Three things:
a) Yeah, a lip synced 'show' is hardly 'livemusic', so I don't think it fits there... and it makes me sad that people are fine with watching someone move around and pretend to sing like that
b) Who the fuck cares that she flipped the bird... man the outcry in America when someone does that is so FUCKING SAD. It's just so baffling to see American shows with someone flipping the bird being blurred out. Grow the fuck up
c) The staging of it was pretty sweet.

(I was going to link to a video of Meatloaf performing at our 2011 AFL grand final, because that was actually live and HORRIBLE... but it would seem he's done a good job of having all copies taken down)

But on that note it reminded me of a damn fine ad that ran during last year's AFL grand final... which hadn't been posted here. For shame! Shameless plug for own sift

I could see where this might be true. Both players play very cautiously like a dentist prodding teeth for cavities. But, that may be because of the amount of money on the line. Definitely not the best game I have seen but still immensely entertaining. I actually watched this twice all the way through.




>> ^mentality:

The game was a huge let down, very sloppy play by Nestea. He seemed content to just sit back with maxed supply, barely putting any pressure on MVP. Nestea just sat there, mining out the right half of the map even though he had +10K minerals - all that wasted drone supply could've gone towards a larger army. When he finally decides to move out with his 100+ baneling army, after much indecision, does he drop MVP's mining expansions? - No. Does he drop MVP's production facilities? - No. Does he try to take out MVP's army? No - he does a terribly executed drop in MVP's mined out main, accomplishing NOTHING. And in the end, Nestea decides to make a max army of unsupported broodlords even though he KNOWS that MVP has ghosts and vikings.
This had all the features of a showmatch between two good friends and teammates, which has many people in the community suggesting that the game was fixed. Pretty much the worst game of Blizzcon, and one of the worst tournament finales I've ever seen.

Boston: FBI Thwarts Own R/C Bomb
Another case of FBI entrapment, proving the only terrorism Americans must fear, comes from within the bowels of their own government.
By Tony Cartalucci

The United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) claims to have thwarted their own "drone" bomb, in yet another farcical case of entrapment and fear mongering aimed not at ending the "War on Terror" but perpetuating the mythological, unending conflict. FBI agents apparently strung along another subpar malcontent by providing him with materials, including a model airplane, real C4 explosives, and small arms. Rezwan Ferdaus, 26, was approached by undercover FBI agents and tasked first with building remote detonation devices he was told would be used in Iraq against US troops. FBI agents went as far as falsely telling Ferdaus that one of his devices had killed 3 US troops. The grand finale was assisting Ferdaus in a spectacular, Hollywood-style attack we are told by FBI agents, would have involve simultaneous assaults on both the US Capitol and the Pentagon involving drone bombs and multiple gunmen.

Photo: Your FBI at work - sneaking around the United States, constructing drones made of toy planes like the one above, building bombs, handing out weapons and live explosives to prospective "terrorists" then stopping them "just in time" for sensational headlines to get Americans wringing their hands in fear from what Media Monarchy calls, "terronoia."

According to an AFP report, FBI special agent Richard DesLauriers claimed the sting operation proved ''a committed individual, even one with no direct connections to, or formal training from, an international terrorist organisation, can pose a serious danger to the community.'' DesLauriers fails to explain where, if not from the FBI or other federal agencies, Ferdaus could have acquired C4 explosives for his alleged plot. Additionally, DesLauriers fails to explain how Ferdaus can be considered acting as an "individual" with no "direct connections" to an international terrorist organization, when FBI agents were posing as just that, supplying him with motivation, supplies, explosives, logistics, and weapons.

