Irish People Taste Test Thanksgiving Food
ChaosEngineHipster millennials might have to put up with that shit, but I never had anything but amazing turkey in my youth.
To this day, my Xmas in july (Southern Hemisphere winter) dinners are the stuff of legend.
If you dare impugn my countrymans amazing turkey, you will have to come to NZ and I will cook a fantastic meal for you! That'll learn ya...
I can't believe the dry obviously commercial breastmeat slabs they gave them. Yerk. Turkey must really suck in Ireland to have that sad excuse of a lunchmeat be praised.
The Last Audio Cassette Factory
ulysses1904I got my first cassette recorder for Xmas in 1969, I carried it with me everywhere. I still have a large plastic crate with dozens of unlabeled cassettes I've had since the early 70s. It's interesting to listen to them and be surprised by the stuff I find on them, music, conversations, radio stations. Good to see cassettes are still around.
Why Britain Sucks At Product Placement
RedSkyWhat irritates me the most is product placement on news sites.
With everyone using AdBlock I can imagine they're struggling for revenue, but it's frustrating when you see say tech sites previously with good editorial commentary running "XX releases new product" every second post which all read like a press release. Or "xmas gift ideas" articles that are pretty much glossy ad inserts.

newtboyOh yeah. A chance to hijack AND be lazy! Count me in...Happy Xmas and Merry New Year to all, especially @ant who's thoroughly lost control of his own post!
russell brand attacks christmas ads
A10anisBah-Humbug. I suppose he had to find something, at this time of good cheer, to stimulate his vainglorious existence.
Still, could've been worse. He might of shattered the faith of our little ones by saying that Santa doesn't exist, and far from rewarding well behaved children, Santa is simply another marketing tool invented by the EVIL corporations.....
Merry Xmas Russell, you sad individual.

necessary illusions-thought control in democratic societies
A10anisYou say; "i do not understand why chomsky confuses you so easily.you pretty much have the same criticism on every video you watch of him."
Well, my friend, that is precisely because his opinions never change. The west, and everything it has achieved or stands for - especially the USA - is, according to him the great evil. So why would my comments be amended?
Btw, your points; 1,2,3 are exactly what one would expect from a Chomskey devotee.
Of course I watch the videos. Though I must admit it is more for the soporific tone of his voice than his lazy defeatist opinion. Also, I doubt that reading one of his books would better explain his points. Rather, I would imagine they go into even greater unnecessary detail of his already well known views.
Finally; thank you for your concern, but I can assure you, I am far from being confused regarding Chomskey or, in fact, your good self, who derides my repeated criticism yet insists on posting the same anti-establishment videos.
Ps; Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you, and yours.
@A10anis
i do not understand why chomsky confuses you so easily.you pretty much have the same criticism on every video you watch of him.
his premise is fairly consistent and self evident:he is critical of power.
while i do not disagree with your assertions on personal responsibility and i suspect most people would agree with you on that point.i do not see chomsky making an argument against personal responsibility.so your point in that regard is moot.but to ignore massive monied and powerfully influential political and corporate institutions and their affects on society is naive' at best and venal at worst.
you appear to be made uncomfortable by the criticizing of the power structure and institutions of the west (i do not know where "here" is for you).which suggests to me that you have confused ideology with reality,made clearer by your suggestions:
1.taking advantage of an education system that more and more translates to debt peonage and a high percentage of not even working in the field utilizing that education.
2.free thought.
ok i have to admit this one made me giggle.
everybody has free thought but the irony here is relevant to the very video on how that thought is manipulated and your comment reveals in ironic delicousness.
3.certain rights.
yes we do have certain rights.rights that have been systematically chipped away at due to abstract wars on:terror,drugs,immigrants etc etc.rights are becoming more a suggestion than actual rights.
your conclusion has the suggested flavor that since chomsky benefited in this society that he should just shut up,sit down and behave like a good little boy,and that those who admire his courage to criticize the most powerful country on the planet are "followers".
since you do watch the videos of chomsky( you do watch them dont you?),yet have the exact same criticism every time,maybe it is time you actually read one of his books?
just an idea...
you may find much of your confusion in regards to chomsky will be clarified.
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to ALL. (Happy Talk Post)
LannHappy Xmas / Boxing Day everyone!
