I is going to America
A few days ago, I saw an ad for the billionnaire & bimbo (pardon my language but it’s the best description I can come up with) reality show Erik og Anni goes to Hollywood show no less than seven times in just a couple hours. And with every new ad, I became more and more intrigued and irritated. Intrigued because I keep thinking there’s a good reason for this blatant grammatical disregard that hurts my ears. Irritated because, well, it hurts my ears.
Watching the show confirmed that Erik and Anni are, in fact, two people.
So why do they GOES and not GO to Hollywood together? I’ve written to Kanal 4 to find out and will keep you posted…

One can only hope that the title of the programme also serves as a warning. ‘Please note, contains bad grammar and stupid people.’
Could you also ask Kanal 4 why they have two different titles on their website for what is apparently the same programme? It’s listed as both ‘Erik og Anni goes to Hollywood’ and ‘Anni og Erik goes to Hollywood’.

Mind you, the site is in Danish and I could easily have missed something. Maybe these are two different programmes.

Thank you, Anastasya, that’s exactly what I think every time I see the ad… I can’t understand how is it possible that nobody at Kanal 4 has noticed this mistake!
Maybe it’s because Erik and Anni are so much in love, or something, that they have become one person/one soul, who now goes to Hollywood

Would you believe it - I never got a reply from Kanal 4!
I guess being forced to be one being was too much pressure for these tanorexic (addicted to tanning) two - from what I hear, their union is over. Time for a sequel: Erik og Anni hates each other.

or better yet: Erik and Anni is hating each other
