I love watching what a talented video editor can produce with quality content, and this is a great example of that…

I saw this commercial for the first time tonight, and my friends and I were laughing hysterically - we watched it twice and laughed harder each time. I just watched it again now, laughing until I had tears in my eyes, and Ashley just looked at me strangely and only laughed at how hard I was laughing. I guess this speaks to my sense of humour.

Heh heh. From STRAIGHTFROMMYBRAIN.

Whenever I need a laugh, I turn to Miss Teen South Carolina and her stirring response about “US Americans” and map reading. This clip never fails to give me a chuckle!

Some of the comedic responses, like Miss Teen South Carolina calling 911, are almost as funny.

This made me laugh so hard…probably because I’ve always been interested in martial arts and have been known to throw high kicks nearly as bad as these. I think it’s a spoof inspired by the clip at the 58 second mark (which make me laugh the hardest) because the background changes. On the other end of the spectrum, you have these incredible jumping guys and of course the jaw-dropping talents of Tony Jaa (warning, the clip is violent).

You have to be a Star Trek geek to some degree to understand how funny this is…

Thankfully, no content-pirate that I know has given me this excuse, but it can’t be that far off given our current cultural climate…

I don’t think much of most politicians; integrity seems to be a foreign word to most of them. I happened to click on a link in the signature of a Pocket PC Thoughts community member who posted in my thread about WiFi (boy that’s generated some interesting commentary across my network!) and I ended up at the Web site of one of his projects: a Web site for Ken Gordon. I’d just finished the article about my New York trip, so I was rewarding myself with 5 minutes of mindless Web surfing (something I don’t do often). What caught my attention on the Ken Gordon sight was this image:

Could it be? A politician with the stones to get into a tank with sharks? Yup! There’s the official 30 second TV spot showing him in the tank, but the really funny one is the no stuntman used video - I can’t believe how close some of those massive sharks got to him and he never flinched. I don’t care how satiated or “tame” those sharks might be, there’s still a certain level of danger and it’s not something you’d likely find me doing. He further demonstrates his sense of humour in another video spot, and some added bravery by jumping tandem out of a plane.

I don’t live in Colorado, and I definitely lean more toward the right politically, but if I could I’d vote for this guy - if he has the guts to jump out of a plane, be in a tank with sharks, and turn down $100,000 in contributions from special interest groups, he’s got more courage (on multiple levels) than 99% of the politicians out there. I hope he wins his election!

You’ve just gotta love this. These guys have tighter vocals than most bands out there now! The amusing factor here is that this blog post will be automatically slurped into my Facebook profile. Hah!
