FUNNY?

Wifey and I were seeing the desi version of "I am a celeb... " meets "Survivor" in "Iss Jungle se...". In the first few episodes, it was seen that the so-called celebs were penalized for not speaking in Hindi on the show. Have seen similar attempts on "Bigg Boss" as well.

Fair enough, they want to reach a wider audience (read non-English speaking) and improve the TRP by forcing the cast to speak in Hindi.

But then, a few days after the "penalize" episode, the cast continued talking in English without giving a damn abt the fines. So, the producer of the show added subtitles to aid the intended wider audience. Again, very fair. TRP at any cost.

But the hilarious part is, these subtitles were in English!!! Whats the point in adding subtitles in English when the audience can not even understand english. I am yet to meet someone who can read a language but can not understand it.

On similar lines, here is one such funny blog -- http://jaiarjun.blogspot.com/2009/09/two-out-of-three-aint-bad.html
