I just don't get itPoor Semiret, he's foreign and has no idea if he "should laugh about the whole 'only playing music when they are out of ice cream' thing or not." There's also a Far Side cartoon that has had him stumped for almost 20 years.
What don't you understand? What have you politely gone along with whilst internally going WTF?

The Day After TomorrowMy friends loved 'The Day After Tomorrow': WTF?
At the big UN confab in the beginning, an Arab diplomat stood up and said "I don't understand how Global Warming can lead to an Ice Age." That's an excellent question, with a complicated answer: how would Hollywood approach it? What they did was cut the smart, swarthy Arab out of the film and had Dennis Quaid spout explanatory nonsense instead.
Then those stupid LA tornadoes: merging whirlwinds will whirl around each other, but Hollywood special-effect whirlwinds crash into each other like bears on ice. Like they couldn't pay a weatherman $50 to explain it to them.
The people seated behind me were talking, so I turned my back to the screen and tormented those bastards instead, rather than pay the cartoon wolves and flash-frozen helicopters any more mind.
