People in America seem to think that Ireland is all drinkin' and feckin' and fightin' and "Top o' the mornin' to ya" and "Faith an' begorrah, they're tryin' to steal me Lucky Charms!" But it's not like that at all. (Except for the drinkin' and feckin' and fightin', which is all totally, totally true.)*
One of the things I discovered on my last trip to Ireland was an interview show featuring puppets Podge and Rodge. It's not available in the U.S., but like almost everything else at the moment, bits of it are available on YouTube.
Here's a little sketch where Podge and Rodge discover the online world. "Show me the filth!"
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
*It is. Really.

While not exactly from Ireland, check out some youtube clips from "QI" and "Never Mind the Buzzcocks". Trust me on this.
