@Harzzach There is a glut of opinion wherever one looks these days that masquerades as "news" CNN is not an exception to this. It's important to make the distinction.

Reporting is what it sounds like. One records things. They create a record of things that happened, perhaps fact correcting and claim verification also.

Commenting is "here's a short short short version of what happened, let me tell you MY take on it for the rest of this hour"


CNN stands for Cable News Network, but this is opinion/ COMMENTARY,
Not-news.

Short Shorts

Another Great Song of The 60s, my High School Years here in AUSTRALIA. SIMPLICITY of "beat" and able to sing along and simple jive at the the disco clubs so prevalent here in the 60s.
WOW ! The girl in the video, Gorgeous, and those simple gyrations just blow me away. Amazing that the " short shorts" are the "In item " for the girls in Summer. My kids now their 20s - 30s LOVE the 60s Music. Whoever the girl is: Liz Derringer , take a bow
Best regards

@pumpkinandstorm you always find the most interesting videos.

It's such a weird look into their culture when looking from the outside. Everyone with a camera it seems, the mens wearing funny looking hats and short shorts, tight ones too, the absolute nonchalance about people street performing and the fun people have in watching. I imagine of course they've cut out all the photo bombs we come to expect from something out of the US, but it's still pretty interesting to watch.

Not to mention, holy hell that's a lot of practice to get it that perfect. Their timing, to my untrained eye, seemed perfect and totally mesmerizing.

But is this a viral commercial for the olympics? Trying to one up Marry Poppin's and the attack of Lincoln look-alikes?

Yeah I get annoyed by this and I'm gonna call you out on it especially since we had a major former NFL star in Junior Seau die from playing Football. Rugby is a very tough sport, made for very tough men, but they're not tougher than NFL football players because they don't wear pads. Players wearing pads hit eachother with a much greater velocity than Rugby players normally hit themselves...and they hit eachother in the head which is causing deaths.

I think you can make a similar comparison to boxing and bare knuckle fighting. In over 100 years of bare knuckle fighting no one has died from it, but an average of 4 people die from boxing related injuries in the US alone. The reason is because when you fight bare knuckle you don't go for the head as much...it hurts. In boxing you basically trade blows to the head for rounds and rounds severely damaging a brain.

So no, rugby players are not tougher than NFL players...or even soccer players. We should all do well to remember that we have similar DNA and sports with differing sets of challenges. I would say the toughest athletes in the world are ultra-marathon runners. Because nothing is more suggestive than the voice in your head telling you to stop.

So skinny little runners in short shorts that run over 100 miles in 120 degree temperatures are tougher than all of you. Have a nice day.

but i have to read them either way?

Who wear short shorts?
Those are pretty perky boobs
Is she wearing a tie?
Maybe it's a medical condition and she can't button up her shirt?
I wonder which part of her job does she take more seriously, a weather reporter or an eye candy?
Does the carpet match the drapes?

I picked all the bad ones, so you are forced to use only good ones.

That would be the shotgun blast of obligatory one-liners for that vid?

This video is to Short Short to even be funny! - Just sayin'

The appeal of the Wiley Coyote shorts is the desire to actually see him NAIL that smarmy little blue git. If he actually ever accomplished this objective, the appeal would rapidly dissappate. So the whole Wiley/Roadrunner dynamic is one gigantic $%&@tease, essentially. We watch hoping he will succeed, yet knowing that he never will.

This was a short short, but one of the few worthy Loony Toon entries in the last 20+ years. "Space Jam" sucked so hard that it created a singularity. "Back in Action" was only slightly less sucky. It's long overdue for the Toons to get back to their roots, and this nails it.

Note to the WB. Stop trying to make feature-length & 30 minute shows out of characters & concepts that are built for 4-10 minute comedy blitzes. It doesn't work. It never will.

Dan Secrest - The reason why there is a gap in these "triangles" is actually related to fibonacci's sequence. But I wont go there. The easy solution is simply because those are not triangles. Each has 4 sides. The red triangle has a different slope than the green. The red triangle has slope 3/8 while the green has 2/5. Therefore, in the upper "triangle" there is increasing slope along the hypoteneus and in the lower there is decreasing. The short short answer is that the areas of both triangles are EXACTLY the same, but the lower triangle has a gap to make up for the different slope it has on the hypoteneus. If anything, these resemble non-euclidean triangles because there angles add up to over 180 degrees.>> ^dannym3141:

Notice how easily the pieces slip into place in the first layout compared to how he has to force them into place on the second layout.

ok, how about the beach. some weirdo is filming your wife's crotch at the beach. I don't care how hard you try to defend it, she doesn't want her crotch filmed, she's not there to get her crotch filmed and it's rude
or to keep things simple what if that was your daughter doing the photo shoot and you were standing there. I really bet you would see that guy filming and think "yup, that's fine with me"

Actually, all the people defending the cameramen are hypocrites for different reasons. I guarantee that if some asshat started trying to film up your girlfriend's/wife's/daughter's dress you would not be defending his right to do so.
The argument of "well if she's going to wear that in public she deserves it" falls apart pretty quick when it turns personal. The people offended in this video are just good enough people that they have genuine concern over strangers.
>> ^JiggaJonson:
Everyone one of you shouting "Hear hear," to those calling the guy filming a pervert, are wading around in a pool of hypocrisy.
If you saw this girl stretching out on a street corner in short shorts you know you'd look and "Her artistic abilities as a ballerina," would not be what you were thinking about.
Either it's not ok for him to be filming her crotch in public AND it's not ok for her to be spreading her legs for long periods of time on a street corner in public -=OR=- the opposite is true.


Upskirt is completely different from filming what everyone else in times square can see.



They've just gotta be more covert about it. It only causes harm if somebody realizes they're doing it and gets all distressed about it. If he was filming from 200M away with a telephoto lens I probably wouldn't notice.
