There's gotta be a mashup of him with Epic Beard Man, both have a bad case of the crazies!


He even has his own Amber Lamps girl - the quiet, mysterious beauty in the axillary.

>> ^Raaagh:
I always cringe at the first ambalamps spray of blood, and it looks like it drifts over Girl-in-blue-who-is-too-beautiful-too-care.


Her name is Amber Lamps.

Now someone needs to create a cartoon about Amber Lamps that depicts how she took control of the mind's of everyone on the bus to play out her evil fantasy.

Epic Bus Man, Amber Lamps, and Big Heaphones Bus Girl, plus I guess the girl taping... this cellphone video has some serious star-making power. I bet any one of those people could go ahead and start booking appearances right now.

They all made racial slurs.

Anna is letting her emotions get to her. Both parties are at fault.

This reminds me of High-school bus rides.

The internet has idolized every one in the goddamn video.. including "Amber Lamps: who is too beautiful to care."

Epic Beard Man is Epic!

If you forget that, you might have to get some Amber Lamps...

Upvote the Amber Lamps <3

Explained. Finally!



<3 Amber Lamps.

I'm not judging anyone for watching this video for its trainwreck-of-humanity fascination value. I get it... but I'd personally have to agree with peggedbea's sentiment, and I totally understand longde's viewpoint as well. This video is just pure sadness.

Let me illustrate: The following is a straight cut-n-pasted sampling of the "commentary" straight off the recent YouTube thread:

^Brilliant. Amber Lamps is destined for Internet fame.

I wandered into the thread almost by accident. A swipe of my finger left a bright streak in the thick dust that had accumulated over what must have been weeks of inactivity. It had obviously been a happening thread at one time - 88 upvotes was well above average, even today. I couldn't blame Krupo, of course - the post was over three years old, ancient by Sift standards, and besides, ol' Krupie had a channel to run.
Some might be depressed by the finality of it all - a grim reminder that, no matter how brightly we shine in our heyday, we are all destined to fade into obscurity. (Dust to dust, after all.)
I looked at it differently. It was peaceful here. Freed from the hectic bustle of the front page and unflinching eye of the Top 15, one has a chance to sit back and take it all in. There was no pressure to post some pithy observation about the video or the conversation it fostered. There was no risk of having your witty retort beaten to the punch by a faster (or punctuation-averse) Sifter. Heck, there was little risk that a new post would ever be read at all.
And not only peaceful, but hopeful.
I had found it, hadn't I? And not just me.
Here and there, bathed in the amber glow of the evening sun that filtered through the listlessly-floating motes, were signs that some kindly stranger had done what he could to keep the place from falling into complete disrepair.
Or perhaps, not so kindly after all...
It was strange, but as I took the time to inspect the repairs that rasch had made those many months ago, I began to realize that what was usually a benevolent act was here tinged with animosity. Crescent-shaped dents around a driven nail suggested careless, or perhaps even angry, strikes. Gouges in the head of a bolt, the stripped slots of a screw, paint that didn't quite stay inside the lines, it all spoke to a generous act undertaken with a fair degree of resentment.
I could tell now that rasch hadn't particularly liked this place. But why, then, would he have spent the time to fix it up? Was it a sense of duty to the Sift? A debt owed to Krupo? Or perhaps he just did it for the Power Point? Perhaps I would get a chance to ask him one day, or perhaps I would never know.
Not that it really mattered either way. It was an old story in an even older thread, and who knew if I might be the last Sifter to disturb its well-earned rest. As I approached the door to leave, I cast one glance at the still-crisp video that flickered in the corner and gave it a chuckle, then pressed out into the rapidly darkening night. The lights of the Top 15 beckoned in the distance - hell, maybe I could do with some excitement after all.

So... is he saying police shouldn't keep up with modern technology? I for one am glad that police are equipped with body armor - that way if a criminal shoots at them there is less chance of the police officer dying and a greater chance of the officer stopping the criminal from killing other people.

The same goes for better equipment to use against criminals. For one thing, most of the items he is showing are being used for SWAT or other counter-terrorism/hostage rescue teams. You don't see any officers dressed like that walking the streets as a beat cop. Complete strawman.

Also, he criticizes police forces for getting things like LRAD and Active Denial Systems. Considering these are "Less that Lethal" devices that are meant to be used instead of weapons that kill people I'm very glad police forces are investing in these. I'm not quite sure if this guy just didn't do his research or if he is just trying to scare people. His use of WACO makes me think the latter.

Then he asks, while showing a 'random checkpoint' and 'national I.D. cards' if "this is the type of country you want your kids to grow up in?" Well, I don't know about the US, but up here in Canada we already have "random checkpoints" pretty much every weekend to make sure people aren't driving drunk. We also have checkpoints at borders and sometimes if there is an Amber Alert, or for myriad other reasons. These seem perfectly reasonable. We also have drivers licences, passports and other government ID cards. OH NOES POLICE STATE!!1

Police need to adapt to deal with ever adapting criminals. Barney Fife would die in a gutter while a well-equipped, properly trained officer gets the job done.
