I'm sure these kids could easily differentiate between Cheetos and Doritos, Skittles and M&Ms or Coke and Sprite. It's disturbing to see the kinds of foods that are marketed to kids these days, and even more disturbing to see parents fall prey to this marketing. There should be some kind of a public service effort (like the successful campaign against smoking) to teach parents the importance of encouraging good eating habits - keep all that junk food out of the house. It could save a lot of people a lot of grief from obesity, heart disease and other maladies in the long run.

I'm not sure why it would be the fault of public schools that these kids don't know what a vegetable is. Are parents no longer accountable for anything? A teacher can only do so much, you can't expect them to also be a parent.

I'd upvote this if it weren't for the goofy politicized title. Don't get so caught up in the horse race that it obscures the bigger picture.

Pasted below are Roman's responses to our Roast Quiz. The RoastMASTER's commentary appears in parentheses.

My real name is Roman Novak. I'm from Europe, Slovenia (we don't know what cheetos are), but I'll try to answer your stupid questions as best as I can.

1.What do you, do most of the day when you are not lounging, but not on the computer?
Roman: Mostly I do nothing or as little as possible. I watch tv shows, movies, read books and smoke weed. When I become bored of that I go outside and get drunk at a pub. In the summertime I ride mountain bikes. I don't like winter or winter sports much

2.Who are you more fond of?
A..Mother
B.McDonalds
C.Beer
D.Technical Assistance
E. Dairy Products
F.All of the above
G.None (kill them all)
Roman: Kill'em all, leave the beer.

3. How many pairs of shoes as opposed to matching undergarments.... boxers or briefs
Roman: weird question. (editor: no shit, what were you thinking Choggie?) I'd say 1 shoe for 10 underpants. there

4.mac or pc?
Roman: pc. or at least hackintosh

5. Who’s your guru?
Roman: I don't have guru's, but there are a few people I love and would buy beer for them. mostly writers I like, movie directors, scientists and people who make me laugh.

6.Bush or No Bush?
Roman: I don't care

7.sprinkles, gravy, or cherry on top?
Roman: gravy ( Ass gravy, of course)

8.tits, ass, or legs.
Roman: face first, gotta be cute. tits are not a priority, but a fine ass is a must. also, i hate fankles

9.supine or prostrate?
Roman: i sleep on my back if that's what u mean (It’s not, but whatever. You have to cut the guy a little slack for his ESL handicap)

10. cat, dog or other
Roman: dog, i guess. not really a pet person

11. Car, bike, public transit, walking or motorcycle?
Roman: bike first, then car (I don't own one for past 3-4 years now)

12.time, newsweek or USNews and World Report?
Roman: i get my news from Stephen Colbert (like every good Videosifter)

13.beer preference?
Roman: Laško (slovenian), Heineken

14.Religion: Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Atheist,Agnostic,Jedi?
Roman: no religion (Again, like everybody here at Videosift)

15.Ever arrested?
Roman: not actually arrested, I was charged a couple of times, most were drug related, couple of fights, and theft once - which I was innocent of and proved it in court, too. (I guess the definition of “arrested” is different in Slovenia than in North America)

16.cheetos: crunchy or puffs?
Roman: crunchy

17.dog or cat person?
Roman: look at 10 (holy double post, batman!)

18.bangs, balding or rug?
Roman: bangs

19.five most cherished possessions
Roman: possesions ... my bike, i guess. my computer. I'm not really attached to material things (+ I don't have many so it's kinda meaningless question for me) and mementos don't do much for me either. every few years I throw ever4ything away and start over

20.clean shaven, beard, goatee or moustache
Roman: beard (it only tickles for a little while)

21. Desert Island albums?
Roman: hard to decide. something jazzy, definetly (sic)

22. Pro gay marriage, or agin?
Roman: do whatever the fuck you want, is my motto. just don't piss on other people

23. Communicable diseases... be honest
Roman: never ever. besides, I hardly have sex any more except with myself (no wonder he fits in so well here, plus he gives amazing backrubs)

I suspect that this is *viral advertising for Cheetos. Still neat, though.

Your Conan Cheetos video was a dupe, I'm afraid.

This is complete...uh...totally...

Hey, thanks for the promote man!

I hate cheetos. Seriously, cheese? wtf

He's no George Carlin, but you gotta give mad comedy props to anyone who can do three minutes of Cheetos jokes!

"EIA is something that should never have been attempted in the first place. Extraordinarily stupid. "

I take offense at that, the channel having been my baby gwiz665, and it's obvious on this poll so far, that you are in the minority. You give me enough time back and I'll reveal some more "Extraordinarily stupid" aspects of perception, thought and action. (Someone needs to check their own EIA meter)



Here's the original intent from the originator if anyone gives a fiddler's fork-EIA was created because way back when, there was a need for a Darwin Award channel-TRULY LIFE-AND-PROGENY DESTROYING ACTS like many other channels, it has become diluted with all manner of crapola. Simply redefine the parameters of the content that satisfies the spirit of the channel, and carry the fuck on.

At first I thought fail vids would be covered JUST as well in EIA, but since the popularity of "FailBlog" and the expression turned meme(no doubt with some help from Blankfist), it too has a unique place for all manner of vids that are not simply dumb ass, survival-skill challenged, fleshbots.

"How 'bout "Leave my motherfucking channel on the motherfucking plane, PLEASE??!!"

...motherfucking polls....*grumble grumble ....cut-rate, douchebag, sitting in their underwear, cheeto-stained finger sumbitches... ....*grumble grumble

1984: People use record players to play Prince records backwards; hear satan.
2009: Cheeto eating fools use freeware to play Obama clips backwards; hear satan and grandma.

Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin........ need I say more??

It's true that we play "tongue tacos" as you so eloquently put it. Unfortunately I do not ALWAYS side with her. I will, however, always side with her Anti-Semitic views when they concern you.

So.... I will be needing a map to the place where you keep your Jew gold, sugar tits.

my schizophrenic german immigrant family always told me jews were responsible for bad weather.
iv and i found ourselves unemployed and childless on the first friday night in probably 8 years. we just tried to see george clinton and parliament funkadelic at an outdoor jazz festival. it was cancelled due to seriously inclement weather. so then we decided wed go see inglorious basterds because moms NEVER get to go to movies, it rained so hard i couldnt even see where i was driving. we were 10 minutes late and the power was out.
thanks you fucking jerk.
who knows when we will ever have these opportunities again.
and since we had nothing else to do we sat on my front porch and chain smoked in the rain for HOURS. thanks for giving us pneumonia.
