Last Week Tonight - Ferguson and Police Militarization
HOW is it relevant? What do you know that the Ferguson police chief doesn't?
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/08/15/us/missouri-teen-shooting/index.htmlThe police officer who shot Brown didn't know about the robbery. How can it possibly be relevant; karmic justice?
His stealing is relevant. This is Nothing but a Political Correctness diatribe for 15 minutes.
Autopsy report shows 6 shots hit the giant 300# thug: 3 in his right arm, one in upper right chest, one in right neck one in right eye and one on top of the head and ALL 6 shots hit in the frontal plane, I.E. none, not a single one in the back,
Liberalism is a nasty disease that rots the brain !
Last Week Tonight - Ferguson and Police Militarization
@bobknight33 - "giant 300lb thug" is your way of painting him using language and insinuation into a monster, and i think that if i had separately referred to him as a "cuddly gentle giant" you'd probably launch into a litany about liberal propaganda.
Sadly, i don't live there, don't know him, have never had any experience at the kind of life that people live in those kinds of places, so i honestly couldn't say whether the backlash is justified, nor what type of person he is. What part of Ferguson do you live in and how long have you known the guy? If you base all of that on the autopsy report, could i ask how many autopsy reports you've read through in your line of work and how you figure out his personality from it?
I'd just love to know how you've found him guilty before there's been any kind of independent investigation, cos i'm pretty sure they'd need all the evidence and witnesses and access to crime scene details - not to mention years of experience - before they made their mind up, you might be able to save them time.
Also, I'd like to see this video, but can't find anywhere to watch it from UK it seems.

Key & Peele: Office Homophobe
I doubt it was intentional either but that's not really the point. The things we unconsciously say can often be just as important as the things we consciously, intentionally say. When we're talking about whether or not specific groups of people are acceptable to a broader culture, so much of how people interpret such a discussion is through the lens of their own inculturation and unconscious assumptions.
Take a look at the black community's response to the Ferguson situation on social media. One of the memes that cropped up was a comparison of headlines between stories where a white person commits murder versus when a black person is a murder victim. In the former, the headlines express a sense of disbelief such as "Theatre shooting perpetrator was 'brilliant scientist', says graduate advisor". In the latter case, the headlines tend to imply the victim got what was coming to him or her, i.e. "Shooting victim had history of drug addiction, multiple arrests." Does that mean the news media hates black people and is hopelessly racist? No, of course not. I bet none of the editors who ran those headlines thought for a moment that they were imposing racial biases upon their stories. But, the biases are definitely there -- it's a shock that a white person would kill, but it's expected and probably just that a black person was killed -- and that shapes how other people perceive the affected groups without it even entering their conscious consideration.
In the case of this video, I doubt the comedians in question considered what I've brought up, but again the note on which it ends is definitely one of "if gay people just acted normal then they wouldn't have any problems in society." I find that problematic, whether it was intentional or not.
I'm not even saying you're necessarily wrong -- but that's the darkest, most cynical possible interpretation of that sketch,and I sincerely doubt it was the intent.
The Truth About the Ferguson Riots & Martial Law
The trends in policing throughout the country are ominous, thanks to the drug war, the Dept of Homeland Security, and the spillover from America's many foreign wars. The whole world is a U.S. battlefield, and the people of the world, including Americans, are the enemy.

An unarmed thief got shot.
Should we be sad that this young criminal career was cut short?
http://news.yahoo.com/turmoil-tear-gas-way-hope-ferguson-053336976.html
He was told to get out of the street, he did not do so. He did not respect authority. Then went to the officer's car and grabbed him through the window and was shot.... I believe Brown thought the cop knew he had just committed a STRONG ARMED ROBBERY just a few minutes earlier and that's why he reached inside the window to grab the policeman. No one would grab someone and try to pull them into the car - especially not a policeman - Brown reached inside the police car and grabbed the officer. He was shot. Case closed.

Interesting article regarding Ferguson:

And she's not done yet:
Quite similar to a couple of articles written about the Tottenham riots after the death of Mark Duggan in 2011.

Jonah Hill and Morgan Freeman Share Awkward Moment
Watch Ferguson's show. That's literally all he does. It's too bad he's going off the air at the end of year.
One of the reasons I enjoy this show is because of the regular, shoot-the-shit kind of talk between celebs. Same with The Daily Show.
Most of us are used to canned 7 minute 'pre-approved' questions interjected with a not-that-funny story and a 30 second clip that is modern american late night talk shows. I mean the reason John Stewart has won so many concurrent Emmies is because he actually interviews like a real person and not a robot, he gets the meat of the topic, the interesting stuff. It's just so much less 'scripted'. Sure Graham Norton has the 'not-so-funny stories and the one liners but his show often involves a more casual dynamic between the guests. It's something I'd much like to see on US late night.
craig ferguson speaks from the heart
Pretty sure same as this http://videosift.com/video/Craig-Ferguson-no-more-Britney-jokes-crowd-laughs-anyway
Stephen Colbert, Michelle Obama and the French President
every time a see jimmy fallons face it reminds me that

b) that i should catch up on my craig ferguson
David Letterman Announces His Retirement from the Late Show
Here's to a great career, Dave. You will be missed!
And I now cast a hard and emphatic vote behind Craig Ferguson to take over Dave's helm at the Late Show! He's the only one who has Dave's kookiness that would fit perfectly in to that slot.
Craigy Ferg -- the Women love him.

"Europe is quietly rotting out"
Just to avoid any confusion: this post is just about the talk by Ferguson, which lasts ~9:40. TubeChop has been wonky on my end for a few months now, so I decided to just take the clip in its entirety and mark the excerpt in question by hand.

Given the fact that YT's API does not implement any stop mark for playback, it is technically longer than 10 minutes. But since the actually intended content does not meet the criteria, I tried to avoid marking it as long...
