1965 anti-porn, anti-gay PSA
hehehe another nice example of the most two-faced community regarding sex: US americans. by far biggest sex industry and porn market, but prudery everywhere. funny in my eyes :-)

Put it in purse
by the way: that's one of the big differences from "Europe" to the US. Over here manuals are the usual, automatic are considered to be old people's cars. Yes, there is some sort of evolution with doubleclutches and 7gear automatics etc., but still i'd say at least 3/4 of all cars come with manual.

But hey, as german kids we had to go to driving school for months and pay those bloodsuckers something between 2000 to 3000 $, so the least to expect is to learn how to drive a manual ;-)

Putin's Message to the West
That was indeed very interesting. To a certain extent the creator of this video is right: There are certain reflexes when it comes to russia and specifically Putin. In my eyes he is clearly not a democrat himself (judging from his way of governance), but because of the reflexes i mentioned (clichees and cold war comparisons) i would say a regular person outside of Russia doesn't really get to hear more of Putin than single sentences, probably taken out of context. People love good/evil pairs, they don't like to hear from or think about greys in between. Videos like this are always helpful in getting to a profound opinion of the world around you. So thanks for that.

But i have to disagree with CCCP here on two things: "The same great nation that was fighting nazi oppression"? Not really. First of all today's russia didn't exist back then. You are refering to the soviet union (aka CCCP). Second, it was not as if the CCCP thought "oh, those evil Nazis! Let's fight them and save the world", but war was brought to them when Hitler was on his way of securing "Lebensraum im Osten" (translated to something like "living space in the east"), attacking for example Poland and what has become the Russia we know today. So they were defending themselves from direct attacks.

The Fighting the Nazis without a direct cause award clearly goes to the US, although in my eyes that wasn't an altruistic but economic decision.

Please, don't think of me or my comments of being anti-russian or somewhat, i just like to help lightening stuff up if i can. I'm always open to discussion.

-- edit: Oh i forgot: The speech itself was pretty good at most parts. I was surprised, i thought of Putin in clichees myself. So thanks again.

Dutch Antiwar Propaganda Clip
erm... Exactly where is the comparison between Nazi aggression and US aggression? I did see some US flags in there, but i don't think they were used in a specific anti-american way but just because the by far biggest part of military footage (fiction or reality) shows US military and the creators of this video had to take their clips from somewhere. But where was the Nazi reference?

Maybe Mink mixed up the german word for german ("deutsch") with dutch (our northern neighbors)?

What i do like best is the fact that this video mixes two types of "propagandas", scenes that are taken from ads (i guess) and scenes that are taken from anti-war movies. I think it's pretty strong, also because of the great music choice and the very slow change of mood / setting from heroic to horrible.

Dim Mak - Do you believe? I don't
Look at him. Look at most of his students. Do they look well trained? No.

And btw: "Tai Chi(combat) Aikido(combat)"? What in the world have those two to do with your definition of combat?

The STIG accepts Top Gear Award
i always wondered how many Stigs there actually are. Oh and typical fanboy whining mode on: The show lost so much of its greatness with the leaving of Tiff. But thank god or the flying spaghetti monster that we have Fifth Gear now :-)

Woman at a comedy show in Australia with no sense of humor
Looks like i am the only one who thinks that HE was the one being over the top rude. she interrupted his program, it's ok to be angry about that. But there certainly are millions of ways to handle that situation better than he did. Even if he didn't insult her personaly in the first place, with the stuff he directed directly to her he absolutely did.

Not funny in my eyes. But hey, we're are democracy, aren't we? ;-)
