I need your help urgently with this one. We're (Canada) taking over. Need a quick upvote to quickly overcome the superior numbers of our opposition. It'll just be like that time we burnt down the Whitehouse in the war of 1812!

I see. At least we don't see those videos anymore. Good research, by the way.

There was no hate involved - nothing personal at least. I was trying to point out that we were seeing a lot of those types of videos and I was a little sick of them, and yes, I was a bit of an ass about it. That comment still makes me laugh though.

Why all the hate?

WOW! Right before I came across this post, I was thinking to myself, "you know what I've NEVER seen before? Someone taking footage of atomic explosions and then putting MUSIC to it... I bet that would be a wicked awesome idea!" and then here it was. The most unique and revolutionary concept EVER. Congrats to you for coming up with it!

heh - no Krupo, I was just demonstrating my lack of knowledge of classical composers. I didn't realize they were contemporaries, thought Mussorgsky came a bit later. I was just hearing the sharing of riffs with the 1812 Overture and credited Tchaikovsky. Thanks for the links.

Looks to me like some sort a sneaky Canadian plot to discredit good ol George. They still haven't gotten over that 1812 thingy and are jealous that our currency looks better.

I've never seen this show before. Is it like a Canadian Daily Show?

War = failure. Every war. No exception. How can we make it worse? Just keep doing it.

People like to point to the US revolution and WWII as "good" wars. I still say no. WWII was the result of the failure of the "victors" of WWI to realize that a perpetually humiliated and insolvent Germany would grow desperate and crazy like a caged dog poked with sticks all day long. It took a whole extra war to realize that real victory requires a Marshall Plan, not pointier sticks. Blame Chamberlain? It was already too late no matter what that guy did.

And the American revolution? Did all that violence (which includes 1812) really leave us better off than the Canadians, Australians or New Zealanders are today? It did enable the US to keep slavery legal for much longer than in the commonwealth though.

And the "unmistakable legacy of Vietnam?" Please. Guess what, we lost in Vietnam and what difference did it make? None. The dominoes didn't fall and the world didn't end (but the Cold War did). You can now vacation in Ho Chi Minh City. How much better off would we be now if we had stuck with it long enough to "win"? None--probably less. Piles of dead civilians afterwards? Yes. But we killed many more civilians over the many years we were there (estimated at 5.1 million) than were killed in the aftermath of our exit. What produced those killing fields and boat people? The war itself. None of that would have happened if the US had never intervened on behalf of French colonialism.

Saddam is dead. Whatever. I, personally, am ready to declare Iraq a total victory and George W. Bush an unprecedented genius--exceeded only by the enormity of his own (not gay!) penis. Fine. Let's all go home.

*music

Tchaikovsky

1812 Overture

ahh i see, well i'd say its political in an indirect sense, that NKorea would spend so much money/human resources on a demonstration when it can't even feed it's own people.

musically, well it's not in the title but its still bizarre, like an imitation 1812 overture or something.
surreal

This is one of those neutral votes... I don't know how to feel about it but I'm not going to downvote it because I didn't vote up. It wasn't bad, It was interesting to see but lacked something... perhaps the war of 1812 overture? :-)
