Alessandro Amarossi   Italy Local time: 20:43 Member (2009) Russian to Italian + ...	Nov 28, 2011 Hi there! My name is Alessandro, I live, work and study in Italy at the master's degree course in Conference Interpreting of the University of Bologna. At the moment I have to prepare my master's degree thesis, and this crazy idea came to my mind: to conduct a a research on humour, cinema and ethnicity in four different countries! The topic is one of the most difficult ever, so I need your help! For this reason I created a blog, ( http://carnelevarium.blogspot.com ) and a page on facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Carnelevarium-Culturarum/264050860285550 ) on which you can find a questionnaire about the topic of my research. In both pages you find a 'square', in blue and beige... an embedded version of the questionnaire.... it's pretty straightforward if you read the instructions (I did my super best to make everything easily accessible and understandable) 1) answer the questions in sec.A (personal info) 2) watch video 1, answer question 1 of section B, video 2, question 2 and so on.. I would really appreciate if you could have a look at either one of the questionnaires and complete one of them! On each page (both Facebook's and Blogspot's) you will find all necessary instructions. Just read them carefully and... enjoy your time! It is FUN, and it will not take more than 35 minutes. I count on YOU! Thanks a lot in advance, Alessandro   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

No video Nov 28, 2011 Alessandro, I tried to fill in the questionnaire on the blog, but there was no video. None at all. This was with Firefox 8, javascript turned on.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Alessandro Amarossi   Italy Local time: 20:43 Member (2009) Russian to Italian + ... TOPIC STARTER	No Flash installed? Nov 28, 2011 All the videos are taken from Youtube or Megavideo...

Alessandro Amarossi   Italy Local time: 20:43 Member (2009) Russian to Italian + ... TOPIC STARTER	Pretty unusual... Nov 28, 2011 My technical knowledge on the matter has then some limits... the only suggestion I can come up with is to try to open the blog with another browser, Chrome (works like wonder), Safari or IE.

Heinrich Pesch   Finland Local time: 21:43 Member (2003) Finnish to German + ...	Rather long survey Nov 29, 2011 You should warn participants that it takes at least half an hour to complete. About 10 years ago in Britain they did a large international survey on jokes. Germans turned out to have the best sense of humour, because they understand also foreign jokes. Canadians did not even understand British jokes. Good luck with your undertaking!   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Problem Nov 30, 2011 Hi Alessandro, I was in the middle of doing it and when I clicked to watch film 4 my screen went to another window and a gambling window opened next to the survey window. The same thing happened at film 7. Just wonder if that's happened to anyone else.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.
