問題の発言は、動画配信サービス「Hulu（フールー）」の番組を紹介するコーナーであった。アイヌ女性のドキュメンタリー「Future is MINE ―アイヌ、私の声―」を紹介した後、お笑い芸人の脳みそ夫さんが「この作品とかけまして動物を見つけたととく。その心は、あ、犬」と謎かけをした。番組の放送後、SNS上などで「本当に許されないこと」などと批判の声が多く上がった。
And certainly our language now used varies far from that which was used and spoken when I was born. For we Englishmen be born under the dominancy of the moon, which is never steadfast but ever wavering, wexing one season and wanes and decreases another season.
And that common English that is spoken in one shire varies from another. In so much that in my days happened that certain merchants were in a ship in Thames for to have sailed over the sea into Zeeland, and for lack of wind they taried at headland, and went to land for to refresh them.
And one of them named Sheffelde, a mercer, came into a house and asked for meat, and specially he asked after 'eggs.' And the good wife answered that she could speak no French. And the merchant was angry, for he also could speak no French, but would have eggs, and she understood him not.
And then at last another said that he would have 'eyren.' Then the good wife said that she understood him well.
Look! What should a man in these days now write 'eggs' or 'eyren'? Certainly, it is hard to please every man by cause of diversity and change of language. For in these days every man that is in any reputation in his country will utter his communication and masters in such manners and terms that few men shall understand them. And some honest and great clerks have been with me and desired me to write the most curious terms that I could find. And thus between plain(?) rude and curious I stand abasshed. But in my judgement the common terms that is daily used is lighter to be understand than the old and ancient english.