If convicted, Ferdaus faces 15 years in prison for supporting a foreign terrorist organization and an additional 40 years on other terror related charges. In order to support a foreign terrorist organization, Ferdaus would have to have believed, by necessity, to be in contact with one, again undermining FBI special agent DesLauriers' statement. Ironically, Ferdaus is being arrested, held, and awaiting trial that could see him locked up for most of his life, while the US State Department, Department of Defense, and the White House itself are verifiably supporting foreign terrorist organizations, including the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), listed as #26 on the State Department's own list, as well as Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) in Iran, listed as #28 by the US State Department.

Speak for yourself! I'm hip. I'm with it. Dakadakadakadakadakadaka.

Anybody? Anybody?

I think we'll need to do a bit of bar-hopping pre and post to show Dag what we gots. There's also the option of footy... Fark, I just had a horrible feeling that we had planned it on AFL Grand Final weekend. No worries, that's on Oct 1st. So no footy.

Ah, let's just lean back and enjoy the show.

42.91 million now rely on the SNAP. You went from 26.5 to almost 43 million in less than five years. That's 6! (SIX) million more in the last 12 months alone. I was disgusted when it passed the 30 million mark, but when 40 was breached, my inherent cynicism took over. So now it's fun again.

And what about the FED audit?
It's fucking hilarious if you look at it. TALF, PDCF and whatnot, they made sure the casino could keep on playing. There's no denying that all those capitalists are hardcore socialists when their ass is on the line. Deficit, debt, inflation: irrelevant, big money needs its bailout.
And since all is fine now - except for some collateral damage like mass unemployment, mass foreclosure, explosion of the SNAP, etc -, the deficit matters once again. Woe is us if we don't cut social security.

For the grand finale, you need some Tea Bagger to run the show or a proper socialist. Either is fine by me, as long as it's entertaining. Though I do prefer the latter, just to see Goldman Sachs nationalized and then cut down into manageable pieces.

Or how about a race to the bottom, EU vs USA? You're in the lead now, but once Portugal and Spain go down, we might just have a chance.

Guy wins the ROTAX Kart Grand Finals and then proceeds to embarrass the hell out of himself.

I think the embarrassment commenced when he got into the go-kart...along with his parents' shame and feeling of failure.

"Why couldn't he have just been a serial rapist or a child molester?" his father asked reporters.

That's like some sort of Pot Droid from Star Wars.

It would be called PT-420, would appear in one scene for about 2 seconds in one of the feature films. A comic book would feature it a few more times and it's cult following would truely start. Soon after a paper-back would be written with it as a main character as it hurled it's way fully into the expanded universe. The plot would involve an assasination attempt on yoda by the PT-420, thwarted by yoda's natural ability to consume as much narcotics as exists in the known (Star Wars) universe. "Stoned I am, always. Why talk like this, you think?", they would then befriend each other and take on imperial scum for the grand finale.

...oh my god, did I just make all this up just now? haha.. *puts down device*

oh yeah. I was prompted to post that one by this post:

This made me think of this so much that I had to look it up and post it:

his younger brother Aleksander Pešut – Schatzi is also a musician, a drummer in his band "Magnifico & Turbolentza", and he also produced his 2007 Grand Finale album. Magnifico is played on radio stations across EU. He signed a contract with Sony Music in spring 2004, that helped him promote his music and boosted his popularity in countries such as Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, Greece, Poland, Switzerland, Spain and of course all over former Yugoslavia, but most of all in Italy where he went top 10 with this song - Hir aj kam, hir aj go (fonetic script for "Here I come, Here I go")

I'm also surprised that apparently none of them thought it was kind of gay to be humping the same ottoman simultaneously. During the grand finale they're going for DP and possibly even 3P.

Well guys, I believe this is it. This is the Holy Grail of VideoSift. We've finally found a clip that combines the Simpsons with the Daily Show. I think we should just shut down the site now and go out with this little grand finale.

I don't know, when you're dead you're dead. You only get one grand finale.

I think it would be rad to be eaten by a shark, or die in some similarly insane situation, versus bonked on the head by a coconut or being taken out by some other lame accident.

... yes I did 'knock on wood' after writing that.
