The question was sarcastically put, and therefore seen as rhetorical.

But the point was merely to point out, that when posting links to content that others cannot see (and I said nothing about Japan, by the way), is akin to posting websites in other languages or that result in 404 errors. It just gets tiring after a while...

For the same reason why many forums request (and some even require) that all posts be written in English: so that there is a universal standard and so that all members can enjoy it.

If people want to persist in putting up links to Hulu, they are free to do so -- I'm not asking anyone to abide by anything, as long as I'm free to continue pointing out that many of us aren't able to see what they've posted.
