Could have had a V8

Current mood: understimulated

You accidentally find the Spanish channel and, probably initially because of the brightly-colored clothing (or the lack there of), you stop flipping the remote. Ten minutes pass and, even though you can't understand even one word being said, you find yourself still watching.

Why is this?

For nearly 17 minutes tonight I found myself watching Disney's The Love Bug Herbie Fully Loaded on Telemundo. The voice-overs didn't fit the actors' mouth movements, I could not understand a single word of the commercial break I sat through, and yet I watched… jaw ajar, remote still poised in my right hand, absently petting dog with my left hand.

When I finally turned the channel, it was only because I had a moment of realization. I felt like I was the recipient of those forehead slaps in the V8 commercials. "Could have had a V8." or "Could be watching this is English."

Anybody else get stuck on the Spanish channel besides me?
