Bridget Bardot. Becomes a millionaire selling her body; then the second her boobs hit the floor, suddenly decides that men are sexist and incapable of respecting women and it's what's inside that counts. Strange coincidence.

WHY???????

1. Snobbery. It looks classier than Arabic numerals.
2. Deception. Certain people might balk at watching very old films or re-reruns, so using Roman numerals makes it harder for Joe Average to know how old the film/show is.
3. Preservation. The end of old film tape could deteriorate, making an 8 look like a 3 or a 6, so Roman numerals provide greater certainty,
4. Carved in Stone. That's just the way it has always been done.
