apparently "established" ventriloquist doesn't mean good ventriloquist

Granted, This isn't funny, it's just sad. Like other people have already said, I feel bad for her.

But if she was at all experienced, I would think she would do a better job even if she was rushed into this and be able to think on her feet a little better. At the very least, I would think she would have done a better job of hiding her lips moving and doing a voice that at least TRIED to sound different from her normal voice.

This doesn't seem like an instance of someone merely choking on stage. This seems more like a situation where someone thought doing a ventriloquist act would be super easy and just didn't think it through

Alright, there's a backstory.

This woman, an established ventriloquist (if you can believe it) used to crass material was given 30 minutes to prepare for a school crowd. Out of her element, she bombed. The video was posted. Picked up by the show Tosh.0. After which she got a chance for "Web Redemption", which you can check here:

*promote the Black government and the Black president with black white people's hands up his ass like some fucking ventriloquist dummy...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Really great. Definitely my favourite ventriloquist.

Propaganda Analysis

There are two parts to this story. The first part is a compelling tale of a small surgery center that found a way to drastically cut costs by avoiding insurance company price gouging and bureaucracy. This part of the story is great. These Oklahoma doctors have come up with a seemingly great model.

The second part of the story is The Reason Foundation's editorial opinion that Obamacare is to blame for all of this, and that if only it would be repealed, people and business owners would make rational health care decisions that would save us all lots of money.

The problem is that the Koch’s are trying to give the impression that the doctors in the first part of the story are making the editorial points of the second. The Koch's are basically using these doctors as ventriloquist dummies. At no point do any of these doctors single out or even mention Obamacare as the source of these problems. The title should be "Koch Bros. vs. Obamacare", or at least "The Reason Foundation vs. Obamacare."

Obamacare did not create insurance industry price gouging, nor was it intended to be an insurance industry reform bill. The purpose of Obamacare is to provide universal healthcare. Insurance industry price gouging has existed since the dawn of the insurance industry and will likely die with it.

As further evidence that the folks at Reason are shameless, opportunistic hypocrites, check out this story on Reason.com in which they make a complete 180 and ACTUALLY DEFEND PRICE GOUGING in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Notice how they use the same ventriloquist dummy technique of trying to force their editorial position on a regular work-a-day cab driver. Ridiculously, the cab driver who ‘Makes a Case for Price Gouging’ in the title of this piece is actually quoted as saying, “No, there should be a law to prevent that (price gouging)” in the actual story. Journalism doesn’t get much more dishonest than that.

Take out the ventriloquist dummy editorializing and this could be a great piece in favor of insurance reform, or adding cost saving safeguards to Obamacare. But it isn’t.

This brand of faux populist, faux leftist propaganda is what the Reason Foundation specializes in, and considering the implications of the recent election, I expect more right wing media outlets to adopt the this approach.

I almost thought he was the most talented ventriloquist ever!

His lips barely moved at all while she talked.

Best ventriloquist act EVAR!

Saw this on Liveleak, some of the descriptions there cracked me up like:
Joe Piscopo from an old SNL sketch
Chucky's dad
Smiling Bob, the Enzyte guy
Pat Boone-ski
undead
Disney-animatronic
one of the Thunderbird puppets.
Mr. Bean
funky cymbal banging monkey hairdo
"I'm not only the Soviet Hair Club for Men commissar, I'm also a client."
After the single LaLaloW failed in the charts he went back to designing ventriloquist dummies based on his own likeness
and my favorite, He obviously forgot the lyrics but I have to give him props for faking it all the way through........

The vids are from different cities at different times. Although a lot of the same material was used it seems different enough to not be duped. She really is a ventriloquist master. Here's her from Australia...

Different show but same act as http://www.videosift.com/video/Funny-and-Hot-Ventriloquist
