The real meaning of MPH- The Original

How long does it take to go 80 miles if you're going 80 miles per hour? Well, this seemingly simple question has an apparently complicated explanation, as the blonde in the next video shows us.



I don't blame her. I blame the American education system.

The Google+ project: A quick look-see

Here is a video that overviews the Google+ social network. I am not sure why, but this video was among the most popular videos on Youtube when I posted it.



So, yeah, Google wants to take over the world. There's no surprise there ...

Personally, I think that the Google+ social network is lame. My experience with it has been somewhat negative so far. I signed up for an account, played with it for 10 minutes, and then never touched it again.

Food Court Proposal Gone Bad

Have you ever planned the perfect proposal to the woman of your dreams in a very public place? Were you turned down by said woman and publicly humiliated in the process? If the answer to both of those questions is yes, then you might have a small indication of what the guy in the next video is feeling.



So, yeah, poor bastard. I really do feel sorry for him. Worse yet, he gained a kind of notoriety that meant that he had to keep reliving his humiliation over and over again as various people brought up the incident to him again. Here are a few examples:

So ... yep. Poor guy.

Another Not Funny Video from Funny or Die: The Carrie Prejean Sex Tape

Sometimes I wonder why I even go on the Funny or Die website anymore. I go there looking for cool videos to post on my blog and, with few exceptions, leave disappointed.

A perfect example of this comes from the next entry. Here, Funny or Die posted something claiming to be "The Carrie Prejean Sex Tape". So, I decided to watch the video, hoping this time I wouldn't be disappointed.

I was still disappointed.



Okay, so the thing I don't understand about the Funny or Die site is this: they have money, lots of viewers, professional script writers, and star power that amateur producers on Youtube could only have wet dreams about at night. Yet, they still can't manage to make anything better than the video above?

I mean, it's not just the blatant appeal to sex and sexism, the pandering to Perez Hilton and the whole Hollywood slapping traditional morals with a wet tuna thing, or even the inane magic marker drawings on the video at the end. It's the fact that, consistently, the videos on this site just aren't funny. A lot could be forgiven if I laughed, even once, when I watched videos like this one on the Funny or Die site. For some reason, it just doesn't happen, with very few exceptions.

Funny or Die just sucks.

Dumb Blonde's Solution to Global Warming

Every time I see videos like this one, I ask myself if someone can really be this dumb. I think that the unfortunate answer is yes, as this dumb blonde proves beyond doubt. Watch as this blonde girl gives her stupid solution to the problem of global warming.



Blonde Solution To Global Warming - Watch more Funny Videos

Okay, here are a few points that I find disturbing about what this dumb blonde had to be thinking in order to make this comment.

1. She must not realize how big the earth is and that the human population on earth covers only about 1 percent of its surface.

2. She must not have any concept of thermodynamics, which would tell her that air conditioners actually GENERATE heat in a closed system. The earth is not exactly a closed system, but the overall effect would still be to generate heat, not remove it from the system.

3. She must not realize how fast the cold air (even forgetting #2 for a second)would be dissipated if left outdoors and subject to conduction and convection without walls insulating it.

Good showing girl.

4 Reasons Why Tea Partiers Are Idiots:



4  Reasons Why Tea Partiers Are Idiots:

You’ve heard them on the radios; you’ve seen them on T.V. You’ve known them, you’ve lived among them, and (God forbid) you might even be one of them. But, do you know why they’re idiots? Here, I give you five reasons why members of the so called Tea Party movement are idiots.
1.       They hate the government: This has to be one of the stupidest arguments that Tea Partiers routinely make: “government doesn’t solve anything; it only makes the problem worse”. Oh really? So, you’re telling me that you don’t appreciate the government owned roads that you drive on for work every day, the government run police and fire stations that protect your house when you’re gone, the government military that prevents other nations from invading you, etc.? Give me a break.

Still not convinced? Well, let’s look at some other examples of countries with small government, say Somalia. How’s that working out for them?

2.       They like Glenn Beck: Or, specifically, they like Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Michael Savage, Ron Paul, and a whole cadre of idiots who believe among other things that Barack Obama was born in Kenya the world was literally created in six days, and FEMA is running concentration camps.  Wow. Just wow.

3.       They hate taxing rich people: I have family members who are quite well off, including one household that makes over 150K per year, who live very comfortable lifestyles. However, even they don’t make enough money to pay more taxes if the Bush tax cuts are repealed. Yet, the Tea Party movement supports the repeal of these tax cuts, all under the guise of small government. Worse yet, they have duped tons of yokels into supporting this idea, very much against their own economic self interest. Again, wow.

4.       They cut spending needlessly: Let me explain. There are three main sources of discretionary government spending in this country (meaning after worker’s salaries have been paid, etc.): military, Social Security, and Medicare.  Between them, they account for like 80 or 90% of the budget annually. However, the whole focus of the Tea Partiers in balancing the budget is to cut programs like Pell Grants – spending that accounts for a tiny fraction (less than 1%) of the overall budget in the country annually. Bone heads.

What are your thoughts on this? Am I being too harsh? Leave your comments below.

Guy shoots himself in the eye with a paintball gun

I think that the title to this video pretty much says it all. It's just one more example of dumb people doing dumb things -- this time by shooting himself in the eye with a paintball gun, next time with a real gun.

Should You Speak Spanish to Your Waiter If You Don't Know that Much Spanish?

Spanish spoken in the United StatesImage via Wikipedia
As a fluent Spanish speaker and an American native, I often see American who don't know as much Spanish as I do take every possible opportunity to speak Spanish to people they meet from a Spanish speaking country, whether or not the opportunity is warranted or even invited. Here are some tips for Americans to avoid offending or looking like an arse.
1. When you have a waiter or food server who has an accent, don't speak Spanish to them: Even though it might seem like a good idea to go into Taco Bell and repeat over and over again in almost unintelligible Spanish, "Yo quiero un burrito." in a horrible American accent, it generally isn't. In fact, it's actually a good way to get your food spit in or dishwater poured in your drink. Ask yourself this question: does the server speak better English than you do Spanish? If the answer is yes, please shut your mouth. If the answer is honestly no, please still shut your mouth and find a person to translate.
But, if they come to the country, they should speak English, right? I mean, stupid (mutter something about a sick bird). . . why don't they speak English?
You try supporting a family on 6.75$ per hour and see how much time you have left to learn English. Besides, just because someone is Hispanic, speaks Spanish, or even speaks English with an accent and looks Hispanic doesn't mean that they're an illegal immigrant. As an example, one of my great friends in life is a man from Germany. He immigrated here with his family a number of years ago but never learned more than basic English. However, he's never had too many problems communicating with people, probably because he gets more respect for being German and white than a Hispanic does for being Mexican, etc. and olive colored. Don't ask me why things work this way -- they just do.
In summary, if you speak good enough Spanish that you can say things without bad grammar and a heavy gringo accent, go ahead and speak Spanish to whomever you wish. However, for your own pride, you might want to refrain from speaking Spanish when you don't know much Spanish. It makes you look like a dork.
