Geographical Racism

[B.A.D.]

Today, I have finally grown tired of this.

For me, now that I live in Australia I can tell you how fucking frustrating is this, Every International event date is always set to American time. Hey, the academy awards are on sunday... nope.. monday morning for you Big Ax-D... go and calculate the time. Hey Manchester United plays today at night... nope.. tomorrow morning for you Ax-d.. go and calculate the time

When companies, musicians, etc.. give dates announcements:

Eminem important announcement on monday (not that I really care, but thats not the point). hmm, its monday now lets see what is this announcement, maybe a tour?... hmm, where is it... oh right.... YOU FUCKING HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY!!!!!!!!...

fucking mutherfucking fucks.

even it will probably never be fixed or talked about it on a mainstream media, its fucking frustrating, and I just wanted to share with you, what people like us that live on the furthest time zone on earth have to go through. yes it is a big deal.

does it exist?
yes

That's not fucking racist lmao. It's because Eminem and anything else you watch is from America so of course it's going to be in American time.

[zedzero27]

what's the argument here exactly?

Australia doesn't have the furthest time zone, it has one of the first.

you guys are, like, in the future...

doesnt matter if its first or last, its far.

yeah I mean, I know that. its not racist per say, but I didnt knew what else to call it. It just, maybe on any type of announcement with world wide interest. (like the world cup, or the grammys n shit like that). they gave at least a couple different time schedules depending on the globe location.

[B.A.D.]

geographically inconvenient.

thats what I was looking for, well put... its not racism Hmm.. inconvenience..

although, its still fucked up. what I mean, is wouldn't it be nice to enforce a system in which important events could solve the problem. not by changing times by fixing schedules, but by providing time zones informations.

for i.e.:

The release of Dr. Dre's next video: At 3PM on Thursday New York Time. (x Paris Time, y Beijing Time, z Sydney Time)...

u know?... making this a habit

[Sekou]

I really don't think that it's such a big issue. You know where you live, so just remember the time interval between America and the U.S. and automatically add the couple of hours each time.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

well the states are 8 hours ahead of me too,i dont want the world cup to be in the USA.

yes

i totally agree I live in Melbourne aswell and its the worst thing staying up till 7 in da morning just to listen to a leaked song (not to metion staying up for die hard that didnt even get fully released) or if theres a big announcement hearing that its on saturday but in Australia its sunday it gets really fucking annoying

Some people consider it a problem that NBA games are starting way too late over here, but it always made it more special for me. Other than that it's not that big of a deal.

[Sekou]

so just remember the time interval between America and the U.S.

Haha fail. I meant Australia of course

[classthe_king]

How long does it take to add the x amount of hours though? Less time than it would take for them to put the times for every time zone...that would just look messy.

There's already a kinda solution, but no one is using it:
