it's not LOL funny it's "What a humorous exposition, there" funny. but I never would of known that by this description:
Please enjoy one of the funniest (& cleanest) Christmas songs I've ever heard.

Point taken, *changes description.

It is.
It's not enforced.
Or, more precisely, the laws are for those who can't afford to have such laws subverted.>> ^longde:

The first section about the flawed graph is so true. It should be against the law to broadcast such a blatant lie on the air for a news network.

It would be better if it was against the law for them to call themselves a news network.>> ^longde:

Precisely.

Thanks for saving this one. I thought for sure it was going into the PQ.

Here is another video with the Mythbusters showing up to apologize for what happened.
Mythbusters Apologize
Personally, I don't blame the Mythbusters at all. I think the ultimate responsibility MUST land in the hands of the bomb range or the firing range. If the range officials told the Mythbusters that the setup was OK and would not jeopardize anyone then there isn't much more to be put at the Mythbusters feet. The Mythbusters ultimately setup the final details like the angle of fire, but the officials should have the ultimate say if it's OK or not (they should have limitations as well, such as speed and angle of fire). In every episode I've seen, that has been the way it has seemingly went (they look off camera for an OK and then typical start their countdown or fire).
This looked to be a situation where they had a device that could do terrible things as it almost did, yet simply firing in a non-populated direction (if there was one) would have been better. Maybe the "hill" they fired at seemingly gave the perception all these years that an object at speed simply could not climb it or "skip" it. In the end it will spell out extra measures that must take place at that range, or to altogether disallow any such events in the future at that location.


Wow, lucky them to see the hosts to apologize.

How much doya think it cost them to use the Death Star clip?

I think it's for No Shave November.
And it looks more Van Dykey to me.

If the majority of people agreed with KO, he would have more viewers.
They don't, and he doesn't.


Yes I agree, we shouldn't judge anything by its content. Rather, we should first gauge how popular it is, if it's not popular we should be afraid of enjoying it ourselves, because we're incapable of critical thinking.

>> ^lantern53:

As usual, I think the majority of people would strongly disagree with Mr. Olbermann.


As usual, you're wrong.
I hope all the Tea Partiers and Fox News Zombies continue to think that 20% is a majority.

Some different views and analysis here.

Has Olbermann ever named Jeffrey Immelt as the worst person in the world?
guy is a 1%er, his company made billions and paid no income taxes
Oh yeah...Immelt owns MSNBC.


a) Being CEO of a corporation does not confer ownership. That is where stocks come in.
b) Current TV is not equal to MSNBC.
c) Enumerating the million or so 1%ers not good television makes.
