Click the Photos CBS didn't do their research. On a fall 2002 CBS program, CSI, Crime Scene Investigator, a character clearly and repeatedly made reference to the "pifflings" in Iceland and the children in the village who rescue them. Pifflings? My guess is that the writer saw a British TV nature program (they had been up there doing a program after seeing Nights of the Pufflings) and heard the birds, the pufflings, referred to by the British narrator with a British accent which would sound like pifflings. Shame shame CBS and CSI for not doing your research. |
CBS Errs They're not pifflings; they're pufflings. |
