i'm scared.

from freewilliamsburg.

"National Review Writer says global warming is great!"

"Personally, I don’t know what all the shouting is about. Global warming is great. Granted, maybe it isn’t really happening, and if it is there are strong reasons to doubt that humans have anything to do with it. But if the world is warming, I say “bravo.” People in most parts of the globe should have no objection to a warmer, wetter climate. If the aliens were watching they’d conclude we were making our planet more habitable on purpose."

~James S. Robbins

no joke.

ch-ch-ch-changes....

never get between a man and his mcdonalds....apparently

"Denied a cheeseburger, gentleman attempts to electrocute police and K9

A 39-year-old gentleman, clothed in boxer shorts, was arrested after punching through a plate glass window with his his fist to gain ingress to a McDonalds quick service restaurant at 3am. Police were quick to arrive on the scene, but their attempts to capture Adalberto Cardoso were foiled, because he was covered in perspiration and his own blood, making him too slippery to grip.

Police surrounded Mr. Cardoso inside the restaurant but he escaped by jumping through a broken window. Outside, Mr. Cardoso encountered a police dog, punched it in the mouth and neck, and jumped back through the broken window into the restaurant.

The police re-entered the restaurant and found Mr. Cardoso standing on top of a shake machine. As the police approached, Mr. Cardoso "began throwing handfuls of milkshake at the police and the police dog, officers allege."

When Mr. Cardoso pulled the machine from the wall, the dog attacked him and knocked him to the ground. The quick-thinking Mr. Cardoso put the shake machine's 220-volt power cord in his mouth and announced, "I'm going to kill us all." When he bit into the electrical cord, the dog and three officers received electrical shocks. Mr. Cardoso released the cord after a police officer struck him on the shoulder with a fighting baton.

Mr. Cardoso was arrested and charged with cruelty to animals, breaking and entering, assault on police officers. and resisting arrest."

CRAZY!!

making him too slippery to grip......that's my favorite part.

hehe

here's a fun little link.

"Artist's Comments

An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself.
A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can find - the brush tool, the eraser tool - to get back at his tormentor. It's resourcefulness versus power. Who will win? You can find out yourself. "

Animator vs. Animation.

enjoy.

and this is why....

i LOVE stephen colbert!


WATCH IT!

or read about it here...

"Stephen Colbert Causes Chaos on Wikipedia, Gets Blocked from Site

On last Monday's episode of the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert addressed the online resource Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that anyone can read or edit. Colbert praised Wikipedia for "wikiality," the reality that exists if you make something up and enough people agree with you - it becomes reality. Colbert's subsequent examples to prove "wikiality" would cause chaos on the site, and lead an administrator to subsequently block his account.

...some fun stuff in the middle...

Colbert then urged his audience to find the Wikipedia entry on elephants and create an entry that stated their population had tripled in the last six months, a fact he freely stated to not know if it was "actually true," with his sidebar stating "it isn't." Guess what happened next? Scores of internet users took Colbert's bait, repeatedly vandalizing approximately 20 articles on elephants before all being placed under a lock. The move also subsequently caused Wikipedia administrator Tawker to block Stephen Colbert from the website, reportedly to verify his identity."

WATCH the clip. it is genius.
