Father Ted and more on North Cregg and FMAD

Donie sent me a link to Father Ted. It’s a funny comedy based in Ireland . I think he is such an indearing character, somewhat naive but with a lot of heart. There these interesting people around him who try their best to pester him. Don’t we all have that same issue with our priests?( I say that coming from a Catholic place, therefore I can relate). There is also this particular video in youtube that I could not watch.

This is what it says:

This video contains content from Channel 4, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.

And this is how our conversation went:

Me

eeeek it’s been blocked in my country :his video contains content from Channel 4, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.’

what

omg

that is so f***** up

03:10Me

i think they do that from time to time.

there are also videos i could not watch from other regions in the world

but the first one i saw

03:13Donie

that’s really annoying all the links are channell 4

mad. they are afraid of upsetting people from your country

03:17Me

i will address that in my blog

03:17Donie

do

03:17Me

i guess they are just being careful…

03:18Donie

your all adults over there

im still surprised

03:18Me

that’s the sad thing about political correctness. it’s always that ‘ you cant do this or do that in fear of upsetting people’.

03:19Donie

here too but we have come a long way

03:19Me

i think american regulations decide what videos to be shown in what countries and since youtube is american owned then they do that

03:19Donie

but an english company made that

our RTE, was too afrid to make it

03:20Me

ic

03:21Donie

but an irish production with english money

chanell 4

is the best always push the boundaries

03:22Me

i guess it’s a long way to go

but i will try a proxy

aw proxy does not help

03:23Donie

you should write about that, religion is on the way out

people should understand about the Roman history and the biggest story ever told

03:25Me

indeed.

Here is something from North Cregg. I mentioned them a couple of months ago and I think their music is interesting and really beautiful. Check this interview with Christy Leahy out:

Another one is by Four Men and a Dog. Once again I owe this article to Donie Ryan who got me started. Anyway I love the rockin rollin feel of the music.  “Hold On I’m Comin’ has a catchy tune over lively tempo.
