www.inkthinkerblog.com — I’ve been on a bit of a Discovery Channel kick lately, which is how I found myself watching The Lost Tomb of Jesus the other week. It went back and forth between ehhh and God-awful (no pun intended, of course), and the terrible voice over script did little to improve it.
Case in point:
Discoverers: How sure are you, random blind woman who lives here, that the tomb is under this cement slab?
Random blind woman (in Hebrew): I’m one million percent certain.
Narrator: “One million percent certainty — that was all we needed.”
Discoverers: Jackhammers, ho!
Now granted, I don’t write a lot of voice over scripts, but seriously! I swear, direct quote. Can’t the Discovery Channel do better?

Inane has two n’s, not three.
Ahh, I love a good dose of humility in the morning.
