Could You Eat So Much That Your Stomach Explodes?
Actually, it doesn't burst so much as it ruptures in a small tear. Doctors state you can actually 'feel it go'. The tear doesn't dump all the food, it just releases bacteria into your system which kills you in a few hours if not treated.
The video is correct that it is almost impossible for this to happen in normal situations due to the brain inducing a gag reflex if you continue trying to eat. There are some situations which prevent people from following that reflex.
Bulimia can actually train the body to resist the gag reflex and the constant purging can help a full stomach to tear. Documented cases exist where bulimics have died due to stomach rupture.
People who have been starving for a long period of time can eat more than they can hold. Numerous cases of POW's during WWII, that were presented with large quantities of food after being starved for long periods of time, were indicative of stomach ruptures.
Fortunately if the rupture is caught in time, apparently with emergency surgery and treatment it is not likely to kill you.

On Porn and Other Matters (Sift Talk Post)
Unfortunately, we are not going to resolve the "what is porn?" issue. This article at findlaw ought to be enough to convince even the most perseverant among us that to come to a conclusion about what is or isn't porn is an exercise in extreme futility. While it might be wonderful to think that everyone in the world ought to adopt a laissez les bon temps rouler attitude, that is simply not going to happen.
The argument of advertisers aside, there are other governing factors in this discussion. First, as Dag mentioned, exploitation. It doesn't take very much googling to find out that the drug abuse and suicide rates among porn workers are staggering. There are people literally selling their souls to be involved in this industry. By buying the product and/or propagating it through our various media, we turn a blind eye to the destruction of real people. If the objectification of women in our society is a problem (and many here on the Sift appear to think it is), then porn amplifies that problem to manifold degrees. And Dag has it right, we don't know who is being exploited and who isn't. Why even give the illusion that we support that kind of degradation?
Second,is the impact of porn upon some of the members of this site. Statistically speaking the probability is certain that there are some of our members who struggle with addiction to pornography to one degree or another. Like alcoholism, there are certain people who cannot have just one. It ought to be patently obvious that this is an area in which we have an opportunity to take care of one another rather than to invite each other into further ruin. You don't have to go much farther than the end of your block to find a family that has been negatively impacted or even torn apart by porn.
Allow me to put it this way: If a friend comes to my house and I know he's an alcoholic, I don't serve him booze and I don't break it out in front of him. Why would I hurt someone like that? While I realize that it is ultimately his responsibility whether he drinks or not, I also realize that there are those who have lost the choice to drink and to set a drink in front of them might very well be their demise. So, I give up my rights to alcohol to help the person who needs it. Same with porn. While I might have a right to post it, I also have a right to not post it. What helps more people out?
For those two reasons, among others, I have enjoyed being a part of Videosift and, with a clear conscious, recommending this site to others.
EIT After Dark - CIRCLE JERKIN'!
>> ^blankfist:
Who cares? If you don't want to see a big gray vagina in your face, then don't press play. For me, I'll press play again and again. Oh, don't get it twisted, I don't have a thing for grannies, I'm starting a whole bulimia thing to lose some of the baby fat.
Now there's an idea: change the title "Graphic Vaginal Opening Begins Circle Jerk of Women Degrading Themselves On Tape." The real pornography in this clip isn't the nudity. I think Dag is right. This doesn't belong on the Sift.

Sigur Rós - Heima
Instant upvote for opening with "Glosoli" =D
It amazes me how since I first discovered Sigur Ros, they seem to be everywhere now--kind of like getting a green car and suddenly everyone seems to have a green car.
They've managed to have a measurable influence in media and yet stay relatively anonymous. So often I hear their music in a video and people will ask,"I love that music, who are they???"
So far I've heard "Saeglopur" in both a PSA for anorexia and the new Prince of Persia trailer.
"Hoppipolla" in the Penelope trailer
"Von" and another song in CSI.
And an unkown song in the Dead Space trailer.
Oh, and lets not forget “Staralfur” in The life aquatic.
Looking them up in Wikipedia, it looks like their music has been used dozens more times in movies, commercials, etc. And most people still don't know who they are. Kinda funny.
Chalk fight! (super bizarre Japanese milk ad)
People consume far less dairy in Japan, so bone density issues are more common than they are in America.
Really, though, they should have had girls in the commercial. Anorexia and bulimia are even more of a problem in Japan than bone density. Girls drinking a few glasses of milk more would be very healthy.

Beer bulimia. Who woulda thought? Might not be the *best* approach though.
I'd have to say though it is *nsfw.
