Not to outdo their Facebook counterparts , Haaretz’s English Twitter seem to be dumbing down for the masses.

A tweet linking to an article about the often lost-in-translation Hebrew blockbuster titles, said that Israel changed “The Full Monty” into “Six Naked Pigs”.

Comedies often take a beating in Hebrew, with the Will Ferrell film “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” called “Dodgeball: Grab Life by the Balls,”

Will Ferrell wasn’t in that movie.
