Mickey Mouse, Tweety, summoned to Court

Were you the Chink mentioned in the article?

I know it's immature, but I think it's weird for them to call Tweety Bird "Titty"....Doesn't someone say something?

This might come as a shock but not all children in Italy speak english or know what titty means in english.

A name change would just lead to all children asking "why did they change the name?"
 
No, didn't someone say something at that board meeting? I can see it now...

"So, what do you want to call Tweety?"
"Uh...Tits?"
"Oh, I like that, what about Sugar Tits?"
"Isn't that something offensive in English?"
"Sugar? I dunno..."

Seriously, there must be someone who works/ed in the Warner Brother's Italian branch who spoke some English, right? There wasn't one guy?
 
I'd wager the Italian word is inoffensive and was used outside the programme before. Not everybody considers international audiences when deciding upon a localised name.
 
I get that, but over here we don't have characters named "Sheisse Vogel".

Anyway, I thought you Euros were supposed to be multilingual and all that?
 
Funny, they actually changed the name of the Smurfs into something different because it sounded too close to "stronzo", which means 'turd'.

We are, the best proof of it is that most people on these boards are english-speaking Euros, with the Brits making the worst spelling and grammatical mistakes. It's just the Italians.

They're multi-anal.
 
In terms of flaming metrosexual faggotry or in terms of disastrous mastery of foreign language?
 
"It certainly pleased us that the characters were considered real, because that's what we try to do."

I want the drugs they are all on... :crazy:

iirc the french call it Titi.

"Titi et Grosminet" for Tweety & Sylvester.
 
I think the German names are "Tweety" and "Sylvester".

Surprising, eh?
