Youtube smörgåsbord

Various youtube videos that have appeared in my google reader (or elsewhere) in the past few days, that I dubbed worthy of sharing with you, the lucky reader...

"Plane" stupid is right. This "commercial" is just downright retarded. I'll be merrily killing a few polar bears next week as I fly back from Michigan. And that same week, hundreds of dignitaries and celebrities will be flying to the UN's Copenhagen Conference to discuss "climate change." They sure aren't walking there, right? So how many polar bears worth of CO2 will be generated, in order for a bunch of celebrities do whine about polar bears supposedly dying? I can't wait till this whole global warming hoax has been exposed for the fraud it is...



Next up, a commercial that actually is entertaining, cute, and funny...



Paige and I sat down for a late dinner the other night and flipped on the tube to see what was on. PBS was showing some nature show about a guy who was far to emotionally attached to some cheetah that he hand raised from a kitten.

You can watch the video if you want, but here is the basic transcript:

Crazy cheetah dude: Hmmmm, there is an unknown cheetah acting strangely near the enclosure. It's possible this is another cheetah raised by hand by some other crazy dude and released here so that we could give it a home. Let's go try to pet it!"

Jason and Paige: Orrrr, it has rabies!!!

Crazy cheetah dude: Heeeere sweetie! Who are you? Come here swee....

Cheetah, who is probably hand raised: Raaaaawr!!

Crazy dude, still not getting the picture: Hello sweetie! If it attacks again, just kick it!

From the peanut gallery: Brilliant! Your puny boot against a rapid apex predator!!!

Crazy dude: I was shocked by this females behavior!

Meanwhile, the cheetah attempts to eat his buddy... followed by a shot of his bloodied hand.

Peanut gallery: Well he obviously didn't listen to the guy say to use your feet!

Cheetah ends up biting and scratching both of them, and they literally have to fight it off. And the guy is still going on about how if this is wild cheetah, it still might be a good mate for his little buddy.

And sure enough, it had... rabies.

I'm sorry. When someone sees a wild animal, predator at the top of the food chain, giant teeth and claws, that can run like 80 miles and hour, acting very strangely, and their first thought is "Wow... it's probably tame. Let's go pet it!" instead of "Hmmm, bet it has rabies. Let's get a close look... through the scope on my rifle." it somewhat tarnishes his reputation as a "wildlife expert."



These are funny...




But this is side splitting. The name of the refined gentleman who sent this to me will remain nameless. He sent it to "select group of friends with the sophistication to
appreciate this kind of humor." Obviously he had me nailed as the proper audience. I literally had trouble breathing I was laughing so hard. You've got to click through to the youtube page, as embedding is disabled. But trust me. Sooooo worth it...
