The world is just… awesome!

In the spirit of my travels these coming weeks (Beijing to Inner Mongolia, San Francisco, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico), I’m reminded of this Discovery Channel promo. The lyrics are below, just in case you’d like to sing along. Happy holidays!

Astronaut 1: It never gets old, huh?
Astronaut 2: Nope.
Astronaut 1: It kinda makes you wanna…
Astronaut 2: Break into song?
Astronaut 1: Yep.

I love the mountains.
I love the clear blue skies.
I love big bridges.
I love when great whites fly.
I love the whole world,
And all its sights and sounds.

Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da!

I love the ocean .
I love real dirty things.
I love to go fast.
I love Egyptian kings.
I love the whole world
And all its craziness

Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da!

I love tornadoes.
I love arachnids.
I love hot magma.
I love the giant squids.
I love the whole world.
It’s such a brilliant place.

Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da,
Boom-de-ah-da…

Jenny Slate said what???

Jenny Slate’s debut on the last night’s season premiere on Saturday Night Live is sure to cause a stir. During a live biker girl talk show skit, where a lot of freakin’ swear words were being slung, Slate dropped the F-word by accident.

In an effort to clean up this mess, I’m sure YouTube videos of this faux pas are bound to be taken down sooner rather than later… NBC and FCC trying to keep this video from propagating is like parents trying to shield their kids’ innocence. Give up the puritanical goals and deal with reality — she said fucking.

My two cents: An educated person (adult or child) can make wiser decisions than an ignorant innocent.

WARNING: Video contains strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.

What would happen if those boring educational videos they showed you in high school were made by European television advertising agents?

Assassination caught on video

This video was first posted on 22 Aug 2009, but was recorded on 14 June 2009, by a security camera inside a McDonald’s restaurant in Catia la Mar (Vargas, Venezuela).

All we can see is that a young man walked inside the fast food chain, drew a handgun, and proceeded to shoot at (at least) one costumer, then continued to flee the scene. So far, no article can be found to give more details on the events that were captured here.
