The 2009 International Subtitling Award Goes to…

Yes, obviously it’s Supreme Master TV again. Of course it is. But this time, not only are there 20 simultaneous translations at once, but a mass of ridiculously complicated satellite frequency information splayed across the screen at great speed.

If anyone can find out how their subtitling department works, I’d love to know…

    Baffling. Truly baffling.

    What is constructive news exactly? Obviously it's the opposite of unconstructive news, but I'm still none the wiser.

    Brilliant comment from Supreme Master TV website…

    “ I watch your TV program almost day and night because I love it so much. Everything is so very heart-rending. Often my tears roll down because of the overwhelming beauty and love, especially concerning the animals. You say “Thank you for watching” and I say “Thank you for broadcasting . “

    It's actually the other way round. People often make that mistake.

    What the hell?! Makes as much sense as a golden cow up a stick selling timeshare skips to men from the centre of the earth.

    I'm pretty sure this video proves the theory of multiple parallel universes. How could this happen? And why would you need to know all the satellite info anyway? Surely if you're watching it you already know this.

    God forbid they start broadcasting in 1080p HD and include 100 more languages because of the screen space.

    I lwatched some video from Supreme Master TV with Swedish subtitles (I'm Swedish), and they were very poor (but spelled correctly). They were probably made by some person with bad knowledge of Swedish or made by a computer.

    And after all that… why do you need to know how to watch a channel you're already watching?

  • JoJoJocebel

    Ok…why does the man look like an android?
    why do I find the satellite information oddly hypnotic?
    why is the background music remarkably similar to the average “we've just saved the President and the whole of America from impending disaster..” film music?
    why aren't they available on cable OR satellite in Liechtenstein or Tajiikistan?
    I wonder if the presenters get paid in money or some kind of Supreme Master vegan currency such as nuts or raisins.

    I was in a restaurant in San Francisco, that not only had Supreme Master TV playing, but also had a wall of photos and newspaper clippings praising her supreme master-ness.
    It was a bit disturbing.
