Does anyone find anything wrong in the following news story.

UK pop singer Natasha Bedingfield reportedly will contribute likeness, voice to From Russia With Love.

Sean Connery has always been known to pull in the ladies. Whether he's playing James Bond or just being Sir Sean Connery, the Welsh actor has been said to out-sexy men even half his age. According to an article on Billboard.com, Connery, who makes his gaming debut in From Russia With Love, may have worked his magic again.

As widely reported online and confirmed by industry sources, Natasha Bedingfield, a chart-topping songstress in the UK, will be included in the cast of Electronic Arts' From Russia With Love. It's unclear what role Bedingfield would play in the game. The artist has worked with EA before--she provided the ending credits song for GoldenEye: Rogue Agent. Attempts to reach EA for confirmation were unanswered as of press time.

Bedingfield's debut album, Unwritten, goes on sale in the US today. For more information on the singer, check out MP3.com's coverage.

From Russia With Love is being released in November on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube.

I'm sure our Scottish members have something to say about that!

how can they mistake connery for being welsh lol, hes get the coolest scottish accent ever...

 

[Sulkdodds]

That's disgusting. It's a disgrace. A DISGRACE.

 

[StardogChampion]

I'm guessing the guy that wrote that must be well over 20. How can you spend that much time on this planet and not know that Sean Connery is Scottish. What a monkey.

He was born in the same city as me.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Wales is not scotland.

A DISGRACE

 

[Cormeh]

I am black affronted! ;(

 

[Sui]

Wales is not scotland.

A DISGRACE

No, but they are rather similiar...

The following image is a graphical depiction of the average American's geographical knowledge:

Please keep this in mind when we make mistakes about the difference between Wales and Scotland... or France and Italy... or Spain and Portugal... or Iraq and Iran... or Morocco and Monaco... or Germany and Russia... or Switzerland and Norway... or China and Japan... or... well... you get the idea.

 

[Sulkdodds]

I like the way Alaska is slightly blurred as well.

 

[CptStern]

holy **** that was hilarious OCybrManO

kanada needs to be blurred out as well

 

[OCybrManO]

Nah, we know where Canada (sometimes spelled "Canadia") and Mexico are... but all we know about the people is that Canadians speak French (and we don't like that) in addition to English, have cheap legal drugs, and play hockey... and Mexicans speak Spanish (and we don't like that) primarily, have cheap illegal drugs, and apparently cross the border illegally all the time to come steal our jobs... well, at least the ones that aren't being taken by those funny-talking people off in that big blur to the right.

 

[CptStern]

hehhe ..I've always wanted to visit that blurred country to the right


oh and the majority of canucks dont speak french, eh!

We have cheap illegal drugs too :naughty:
And yeah, I can't speak a word of french
That's like us in Canada saying you all speak Spanish in addition to English

 

[OCybrManO]

Well, those are all things I've heard from real Americans. Whatever your country's stereotype is... that's how they see every person in the country. Every middle eastern man wears a turban, rides a camel, and wants to kill us. All French people are artsy, elitist bastards... and can't fight... so, we always have to save them. All British people are polite/proper and have bad teeth. All Scottish men wear kilts. All Irish people are drunk 24/7 and, other than beer, their diet consists of potatoes and... well, just potatoes. All Asian people are good at math/science... but they can't drive. Oh... I almost forgot one:

All Germans love David Hasselhoff!

 

[CptStern]

dear god!!! my eyes my eyes!!!! they burn!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[DEATH eVADER]

What is wrong with the following sentence

"Border relations between Mexico and Canada have never been better." George W. Bush

 

[IonizeMyAtoms]

All Germans love David Hasselhoff!

That one is true

 

[poseyjmac]

What is wrong with the following sentence

"Border relations between Mexico and Canada have never been better." George W. Bush

nothing, oh wise one. mexico and canada are both border on the united states and our relations with them can be called border relations.

-

well obviously, since the guy from gamespot said connery was welsh, all americans must be poo-poo heads. great logic there, guys, as usual. :stare:

 

[<RJMC>]

didnt know sean conery was from scotland,infact didnt know he was european cuz in the tv is allways mentioned that the star are from hollywood and stuff

and why germans love david haselhof?

 

[Warbie]

Did you not see that picture?!

 

[OCybrManO]

The word "between" means that you are talking about the border (in this case, a nonexistent one) that the two countries have in the middle of each other... not the borders that they each have in common with an unmentioned third-party. The sentence, as stated, doesn't imply that the USA is involved. To change the sentence to proper grammar for what it was supposed to mean, you would use "with" to replace "between" (border relations with Mexico and Canada have never been better). If you insist on using the word "between" you would have to reorganize the sentence so that you are comparing the USA and Mexico then the USA and Canada (the order doesn't really matter)... something like "The US-Mexico and US-Canada border relations have never been better," but it's more awkward.

i never said his grammar was perfect. the point you're missing is that he was just looking too hard for something funny that bush says, and there are about 5 million dumber things bush has said than this.
