Tom Cruise lights up M.I. crew for breaking Covid rules

Unexpected

Payback says...

You can see the tow truck was parked a hundred feet away when the camera follows the skater. I'm thinking someone bought a flood damaged car from one of those Texas dealerships that got flooded out and let it roll over the edge. The tow truck was there because they sold it to them as parts "after the movie shoot".

Then again, I have an overactive imagination.

The overactive camera movement, trying to capture the reactions and results, is always a give-away on these, as if everything else in this skit didn't give it away. The only thing missing is the paid extra, screaming directly into the camera, "Blimey, call 999!"

We all know she's a porn performer, right?
That explains all the overacting and "OMGs!"

I agree with what you're saying, but i think you're saying it very matter of factly which might put some people off. But talking objectively about the average capacity of human beings, males are physically stronger and that's simply down to what our bodies were adapted for during the evolution of our species. It's the same for other species (though not necessarily male/female as us).

This video probably has a good point, but they way they perform and/or present the experiment makes it worthless.

Any person stood in front of thousands of pounds worth of camera equipment, on a stage, is going to throw differently to how they normally throw when asked to throw "like" someone they are not; the person will perform for the cameras. Then the director emphasises the word "girl" in the way i think she does in the first instance and the person thinks "oh, this person means badly, delicately" and does as requested. We do not get to hear the tone of voice she uses for all of the different people as the video is heavily edited and cut - the cynic in me says for good reason.

But a young girl stands intimidated in front of all of the cameras feeling absolutely no obligation to perform out of character, being told "don't worry, we're just going to ask you to do a few things for the camera", is asked to "run like a girl" with no emphasis, the kid thinks "well i'm a girl, i run like this." There is a natural bias to the results because of this. I may as well ask a bunch of people to bark like a dog, then get a dog to bark; you are asking someone to do something unnatural to themselves, and so you can expect them to overact to try and fit the bill, they will do a charade.

"Run like a girl" and "throw like a girl" are very commonly used phrases in english that i've only heard used sarcastically. So i have a further question; how many young girls are familiar with those phrases compared to how many young boys/adults are familiar with those phrases? Because i think that those phrases are used less to and around young girls than they are to young boys. So again the way the question is asked adds a bias to the results; the girl might not have registered the phrase where the boy knew it had an implied meaning. In fact, the clip of him later confirms that he didn't even associate the "girl" he was pretending to be with his sister. In other words she probably doesn't throw like that and he knows it, he was just play acting to her request.

Although I do think that women's rights still have a bit of a long way to go, this particular video is kinda bullshitty...

They refer to physical activities ("run like a girl", "throw like a girl", "fight like a girl", etc), and also about the moment when those expressions change meaning.

It usually changes meaning when boys develop during puberty, and become faster and stronger than girls. It is an insult, but it's not exactly a lie... women, are for the most part, slower and weaker physically speaking.

"Why can't run like a girl also mean win the race?". It can, if you're running against other girls, but the fastest girl would not be able to run faster than the fastest boy. Period. It's not a matter of equality or justice. It's a matter of biology. There is a reason why there are gender based competitions. Because it wouldn't be fair to put female athletes against male athletes (in most sports. there are a couple of exceptions obviously). That's also the reason why women's sports are usually not as relevant.

Women's rights activists need to focus more on social issues and less on biology. Unless they're thinking about tampering with genetics, men and women will always have differences, and there's little that can be done about that.

Russell Brand Interviewed By A Very Excited Fan

CreamK says...

I've worked with disabled children and i know exactly how you feel. It takes a lot of effort and the main thing is to know them as a person. Us non-disabled beings, we have a complex set of rules and customs, we can pick up personal traits in seconds, sometimes milliseconds and a lot of it involved body language, subtle little nuances in the speech patterns. Interacting disabled, that layer is affected. In the end, when you have established a connection, when you know what they think, how they, needs, wants, dreams etc. the interaction is exactly like it is with anyone else.

Even after working with this children successfully and actually loving them to bits (my departure from that field was heart breaking, i still get tears in my eyes) it's still a hurdle each time i meet a new person who has disabilities. But don't worry, they have this interaction as a default, it's the same with everyone they meet. Disabled have gotten used to it and know that if you hangs out long enough to know them as a person, it's worth the effort. Some act that they don't have that hurdle at all when they feel it, overact and try to show empathy which is even worse as it turn into patronizing very fast. Just be natural, if you're shy, you're shy. If you're reserved, you are reserved. One trait was very common with all kids i had the chance of knowing: they see your emotional state like you see colors so don't try to act or pretend. Just be yourself.

That really brought a smile to my face. I personally don't know how to act around people I meet in every day life, so interactions with disabled people have always been extra difficult. I do my honest best to be a kind person to everyone, but I fail miserably in that (phobias and avoidance, nothing mean, ever). I dig Russell Brand for his insane dip into celebrity and then the rationalization and intelligence to come out the other side seeing things as they really are for everyday individuals (politically, etc).
This video just makes my day because he's so wonderful to this girl, and she makes my day for pursuing her goals so honestly (or deceptively, in terms of affection).

Pretty sure she was supposed to be overacting so it was done well. I think it's too long though, that's not her fault it's just written that way to DRIVE the message into you.

It's been a while but this one feels a bit fake. Feels like he's overacting and she's playing the straight guy.


I was thinking the same until I realized it's Russia - anything's possible.
