Upvote for sheer surrealism on Gibbs' part. Meta-downvote for biased summary.
The influence of AIPAC on US Foreign Policy
Very insightful and enlightening documentary. Wanted to submit this the day after i saw it on television here, but only found one with the dutch commentary still in it. Seems it's missing here, as it's missing a little of the narrative now (would've preferred if they'd cc'd it). Oh well.
Great post!!

pssst, just between you & me ..i know (; I was being very very sarcastic He does indeed not seem to have more than one concept for characters. But is that really so important? Characters are nothing more than a vehicle for jokes, which are the highlight of the show imo.
As for POS; jokes like "mickey the xenophobic scotsman", "the fury of Clytemnestra", "euthanasia/youthinasia - boy they got enough kids over there as it is"? how can you dislike it? Of course there's no accounting for taste..but POS? meh.

"So is that damaging to your ears? Or do only high pitched sounds do significant damage?"
Damage to your (inner) ear occurs when enough energy is transferred to your hair cells, causing them to break.
A loud low sound like in this video has a low frequency (pitch) and a high amplitude (volume). As sound is just a displacement of air, at low enough frequencies with high amplitude it would basically just be a gust of wind (as you can clearly see).
The energy in a wave depends on its frequency and amplitude, imagine the hairs just swaying about 1 time per second..no big deal.
15000 times per second however, all the while swaying just as far, the stress would cause them to break.
High-energetic waves have the potential to do more damage, just think of visible light ("low" frequency) and x-rays (high frequency). Even ultraviolet light, which is just beyond the visible light in frequency, can cause skin cancer.
A low sound that blows your hair about won't damage your inner ear.
Lower sounds could theoretically kill the hairs but your eardrum would sooner rupture..ouch?
The basic rule probably should be, if it hurts turn down your volume down to about 30% of that volume : S long term higher frequency exposure is a bitch.
