Cool Cat Elevator Video | Kitty Gets the Royal Treatment

Posted: 02 Mar 2010 11:04 AM PST

They say that just as surely as toast will land buttered side down, a cat will always land on its feet. But the owners of this pampered pussy aren’t taking any chances!

This cat makes his way from the balcony to the ground below by way of a kitty elevator. The contraption is a little slow to get going, but it’s a safe way for puss to reach the ground floor.

While this is a very cool contraption, I have to wonder about the kind of pet owners who’ve made it. Who has enough time on their hands to make lifts for their cat after all?

Chatroulette Improv Video | One Man, One Cam, One Vocoder, Lots Of Randomers

Posted: 02 Mar 2010 11:00 AM PST

Chatroulette is a new video chat phenomenon which is taking the Web by storm. In essence, it allows two complete strangers to hook up via Webcam for as long or as short a time as they desire.

This guy decided to turn Chatroulette into an opportunity to improvise a rap on the fly. So we have him, his Webcam, his mic (complete with vocoder), and a willingness to make a complete tit of himself. Add strangers with their cams and voila, genius is born.

Even using Chatroulette for the four minutes he does, this guy encounters four men with their penises out. Because that is how a certain smattering of the population has decided to use this fun service.

But the rest are a mix of interesting and dull people just looking to have fun talking to complete and utter randomers. And the beauty is that if you don’t like what you see, one click, and you move on to the next person.

The Hills Have Thighs Video | Appalachian Comedy About Hillbillies Looks… Strange

Posted: 02 Mar 2010 06:59 AM PST

If you’d never heard of The Hills Have Thighs until this morning then you’re not alone. But people seem to be searching on Google for it so I thought I should check it out.

It turns out to be a comedy following a band of hillbillies in Appalachia as they try and solve the disappearance of local hillbilly icon Daniel Boone Owen. Sounds lame, I know, but the trailer makes it look OK.

The Hills Have Thighs comes from the mind of writer/director/actor James Bubba Cromer, or Coach Cromer as he’s referred to at the beginning of the trailer. He must be one strange man to have come up with film. Because it too is very strange.

The title is an obvious play on The Hills Have Eyes but that’s about where the similarities end. If you like your comedies sick, twisted, and low budget then The Hills Have Thighs could be for you. I don’t think it’s for me.

Funny Harry Potter ‘Dangerous Wands’ Trailer | Dangerous Minds With Coolio Parody

Posted: 01 Mar 2010 08:53 PM PST

There have been so many predictable outcast-teacher-cleans-up-ghetto-school movies that it makes me sick. “Freedom Writers,” “Dangerous Minds,” and “Stand and Deliver” just to name a few. So how would one go about improving on the genre?

Add some wands and magic of course!

CollegeHumor always has great parodies and this one is no exception. Everything from the special effects, to the dialogue, to the acting is superb. Even the song remake is great!

The best part has to be the scene with the emotional kid talking about how is father and brother are locked up in Azkaban. I nearly died laughing when he dropped his wand.

Watch Coolest Grandparents Ever Play Piano Vid | Awesome Song & Dance

You may be able to kick butt on Halo and read HTML, but you might as well face the fact that your grandparents will always be cooler than you.

How adorable is this video?! She is so cute when she sits/falls back on the seat for a moment. And also when she waves off the camera at the end.

To some people, it may seem like it’s getting all excited about something simple, but it’s more than that: it’s real life fun.

These two have been married for 62 years, according to the video description, and he will be 90 this year.

Love it.

Adorable Lamb Video | Baby Sheep Saved from Slaughter

Posted: 01 Mar 2010 04:07 PM PST

After being born on the back of a truck headed for a slaughterhouse, the future didn’t look too bright for Angelo. But a kindly passer-by spotted the little lamb and begged the driver to set him free. The driver acquiesced and now Angelo is thriving.

Today he spends his days at the Farm Sanctuary, an American shelter which rescues and provides lifelong care for animals rescued from factory farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses.

It doesn’t look like a bad life for Angelo. He’s got plenty of space for gambling, plenty of food for munching, and lots of other farmyard friends.

I know the folks at Farm Sanctuary are doing a great job, but I’d love to adopt this little guy!

Marie Osmond’s Son – Michael Blosil – Found Dead (News Video) | Teen Commits Suicide

Posted: 01 Mar 2010 04:04 PM PST

Marie Osmond and her family are in shock over the suicide death of her son, 18 year old Michael Blosil – who leaped to his death.

Michael, one of Marie’s eight children, had long dealt with depression, but his suicide still came as a total shock. According to some reports, he seemed to be looking forward to the future.

The Osmonds have ever been a family to bond together during the tough times, so I have no doubt there will be plenty of support going around during this difficult time.

It’s never easy to lose someone, especially to suicide. My heart goes out to them.

Indian Fast Food Video | Flying Parathas!

Posted: 01 Mar 2010 12:12 PM PST

While most of us in need of some greasy, artery-clogging fast food head for McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, or any of the other big names, things are slightly different in India.

As you can see from this video, fast food in India can also mean flying food, with this chef able to make parathas very quickly before dispatching them to the other side of the kitchen in a rather novel fashion.

Parathas are Indian flat-breads made from dough containing flour and ghee (clarified butter). Parathas are usually filled with one of a number of different fillings, including vegetables and paneer (Asian cheese).

I’m not sure whether this fast food stall throws the parathas for any reason other than novelty factor to draw in the crowds. Or it could be just basic bad kitchen design. Either way, it seems to work and is pretty damn awesome.
