some troll messing with alternative titles.
In short: Someone put an absurdly long alternative title to an otherwise short title that caused some issues for me. The detailed version: "During the process of importing the 'title.akas.tsv' database into MySQL, I encountered an issue with a specific title causing the error 'Error Code: 1406. Data too long for column 'title' at row 3810893.' Curious about the title's length, I inspected the corresponding entry using PowerShell and found a title exceeding 600 characters, containing inappropriate content. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the IMDb https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10169854/ title 'Hunta-557' had alternative titles with excessive word count, leading to the import error. Interestingly, the front cover for the IMDb page appeared perfectly normal, displaying the expected title. However, a simple search query with specific phrases revealed a link (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10169854/releaseinfo/) containing alternative titles with the problematic titles. Reasons why it should be removed: It's inappropriate and has nothing to do with the actual title. Whoever edited it should be banned and IMDB should probably look into any titles over 200 words, as no actual title is that long.

Hi @andrisve - Upon reviewing the title you reported, while the length and descriptive text is uncommon, these alternate title listings are eligible and may very well be legitimate alternate titles for "Hunta-557". If however, you are certain that these listings are incorrect, I encourage you to request a deletion through our online Update form and our editors will review the request. In the meantime, concerning the broken 'title.akas.tsv' file import, I have raised this issue with the appropriate team for visibility.
