Fat Kid Sucessfully Avoids Ridicule By Swimming

Ok - so check out this video. It is from the onion; it is a made up news story, and I did have a little chuckle at it.

But at the same time, I found it kind of disturbing. But before I ruin the punchline for you why not have a look at it yourself. This will cost you about a minute, and the video is definitely not safe for work.

All finished?

So this is a real kid - maybe 12-13 years old? And he's overweight for real, and these adults really poked fun at him, and the kid looked like he was going to cry a couple of times, didn't he?

I'm all for teaching kids humility and not covering them in bubble rap so that they never feel the chill of the cruel, cold world outside the womb. But should adults really be ridiculing children for comedic effect?

Check out the fake promo during the last 10 seconds of the clip though. HA!

Does the space cold make your nipples go all pointy?

Once again, I've got no original content for you. Sorry, but I'm alternately high from the consumption of suddenly abundant German chocolate, and crashing low when I wake up in the morning. It's been rough.

The link here is a Flight of the Concorde's hilarious tribute to Bowie. If you live in the US, I wouldn't consider this very safe for work. Especially if you work for a certain US financial institution that will remain nameless.

IIII Roooovv UUUUUUUUUU

I discovered this clip last night and have watched it 20 times or more, squealing with laughter after each viewing. I present to you, Odie, the talking dog.



I'm not sure what has me so drawn to this video. Sure, it's a cute doggie doing something adorable. But it is totally unlike me to watch a video this often. I think they put heroin in the clip somehow. Now I'm addicted. Seriously. While putting this little blog together, I watched it four more times.

Pugs have never been my favorite dogs by any means. I'm drawn more toward Labs and Boxers - you know, real dogs. But lately their little smooshed in faces have been getting to me. I think it started with this video:



And then was further cemented by this video:



I guess this is just my version of a summer fling. Between the pugs and Gary Fisher, I'm quite the whore these days, aren't I?

I finally joined the Sedaris bandwagon. I love David and I love Amy. They make me laugh. This clip will probably make Alexis laugh more than anyone, but it is just damned funny.

The video portion kind of sucks a bit, so you don't have to watch. But do listen. And dream of the hot Dutch boys.

Stressed out? In a bad mood?

I got this fun little thing from Romeo. It is kind of addictive!
