But Thor is his name? You can't change a persons name and decide on a new one just because they're from another country! Ask Cassius Clay!

Changing a name to make it more easily pronouncible in a localisation, but sometimes they make silly and unnecessary changes. Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, anyone? And then there's France, who often leave the titles of movies in English but change the name anyway to make it easier for french people, or something.     My favourite is the French title for Cool Runnings, which they called "Rasta Rocket" in France.

Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, anyone? Because they speak two languages in Belgium they usually print DVDs with both the original and French title for release in Belgium and the Netherlands. This is my favorite example:  The most noteworthy acute accent to have ever existed. These alternate titles happen in Germany as well. There is somebody in Cinema Discusso who asked for some tips because he needed an alternate title for Den of Thieves. It had to be English... but simpler. They ended up settling for "Criminal Squad".

'll' is also its own letter and has a similar sound but much further back on the tongue (but not as far as 'ch' which is the phlegm in the back of the throat sound).

No, the Americans just make everything sex-related but are afraid to admit it. e: Tangentially related, reminded me of the time they tried to sell a movie that did really well in Finland to the foreign market but it didn't go too good because people thought it was gay porn. Not really  but just in case.

France is a bit more open about sex than America but it's not like there aren't any restrictions. For example you can't show an erect penis on network television until after 6 pm, you can only imply anal fisting in a movie unless you want to be slapped with a PG-13, and masturbating furiously in a public square requires a special license.

My dad told me that during/before WWII most communities took down their road signs and village name plaques to make it harder on invading forces..and they they just never got around to putting them back up. He traveled around Europe A LOT in the late 50's early 60's and would wind up in the most rural gently caress off places because they didn't notice the tree covered road-way 5 miles back. The locals would just shrug, because it's not their fault you don't know where your are/where you're going. Edit: I'm not saying it's still like that, just saying that when you've lived in one spot for countless generations, you kind of roll your eyes when someone claims not to know how to get to the next town over w/out huge blinking signs.
