Too bad there's no way to know if a clip is only viewable in your region, before you post it...
Basically it's a silly comedy skit that makes fun of young people who're obsessed with Japanese anime, manga etc. and are convinced they so know so much about Japanese culture when they really know next to nothing.
I suspect anything that is taken from a media site (I believe this was a link to an NBC snippet) would not be available outside of your country. It is like I could not post anything from the CBC site.
Now if it were on Youtube I would be a little more surprised.

I've never encountered anything online from the CBC, or anywhere in Canada, now that I think about it, that I couldn't watch because I wasn't in Canada. The only things that I can recall that I've ever been blocked from watching for not being in the right country were things online in Japan. But clearly a lot of things online in the US are blocked for people outside the US. I guess the rules vary widely?
You could be right LB. Maybe the media laws are much stricter in the US than they are in Canada or other parts of the world.
Although I would have said you would not have been able to watch the TV shows broadcast on Canadian stations that do not also air on American stations - not that there are many of those.
I do know I can not watch American tv shows on American channels until they have been aired on a Canadian channel, and then I can only see it ON the Canadian channel. (I hope that made sense, I feel like I have just talked in circles.)
I had begun watching a episode of House MD on an American station, and realized there was a segment that resonated with me and with what I was trying to write in one of my fics. I wanted to watch the episode again online an hour later, to capture the scene and the way the ideas were presented, and I could not access the episode. The next day the same episode aired on the Canadian channel, but I could not watch the episode because I was at a late workshop or something. When I got home that evening I was THEN able to watch the episode online through the Canadian channel and then set up a similar scene in my story.
