Stupid Foreign TV Shows

An Alternative to TV Entertainment

Have you just arrived to a foreign land, to be totally frustrated because you cannot sit back and enjoy basic TV? Is it because you cannot understand the language, or because the content is plain right boring?

Foreign TV shows are not the same as back home. As a kid, I remember watching about crazy TV shows around the globe. Bizarre TV shows of torture, weird contests and embarrassing moments is now part of my living room entertainment.

But, I've had enough. This totally non-stimulating TV has left me searching for entertainment elsewhere. And it looks like things are only going to get better. Welcome to the world of free video downloads!

My favorite sites are:You can literally spend hours and hours on these sites being entertained. So ditch that foreign TV show, hop onto the net and enjoy yourself.

Re: Stupid Foreign TV Shows

Maybe it's just because my girlfriend has castrated me, but I've actually grown quite close to the South Korean soap operas translated into Chinese...........






Yeah, I'm a loser.
