Smells fishy. He puts the blindfold on before his friend even sets everything up. But then again, who would hit one's self in the nuts just for a stupid viral video. Oh wait, I almost forgot, this is the internet.

How did he not see this one coming? If your friend asks you to blindfold yourself you know something's up.

Soto's a radical dummy who for years peeked out the left side of the blindfold of justice, and is now actively hiding who she really is just like the Kenyan does. Latinas would be wise not hold her up as a role model. America deserves better than this.

but does it have a watermark?

what do i guarantee? hmm.
i can safely shoot that card out of your hand with a shotgun, while blindfolded.
and even if i fail? i will also build a crowd.

25 years and he's got a very small popup book to show for it?
are his clients preschoolers?

Eloquent it certainly is not.

Reason being (aside from the obvious typing while blindfolded trick he uses) he's claiming that the joke is fallacious. It isn't, the point being made is completely valid. His inability to laugh is his own shortcoming, not the jokes.

I can walk into any art gallery this very minute, take a picture of any of the many works of art walk out and print out pretty reasonable copies of the work. I'm clearly not committing theft since the original stays where it is.

I love the way he stops walking when he blindfolds himself, in order to make sure the rods connect when he walks over the line!

And i love james randi

I might have bought this if she had a blindfold on. But she could easily have been looking in a mirror.


I would think that had she been playing in a mirror, it would have been MUCH harder. Your natural reactions would be to go backward, which she never does.

Props for her game collection though! And her strange style of holding the controller.

I think I must have grown out of my asian-girl worship. I don't drool over girls like this anymore.

Actually, it was proposed as $825bn, and will probably pass at $880bn or so.

BTW, by Ron Paul's logic, no individual business ever helps the economy either. All of their money comes from "the productive economy", and therefore everything they do comes at the cost of harming the "productive economy", especially if they make a profit, since they're taking in more money from the economy than they spend out.

Never mind that every penny the government collects makes its way back out into the "productive economy" because it gets spent. I suppose Foreign Aid goes to other economies, though a free trader like Paul probably wouldn't think there's a distinction there, either.

For Paul to make any sense, you have to start from the unsupported premise that government always destroys, and business always creates, and never never never the opposite. I wonder if he wears a blindfold when he's on the Interstate, goodness knows he does it every time he uses the Internet.

BTW, stating that interest rates "force people" to do things the "otherwise wouldn't have done" is a bit silly isn't it? He gives the example of "build too many houses" -- that's wrong. This wasn't a problem of real estate companies building too many houses, then failing to find buyers. This was a problem of banks taking on too much risk by giving out too many loans to people who used the loan to build a house.

Lower interest rates are supposed to spur investment, it's up to the investors to be smart with their money. They weren't. Government didn't say "here, take this money and be stupid" they said "borrow money from us to do some of that private sector wealth-creating magic you do" and the private sector built themselves a giant Ponzi scheme with houses, rather than doing something useful.

PS: blankfist, this is not a response to any of the points I've brought up, it's just more hot air from a moron who doesn't realize he's a theological adherent, not an economist.

I will confess to you
Because you made me think about the times
You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over
The vision was a masterpiece of comic timing
But you wouldn't laugh at all
And I wonder what the boy was thinking
The picture was an old collage of something classical
The model with a tragic air
Because without a doubt he'd given up the fight
The ghost of somebody at his side
I will confess to you
Because I didn't think about the message
As I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday
And all my friends deserted me because you painted me
As the fraud I really was
And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad
'Cause Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold
When she knew she had been bad
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress
It was the best sex she ever had
I'll send a dress to you
Because it's needing badly taken in
But I was so embarressed when I missed your party
It was me that paid for it eventually
Because you know how much I wanted
To meet your friend the star of stage and local press
The dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around here
And I'm no different from the rest
I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with
The girl next door who's famous for showing her breasts
You're not impressed by me
But it's a funny way for you to tell me
A whisper in a choir stall
The man was talking about you simultaneously
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
Because I have been sleeping badly lately
I know you were historical from all the books I've read
But I thought you could be bluffing
And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss
It's days and months before I see you again

"Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear."
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787

"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own."

No it's not new, it was the original video Amazing isn't it!

<edit> Ok, I knew it wasn't new,and i'd seen it before but this is why, you're so right, there were definitely no camera phones in '94!

wiki:A music video was produced for Pendulum's remix of "Voodoo People", directed by Ron Scalpello. It is based on a scene from the Spanish movie Intacto, a film themed around luck and games of chance. The video was filmed in Romford Market in London, England.

The video features several people racing blindfolded, with their hands bound. Several members of the band were spectators in the video, while the winner of the race was Sharky, a former member of The Prodigy who left shortly after the band formed.

Tags for this video have been changed from '1926, Blindfolded, Boxing' to '1926, Blindfolded, Boxing, 20s' - edited by swampgirl

>> ^Thylan:
Elephants are Stealth!?


Yup. They have pads on their feet that absorb shock and keep their steps very quiet. An entire herd of elephants could walk past a blindfolded man, and the only way he'd know that there were any animals around would be the aroma of recently deposited elephant dung.
