No, it's the final 15 seconds of a twenty-three hour video of someone making weird hand gestures to his cat.

It's edited to make it look like a snub, this is a clip from Obama's visit to Moscow in 2009. It looks to me like both Russian and American staff are in the same line-up with Obama being introduced to the Russians first, then Obama doing the same for Medvedev by introducing his people with an extended hand gesture ('cos it's rude to point). Same video from a different camera angle below.

Without a doubt, we need protests like this to affect political change.

The problem is the people this bit is criticizing are silencing their own voices by alienating people like me who agree in principle, and would like to identify with these people, but also know they're acting like crazy people.

The problem of course is ironically, the vast majority of people who would camp out indefinitely like this to protest something that is very important, and worthy of protesting would by definition be... crazy people.

Isn't the essence of democracy, that it includes every person's voice, whether they have face paint and funny hand gestures or not?
Not just the voice of the "normal people" who own 8 fast food franchises and pay their employees minimum wage, while selling a product that makes people sick and destroys the rainforest and the climate?
I want the face painted freaks to have as much of a say in their country as the millionaires and billionaires,
Because, frankly, one of those groups is morally and ethically bankrupt, and the other group just happens to be visually and socially awkward.

I agree with you 100% @Peroxide - I think the point of this bit is that the people who they're trying to influence are dismissing their ideas because they're acting like they're at Burning Man.

This guys is right. We should use our middle finger more for conversational hand gestures.


In the comments section on YouTube, he points out that this action was a lulzy stab at E-Bay/Paypal Cason

YouTube quote:- "my subliminal message to the faceless corporate money changers. People have been given these scumbags the finger since Jesus was a kid"

This guys is right. We should use our middle finger more for conversational hand gestures.

This guy is so annoying. 'Quit your bitchin.' You'd figure he would have not been so surprised and whiny about the whole thing. "What media is biased?"

What does the whole whiny thing about controlling hand gestures and acting like a senator have to do with any of the more serious stuff in his rant?

I bet this guy thinks hes a tiger now....

In this video:
* Hand gestures
* Trees
* Wasps
* Interesting attire worn by a businessman-fisherman-scientist

"Great Invention"? Yeah, because those motion-activated faucets that have taken over every bathroom in the world work SO well... </sarcasm>




First, shoot me for answering somebody who does sarcastic commments - but also who obviously does not do any cooking! These would not be for bathrooms, but for kitchens. I handle a lot of raw meat while making dinner, and you really don't want to touch anything until you have washed your hands. I can use my forearm to start the water flow, but it would be nice and easy to just wave my hand. And it is just not raw meats. My hands can be covered with oil, or something else sticky. You don't want to be touching anything before you get your hands clean (please also make touchless soap dispensers!)

Also, I am sure these cost and arm and a leg. So it is not very likely that I am going to get one in my KITCHEN any time soon. If you are so filthy that you'd want them in your bathroom also, you better get rich!

Come on, King is the instigator here. He walks all the way down from the other side of the bus (looks intoxicated), then walks past the limo. He's off screen at this point and hangs up the phone. As he comes back on screen he is making hand gestures and harassing the people around the limo. He then makes another call and continues to make hand gestures (again like he's drunk). He approaches the luggage and starts talking shit to the big security guy (who's mostly off camera). The guy in the red shirt goes and gets in-between King and the luggage. King says something to the guy and then turns away. The red shirt guy turns and lightly advances him away from the luggage when King turns to shove back. Then the big guy approaches, hits him and tries to grab him. King fumbles around and trips on the curb. He appears to have hit/scratched his head on the pillar (he checks his hand for blood). It wasn't a direct or hard hit or he would have been more concerned with and touching his head. The big guy stands over him for a few seconds and walks away. King then proceeds to stand up and fall back down multiple times like he is either drunk, faking, or both. He then gets up and hurriedly walks away.

Besides that, King's attorney claims "He didn’t know he was standing anywhere near somebody famous". Also King is seeking damages from the airport and a taxi dispatcher for allegedly "failing to provide a safe, secure environment for patrons".

OK, I know it's picky but here goes: I don't like the mannerisms affected by people in these slam poetry exhibitions. I don't really have a problem with what she's saying, I think, because when I see people take on those mannerisms, all I hear is, "blah, blah, blah". I realize she's trying to speak from the heart about an issue that's really important but I just can't get past the whole hand-gesturing-Ebonics thing. About the best way I can put how it makes me feel is with another quote from professor Carlin:

"Elvis was a bogus white guy with sex appeal and good looks who ripped off a lot of great black music, watered it down, and made it safe for lame whites who couldn’t handle the experience of raw, emotional black music."

That's pretty much exactly what I think of when I see hipsters attempting slam poetry.

I couldn't agree more with the sentiment, its a shame its delivery wasn't that great, I mean he had all the hand gestures that a rousing public speaker makes but he was constantly looking down at his script and that really detracted from it and even made his gesturing seem abit silly.

I am convinced that the one on the right says repeatedly, in a eubonics accent, "oh no you didnit." Complete with the hand gesture.

Nice dancing liked that part , gr8 to see kids having fun and been active.

the stupid hand gestures r quite idiotic though.
