This is one of the greatest scenes of any war movie ever made … and someone made it even better by adding Donald Duck to it. Fascinating. And a pretty good imitation, too.

After the abomination of yesterday’s story about that horrible Bosnian cunt drowning puppies, this next one will soothe and refresh the palate.

As we all know, Mexican people do nothing all day except get drunk, rob foreign tourists, and get pregnant all day long because their Pope tells them condoms are the Devil. They also make pretty nice dog trainers, as it turns out. Here we see some authentic Mexican craftsmanship in dog form:

That dog’s pretty good, eh? Better than Kate Gosselin on Dancing With The Stars, anyway. And less of a bitch, to boot.

Youtube is the basis of a lot of stupid shit. A large majority of the original material uploaded to youtube is made by annoying little teenagers who think the world wants to hear them bitch about how tough life is and say fuck 10 times. Another big majority are people who are really trying to create good entertainment on a budget. Then there’s that small amount of original material that is actually well produced and enjoyable to watch.

This brings me to a couple of videos produced by Radiolab, a nationally syndicated radio program produced in New York City, and broadcast on NPR (Nation Public Radio) stations in the United States. The videos are complex and poignant yet simple and inspiring. The first video was made last year and was simply title “Moments”. The video is a simple look at life and the moments that make it special.

The other and most recent video is entitled, “Words”. It’s a simple and thought provoking play on words. It’s very well cut together and makes you think as you watch it. You will probably have to watch it twice to catch what the filmmaker is doing here. These videos are exceptional and should really inspire the amateur film maker in us all.

By the way, did you catch the eight words that were being described in the video?

Maroochydone High School in Australia was getting sued by parents that wanted their kids failing grades changed to passing grades. These students were failing because they were absent 15 to 30 times in the semester and didn’t complete enough work to earn a passing grade.

The teachers became fed up with the parents and the constant complaining, instead of the parents taking some responsibility. So, the teachers changed the school’s answering service. This is what the teachers unanimously agree it should say.

The greatest comic strip of any kind was Calvin And Hobbes, created with expertly whimsical care by Bill Watterson. The daily story of the little boy with a big imagination and a stuffed tiger for a best friend captured the hearts of readers everywhere, and remains the high water mark for creative, childlike storytelling.

This is the last time we saw Calvin and Hobbes, in a strip dated December 31, 1995 … so long ago:

Although Watterson retired the characters permanently, that doesn’t mean their spirit cannot live on. Take, for example, the newest Superman/Batman comic (number 75), which features this wonderful extra tribute to Watterson’s world: (more…)
