't care, but... THIS IS A FREAKING CANADIAN SERIES. My tax dollars paid for this show. It's produced by a Canadian company, in Canada, for a Canadian audience. Why is it locked out to Canadians?
And for the record, the only reason I found this is because they have the Poncho Village skit up and I wanted goofy screencaps of it. But I find this sort of thing frustrating, because a lot of streaming video from other countries is locked out to Canadians. But this is a Canadian series. What gives?
I don't think it's across the board, either. The CBC stream works fine:
That's some big hair there, Mr. Harper

Date: 2008-11-26 06:52 am (UTC)It would be (even more) ironic though if they did this with a Made In Canada channel. but there isn't one so... well there is but it's not that. I didn't know you could edit comments. Since I don't know how, and even if I did know how I probably couldn't be bothered, if in hindsight this reply turns out to be incoherent - just read what I mean and not what I wrote.
