Once again, I think that it's because of the Infamous Ignorance of my countrymen. After all, everyone "knows" that all Americans are Ignorant, right? All anyone over here knows anything about is what's on TV and which mall stores have the cheapest prices -- since, after all, the cheap stuff is "just as good as" the good stuff, and why would anyone pay more?
Damn, I'm getting cynical, but I'm feeling really lousy today -- that's my excuse.
We all know that not all Americans are dumb as dirt, and we all know that not all Americans are totally ignorant.
But I can see how the titles get changed... "After all, what it is that she's carrying around? It's kinda like -- what are those things boy scouts carry in the woods?"
Sorry, Nikki. We are spoiling your titles, aren't we? Let's make a pact to jump off a bridge together on the day that someone retitles "Pride and Prejudice" as "Elizabeth & Darcy: Together At Last"
