Heckler demands the mic. Gets it. Gets schooled.

Well, it sounds like the comedian had been making fun of him a bit before that. But, it doesn't matter because once this guy started spouting his petty judgements it was all over. "Costa Rica jacket", "long surfer hair", "at least I have a job". What a drunk, elitist, dick.

Islam: A black hole of progress.

bamdrew says...

BOOSH! ... you just got rembar'ed


>> ^rembar:

There are a few good comments here with a bunch of crap floating around them. Having just watched the video and browsed the article, I am going to boot this the fuck out of Science for shittiness.
As no-really pointed out, looking at the scientific output for nations where Islam is the state religion does not say much about the scientific output of Muslims in general. If we looked at the output for nations where some form of Christianity is the state religion, what do you think you'd see?
England + Costa Rica + Liechtenstein + Malta + Monaco + Vatican City + Cyprus + Greece + Finland + Denmark + Iceland + Norway + Tuvalu = England + meh.
England is the only real heavy hitter in there.

At very best, a reasonable argument could be made that there is a correlation between low scientific output of nations with state religions, but I'll eat a dick or two if you can dig through the confounding factors to make a solid case for that.
Point being, this video sucks, the article linked sucked too, and don't make broad generalizations about Islam and science without being able to back it up with scientific proof.
Fuck this, I'm out.

3 Reasons to Legalize Pot Now!

poolcleaner says...

Alcohol, which is legal, makes me easily agitated and quick to initiate violence. Marijuana, which is illegal, makes me introspective, creative, hungry, and empathetic to those around me. Though I guess some of that depends on the strain, I've never once had anything negative happen to me other than getting a citation from a cop to go to court and attend a drug awareness class at a community college in Costa Mesa, CA -- where, oddly enough, the ex-cop teaching the class told us it didn't matter if we smoke it as long as we're behind closed doors on our own private property and not visible to pedestrians outside the enclosure. Obviously it DOES matter, but the sentiment of the ex-cop represents the "spirit" of most law enforcement (in California) towards the average user. Needless to say, the community college parking lot smelled delicious. Drug awareness, fah!

Limbaugh Vows to Flee the Country If Health Care Passes

Shepppard says...

Thank god he said Costa Rica..

If he said Canada, I'd have to start building a giant wall all along the Canadian border for the sole reason of keeping this man out, maybe a human fence, like one of those hand in hand protest things.

The indie rock band Modest Mouse is getting the royal treatment from Bent Image Lab’s new director/partner Nando Costa. Just completed, the band’s new music video is a dark and expressive piece of film-making. Heavily rooted in live-action, the impressive six-minute video includes intense moments of stop motion, visual effects, and motion graphics techniques, all brought to life within the studio’s walls.

The visuals follow an artist who enters his personal sanctuary where he is presented with a hand-crafted drawing tool that assists him in materializing his mental impressions. Through drawing circular patterns, the machine discharges an endless web of yarn that guides him through his visual representations of his memories. The story progresses to reveal that he is divided between two worlds, one of dull reality and the second of warped memories. In the process of finding a way out of his consciousness, he is trapped between the two competing spaces, which eventually inflict lethal damage, acting as metaphors to self-destruction.

This lyrical and moving piece was conceived by Nando Costa working closely with lead singer/guitarist Isaac Brock to polish some of the film's intricacies. Featuring a seamless combination of live-action and stop motion that alternates between stage shots of Modest Mouse and a spiraling dream-like world of ever-shifting landscapes, Whale Song is a stunning representation of the combined capabilities of Nando and Bent. The variety and execution of the VFX portions of the video – from yarn reeling into complex patterns to a guitar that plays with no musician attached – strongly evoke the confused and surreal patterns of one's warped memories. Additional creative touches such as animated and intricate photographic collages and giant CG snails sliding across the band's stage – add variety and depth to the surreal world.
