Are you arguing with me? I am going to walk across the office and punch you in the ear.

It was filmed at 1.78:1 PAL/SECAM and whoever transfered it for NTSC broadcast was a moron and rather than having it letter box out at an NTSC 16:9 native resolution it black barred around the image without scaling it.

The Nat Geo bug is just overlayed.
