Even that's not so silly, since most people can play DVDs from other countries, either on their computers or newer DVD players. If I can play a British DVD, I imagine the British PM has access to the technology to play American DVDs.
Why is this an issue?
ZOMG THE OBAMAS ARE ROOOOOD AND CRAZY! HYSTERIA! HYSTERIA!
The Obamas didn't drop the ball, the Protocol Office did.
Prior to the election, a lot of people were posting that we were a laughing stock around the world, and need to vote for President Obama. This was a social gaffe that could have been stopped, and didn't help our image.
