And the ones I couldn't sift:

Betty White Digital Short.

Dotty O'Donoguey is 90 years old.

MacGruber's Grandmother.

Lawrence Welk Show parody.

Bronx Beat.

Gingey.

And, although it doesn't have Betty in it, the Debbie Downer skit was pretty good, too, as was the Weekend Update.

I have very mixed feelings about it.

First of all, I do not intend to criticize the OP(s) for being "members" of alcor.

It is a VERY cool idea and I would do it in a HEARTBEAT if I was a bit more confident in their science.

The way I understand it is that yes, there are organisms that can survive being frozen and then reanimated in either simple or complex ways. That said, I do not believe that human beings are built to make this probable.

The questions are ones of time, money, and science. Science right now CANNOT do this. The methods by which Alcor (and the other place) are "preserving" bodies has not been proven to encourage a non-existent procedure of reanimation.

This technology will not be available for a LONG time, if ever. I don't believe it is impossible, but I believe it is the sort of thing which would come FAR in advance of where our medical science is now. I believe that the science involved would have to not only have to unfreeze but reverse certain aspects of decomposition that happen WAY too fast for this to be possible. Unless you are being frozen almost instantly while still alive, which I do not believe is legal since it would be tantamount to euthanasia. So in my mind, we are talking about advanced techniques of cell manipulation and reconstruction which don't remotely exist. This brings me to

Will Alcor still exist in 300-1000 years? What provisions are being made for this?

I hate to say it, but I think the partial answer lies in Alcor's profits. I doubt they would ever release their financial statements, but you can probably tell a LOT by what their financial situation is.

If Alcor is actually legit, and not just to separate the future-minded person with expendable income from their money, they won't exist for long. The money involved in keeping these bodies in suspended animation for hundreds of years will not allow them to stay in business forever and eventually the plug will be pulled on these tubes and that will be that.

That's the best case scenario.

The worse case scenario is that this is a scam. They probably know damned well that they are banking on solutions that don't (and probably won't) exist in their own lifetimes. Therefore they charge money to people who like the idea, enjoy their Ferraris and dump the bodies in about 50 years when there are no living relatives so the inheritors of Alcor can continue the business. Another clue: their staff is volunteer based with little to no medical background... yeah.

I know I'm being a bit pessimistic, but it is very much akin to UFOs... there are lots of people that believe in UFOs and there are lots of people who make product for those who believe in UFOs. Some of them also believe in UFOs, but I suspect a vast majority see a market that is booming and money to be made. Whenever someone is trying to sell you something, you know that they know it is bullshit.

It is like all the 2012 hysteria. Why am I seeing commercials for SUVs and McDonald's tie-ins for a movie about the end of the world? Why do we have major corporations sponsoring shows on the Discovery channel "analyzing" the Mayan predictions about the last few years we have left? Money... it's always about selling me something.

But seriously, I really don't mean to be a debbie downer about this, but it is just a flash in the pan. I just really hope that you aren't spending money that could be better spent elsewhere.

Finally, I REALLY question the idea of preserving just the head. All I can think of is this scene:

i dunno man, I'm voting it up because you like it IK....Harry never had much of a voice, EC's lilt just runs together on every song he performs, but he does revive some obscure trad jazz tunes-the lyric, "Passing fad" inna duet with Debby Harry....that's just mean!

Here are a few I just submitted to add to this playlist!

Go to mtv.com or in Canada, mtv.ca and search "blondie call me"

Debbie Harry was better looking even in late 70's fashions, sang better stoned out of her gourd, and had more talent in a strand of her bleached hair than this person will ever experience.


This being said... Debbie, and her voice, haven't aged well.

as I understand things, Debbie Harry asked them to release this after hearing them cover it.

would like to see Debbie Does Dallas done like this

nice post debbie downer

I was in second grade. My friend Sonia and I were on the bus heading to school. She and I were drawing a stick figure family in the condensation on the window. When we pulled up to the school, I erased it with my sleeve. The bus driver saw me wiping something off the window and starts screaming at me how I was writing swear words. Sonia and I looked at each other, confused. I said, "We were just drawing stick figures."

I shouldn't have said anything because the bus driver started frothing at the mouth, literally. She got spittle all over my face when she told me to get my butt to the principal right now. She wrenched my arm and dragged me off the bus. My feet didn't even touch the steps down.

Debbie Versch was the assistant principal and when she heard I was accused of writing swear words on a bus window, she called my father. Didn't even ask me if it was true. Didn't even consult Sonia. She just immediately called my father and asked if she could paddle me. He said yes.

So she tries to get me to turn around and place my hands on the arm of a chair. I flat out told her no. I didn't do anything wrong. She says how can I prove that. I say prove that I did it! She started getting red in the face. How dare a second grader talk to her like that, I guess..

She grabs me by the arm. The arm the bus driver grabbed. I would find bruises all over my upper arm at home. She starts paddling the crap out of my upper legs. I am now furious, at this point. I turn around in a rage and grab the paddle out of her hands. I throw it in her waste basket so hard it spills over. I turn to her and say, "FUCK YOU. I didn't do any FUCKING THING WRONG." I kick her in the shin and I run out the door, out the front of the school and, because I only lived two streets away--which makes me wonder why I had to ride a bus to school anyway--I run home.

Now, the best part of this story happens years later. My mother and I do a lot of volunteer work with Rotary. Debbie Versch and my mother and I happened to be on the same committee for planning events with a local guardian's home for children. Debbie remembers me and studiously avoids me. After a few weeks of this, I go up to her. "You know, I never did write any swear words on that bus window. You paddled me for no reason. Funny how you claim to care so much about children when you were so eager to beat them." She at least had the courtesy to blush and mumble a mostly incoherent apology. Lame revenge, some would say, but it sure made me feel better about it.

ugh, that's sickening what they do to the ears there. dogs can be your pets, but they are not yours to sculpt, fashion or alter physically as you see fit, disregarding the suffering they might endure because of it. this ain't right at all.. unnatural and unnecessary. it's a beautiful dog already. sorry to be a debbie downer about this otherwise hilarious video.


No, what's sickening is that we cannot dock our own progeny. I'm currently raising an attack child and it fucking pisses me off to no end that I cannot continue its docking procedure. I thought this was America. 28th amendment anyone? I have this huge list of things that I think should be legal.

>> ^conan:
Sorry but this isn't a "banned ad". It isn't an official Sprite ad. You can easily tell by the usage of the wrong claim. Original german Sprite claim is "Folge Deinem Durst", this vid uses "Befolge Deinen Durst". The meaning of the two is somewhat similar, but you wouldn't use the verb "befolgen". "Befolge Deinen Durst" is pretty much what you would get when a software translates "obey your thirst". Like i said: Meaning is similar, but no one would use it.



Way to spoil the fun, Debbie Downer...
