Um, this was lame.
This isn't the FASTEST thing on the planet (in terms of top speed) but rather the FASTEST ACCELERATING thing on the planet.
If it had a higher top-speed, it would go farther than a few meters away from the poop from which it launched.


I agree. I also doubt that this is even the fastest accelerating thing in the world. I think they're just trying to showoff some research from a local researchers, and if you want to make a claim about the fastest accelerating thing in the world you'd need to look a little more broadly.

Showoff!

@Shepppard

Yes there's some distancing from police, I have a cousin whose husband is a cop. He gave me a bad vibe for awhile, couldn't put my finger on it. Then one christmas get together I saw him talking about how cops can take down people easily by controlling the arm behind the back...and talking about how he could do it to anyone there no problem. So an uncle whose a short guy but strong as hell said I doubt it. So the cop tried, failed, made an excuse that he didn't want to hurt him...so the uncle said let's go outside and you can try all you like. That is teenage showoff kind of mentality, and that is not someone you want handling a gun and in charge of deciding what to do with you when they think they've got you on something. I'd guess his age to be late 20s maybe 30 at that time, uncle was probably late 40s or 50.

And a year or so after this, my brother got in trouble, fairly serious trouble. And the cousin's husband called up "to help him", gave him A LOT of bad advice under the guise of being family and wanting to help out. Told him to admit everything, didn't need a lawyer, the cops would take it easy on him...etc etc. An attempt to further his career as being "true blue" I guess. And that demonstrated his core character without any room for doubt left. If it had been his own son in that trouble, he would not have offered that advice...he'd have kept his mouth shut, got him a lawyer and went from there.

I can sympathize with cops who are there to actually protect people and put themselves in harms way to do so, but showboating, intention bad advice and attempted trickery, and no apparent loyalties or common decency is not someone who deserves respect as a human being. So they use the badge to demand respect....and that's where a lot of the trouble stems.....Im a cop so I should.......get free coffee.....get free donuts.....get free pizza........get a free pass......get the girl.......get money........get respect........get your undivided attention and obedience...... get my way.......

And my brother went on to develop a mental disorders and drug problems related to it. I've seen cops threaten him, ready to beat him down when he was not violent just mouthy and contrary. He got his arm and shoulder broken and damaged so badly while he was being held in jail for contempt of court (his mouthiness (mental disorder), not related to any charges) that he had to have a surgeon consult to see if it needed surgery to repair it. They withheld medications from him. Didn't bother to review tapes to catch the 5-8 guys who beat him down on his first day in with the population (they didn't hold him there due to his mental disorder, but all the sudden he was magically put in with the population). It took him pressing charges through a probation officer 2-3 weeks later to get any action rolling...and they still say he's responsible for paying all of the medical bills he incurred due to them placing him in with the people who beat his ass.

I can see why people hate anything to do with the justice system.....he had it bad and all he needed was someone to force medical treatment on him. Other people have had it worse, and no one steps up and takes on some personal responsibility to make sure people are not being abused....because it's not the way things are done. They are there to inflict maximum penalties on people through deception, subterfuge, and basically any way afforded to them. The only people who are not submitted to THIS system are rich, well lawyered citizens, powerful citizens, and close cop-relatives (parents, siblings, children).

I don't see the fail in the showoff's side, he got it on the second attempt.
And that teaches blue for standing too close to the line in the first place. Maybe he was the requisite distance away, but I just find it lame-ass when they try and crowd you like that. Go do something useful instead of trying to get your nose broken.
@BR - you do realize that you can't kick the ball on a throw-in, yes?


I have no idea when this was filmed but for about 2 years now the minimum distance has been 2 yards from the place where the throw in is taken.

At least the wakeboarder is being a dick to everyone equally.

Man, but if this ain't a self-contained nice guy parable... This guy goes out of his way to carry two girls across the street and in the middle of his kind act some jerk goes spinning by on a wakeboard, spraying everybody with water, and when everyone's done wildly cheering for the showoff the average guy just goes back to the silent task of hauling these girls around in awkward silence.
I mean, not that I'm bitter or anything.

WOA LITTLE DUDE ! I hope that one kid at the very very end going down the slide backwards as it faded out is okay. thats a pretty stupid showoff thing to do.

>> ^Krupo:
And why is this in the spacy channel?

Oop's, that was supposed to be "Sports"

If they do things like horseback competitions, yachting, exotic vacations, and he RENTED A FREAKING MOVIE THEATER, on top of the fact he hired actors, a production crew, AND filmed in exotic locations, then yeah, I'd say he is a freaking hugely rich showoff douchebag.
Oh, and I'm a recently engaged girl, btw. I just found it pretentious and self-important.

Your video, Showoff And His TreadMill - Play Him Off Keyboard Cat, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Wonder if any of his cohorts have ever thought of adding grease to the 'bounce area' just for fun, friggin showoff.

Yaaaay AC! You showoff

That was pretty darn impressive.

Really.

Showoff? Maybe.

Has some actual skill? Definitely.
