Zeal or boredom?

The Japanese do surprise me sometimes. They are crap at English - on the whole - but their zeal to learn the language knows no bounds. Went to the video rental shop today and saw seven copies of Bowling for Columbine - five with Japanese subtitles and two dubbed. The five subtitled copies were all out while the two dubbed ones were sitting lonely and ignored on the shelf. Of course it could also be that the movie-renting public is just bored with the same voices dubbing all the movies from Eddie Murphy to Laurence Olivier!
