I hate supposed "comedy" that revels in attacking the defenseless. I suppose that you could post videos of people beating up homeless guys, or making mentally handicapped people eat their own snot, or assholes knocking people over in wheelchairs and it would get eleven votes.

WTF?? Rickegee you are kidding right? There is simply no comparison here. Beating up homeless people and playing a harmless prank on a child are miles apart. Not to mentioned your clear social bias. WHo made you heir to the throne your majesty? And assuming that he is a racist is really reaching.

take a pill, rickegee. the kid's not traumatized. it's soda squirting all over him, for god sake. boo-fuckin-hoo. if he was in another country in our world today, it'd be a IED he was picking up off the ground.
i have nieces and nephews that are being coddled in the way rottenseed describes and that's more terrifying to me. of course you shouldn't bully or exploit kids, but they're being raised like the littlest scare or trauma will scar them for life and it makes them unable to handle anything confrontational. flash forward ten years and not only can they NOT handle anything emotionally, they turn into those MTV "My Sweet Sixteen" trust fund fucks that demand the world service them.
Sure, it's kind of a jerky prank for the dad to do, but i think it's funny as hell and it's the sort of thing doofy dads do.

Hey rickegee, I just tried to post 'Roadrunner' as my first submission. Oh well, it's a great song and you have good taste.

Farhad saved this one, which is good because it's important and it was SO close.

In reply to this comment by rickegee:
All good points, but current agricultural subsidy policies tend to reward pure size and overproduction rather than environmentally sustainable practices, particularly in the cotton and sugar industries. And there is no question in my mind that both EU and American intransigence on this issue chokes African and 3d world agrarian development by supersizing them out of the market

Great comment Farhad. My concern with stopping subsides is that the American "Bread basket" would whither to the point where we could no longer be self-sufficient if need be. The old adage of "every civilization is three meals from a revolution" may be true, but I don't have any gauge on whether or not we could be self-sufficient without subsidies. Or for that matter how much food we import, which I imagine would be a fairly small amount.


On the other hand, maybe self-sufficiency isn't that important, that we should need our our global neighbor's food.

For a look at how gross farm subsidies actually are, see rickegee's discarded vid:

Rickegee posted an interesting comment in a farm-subsidy video about how they (the subsidies) function to keep developing agriculture down. Can't find it now. This Gabre-Madhin is a beautiful woman. She's not bad looking either.

The guideline's meant more for not posting entire TV series... oh, and sorry rickegee, but I'm going to *discard to do a deadpool fix

rickegee - great pick.
i searched to potentially sift it myself, but only the sheer obviousness of its glory, kept me from filing it under my "damn you" list as well.

this one's *dead, but i found a (kinda' crappy looking) replacement:

Like everything that I do, it is mostly the truth. I was fortunate enough to spend a summer dancing and drinking in Krakow in 2001. The marching bands and singing children were wonderfully real, but thankfully, the harsh Danish martial law stayed away.

Your bio story intrigues me. Fiction or some kind of real account?

Thank you very much. This was one of those videos I really liked and didn't understand why it wasn't loved more.
