WTF Euros need a license to have a TV

[Duke]

lmao @ this turning into a america vs. europe thread...


In Holland you don't need a license to watch tv (unless im missing something) but you have to pay a fee for tv and radio, yeah. It's used to fund the public channels.

 

[Sebastian]

OMG, you didnt know that? Pff, as always, you dont know whats happening over here....

 

[Cown]

I thought Euros were currency

 

[Preach]

^^
lmao

seriously, i'd rather pay this fee and not get commercials.

that said, i hardly ever watch the channels you need a license for. mostly news and shit. we got cable though and you gotta pay for that so. lol.

It helps pay for public broadcasting, which eventually dish out some actual quality. Unlike fucking PBS that make a 'begging-a-ton' to make viewers dish out some cash to keep their 'cooking with Julia Childs' show on the air. I can't believe that some of you didn't know about that...

 

[Illuminattile]

actually its more like 22-24 minutes for a half hour show and 44-48 minutes for an hour long show of actual programing.

stfu up and go pay your retarded fee to have a t.v.

Maybe it seemed like more 'cause all the ads were shit. They were all either trying to sell you some kind of brand new medication, or trying to get you to sue someone because the brand new medication they sold you last week has fatal side effects.

 

[not really ken]

Americans display their ignorance once again.

lol i cant disagree with you there.

ive known about the fee for the tv for sometime. its odd to us because we just arent used to it. it's not really a surprise that most americans dont know about it. im sure there are plenty of things people from europe dont know about fees and taxes in america

LMAO @ TV LICENSES. WHAT THE FUCK.

That is piss poor. I am with mack on this one, how are we supposed to know you guys have TV licenses. That is just pathetic. The point of a license is to show that you have the required skill to do whatever with what the said license is. For example: fishing, driving, boating, all the medical fields, etc. So apparently in Europe you need a license to prove you know how to use a television set. Now I know what the intelligence quotient is in Euroville.

On a side note, it is completely hillarious that it says color and black/white TV's. Welcome to 1960.

Don't you American's have to have pet licenses?

 

[PuffnScruff]

Don't you American's have to have pet licenses?

pet licenses? wtf? never heard of that one. maybe it depends on the type of pet. if you were going to have something exotic like a monkey then yeah i think you do. but i dont have one on my dog and my parents dont have any for their cats

 

[Get In The Van I Have Candy]

Wow how pathetic. Here I thought you guys were our equal.

It's not that, it just sounds so stupid that I wouldn't even think of a thing like that, but if it works over there...

if they were any good their sponsors would fund it instead of mandatory taxation. lol would i have to pay tax on tv monitors for my car?

The point is that the BBC (in this case) isn't dependent on any big corporate sponsors telling them what and what not to do.
