I'm consistently surprised the things that people seem
uninterested in. But then I guess we all have our separate
interests that we're passionate about.
This might make you
smile just a little. I recently bought a DVD for my
grand-daughter to watch - the title was "The Star." It was
an animated version of the birth of baby Jesus. Which I hadn't
realised. I thought it was going to be about astronomy. Anyway,
it was a very entertaining DVD - and she enjoyed it very much.
However she wanted to know who baby Jesus was. The best I could
('cause she's quite young) was explain that he was a "Superhero"
who one day would "Save the world," just like the Marvel
Superheroes of "The Justice League," that she was familiar with - like - "Wonder
Woman," "Spiderman", and so on. It then made sense to her.
I suppose the point is - people take more of an interest if
things are put in familiar terms - that they can understand.
I hope this makes sense. Also, don't forget that your link had
to be translated to be read - perhaps some people may not
have realised that they could do that.
Just a thought.
