I decided to try to see why it would require that, first I of course had
to try with FF & UA switcher, but as that didn't work out I tried with
IE - just to find out that:
"We're sorry, but MTV Overdrive is available in the US only."
Somehow I got a feeling, that if I flew over and tried again, I'd get
messages like:
"We're sorry, but MTV Overdrive is not available for vegetarians - go
eat some meat"
"We're sorry, but MTV Overdrive is not available bicycle riding hippies
- go get yourself a proper SUV!"
Yes, I know, I know - just couldn't resist :-)
