So have some others, no reason to get angry.
Though I think it's the content that upsets you.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Gee, ya think it's the content and the smug ******** who act like a comedy sketch means all Americans are dumb rednecks?

Maybe it's that and not that it's been posted before.

I knew it, you can't hide it very well dear Rabbit. But let me assure you that I and most europeans know you're not that way in the US, at least not all.

We had some shows here asking Germans where Germany is on a map of Europe and some pointed to France, Spain.....

Okay, now outside of a culinary context I am not particularly an ichthyophile of some sort, but this is just plain wrong. Even fish should have some sort of a fighting chance.

Octopus video

In a comment on that video:

Oh yes, the mimic octopus. Most creatures that mimic and do so as an "act of will" ( Rather than being born looking a lot like something else ), can impersonate one other organism. The mimic octopus is capable of changing shape and colour to become any of 10 other species - For example, change colour to black and yellow stripes, thin out ones arms and body and one becomes a sea snake. Or contract arms to look fatter, cahnge to bright red, divert fluids in tissues to make spikes and bumps appear and suddenly it's a starfish.

Not only does this show what not having bones or enclosed circulation combined with chromatic pigments does for one, the real kicker is that it argues for a conciousness that rivals ours and otranks many other animals. Consider; Octopus sees other organism. Octopus then works out the bodily manipulations needed to look like that and the colours required. To do this, it must be 'aware' of itself in a way that many otehr animals are not - A level of proprioreception that is near equal to human actors pretending to be trees.

And they can take the lids off of any containers. If they ever solve the reproduction and growth problems, you humans are screwed royally.

It seems the Org Backroom isn't the only place in the world where we're worried about the octosquid threat.

I think the pistol shrimp will give that a run for it's money...what other animal can create temperatures as hot as the surface of the sun?

If asked similar questions about the german government, I couldn't answer them either, guess that makes me politically stupid.

Then consider the clip a reminder!

Heheheh, just kiddin', jus' kiddin' One could find many such fools in any country in different ways.

Ask me about where Dutch towns and cities are and I would hardly know. Then again it's not really due to stupidity but more because of disinterest. But really, really... to confuse Australia for Iran or France... not knowing how many sides a TRIangle has (a triangle which should be easily visualized too)... for a Texan to say that the president is "r'ah 'cah he fr'm Texas".... oh please!! If you're American you should be ashamed that they are your countrymen and you should do everything within your power to pursue and knock them over the head :P

A nice compilation of some brilliant accidents when rowing. If you don't watch that one, be sure to check the best of the bunch!

Here's one for Louis.

That is one of my favourite songs!!!1!1!!!

Thanx for sharing. Here is the original video, a favourite of mine as well.
Uh, it is French and therefore artistically important and all that, but please don't watch it in an environment where relevant art doesn't include crucified naked women...
To be sure: I mean it is Not Safe For Work.

...and to Poland and the Ukraine too no doubt. You guys still at it?

I find the arrangement very a-ha-esque in the lush combination of keyboards anmd guitars. Presumably they took their style from someone else as well, but I can't think of anyone else earlier with that exact signature.

How about I hit you over the head. :P

He does have a point though, you try staying normal when you can't sneeze without hitting a telelens. But yeah, tragic.

Leave the Britney Fan Alone!!


BTW, the Emo Britney fan is Chris Crocker. He claims to have a gay relationship with both his brother and his dog. He's a YouTube attention seeker, and quite a celebrity in the making. http://www.myspace.com/itschriscrocker

Personally, I think fans like these are what drove Britney mad. He must be the world's biggest celebrity stalker. The thought seemingly never occured to him that his owning every picture ever made of Britney is what keeps his berated paparazzi in business.
