Jeeeez ant, what were you looking for when you found this?...and who but a wonderful geekazoidinal freak would do this to their coworkers, forever burning the image into their worker-bee consciousnesses??? That guy needs to ask for a raise or look for another job, however it went over that fateful day back in awt-nine at office 6Z7469 Core-Quadrant Tango.

I'm guessing you put the (*)art tag because you could see some snooty "Elitists" viewing this in a visual art gallery somewhere in Prague, am I correct? Anyway, this man is the shit.

ps. I love the "Whisky Tango Foxtrot" expression.

I like the democracy my ass comment at the end there .

Another advantage of smaller government is that in theory (as always) it would be easier to make changes. Without so much money changing hands it might be easier for the small guy to really make a difference.

However you're quite right it takes two to tango. Both are wrong. Companies want more and more and politicians enjoy being employed and the odd one (and even ones?) enjoys the kick backs too.

The thing that matters most is the rule of law at the top end. If the president can't be jailed or convicted of crimes then you no longer are part of a fair justice system and that's a big part of what makes us "free".

Corruption blows .

>> ^Enzoblue:

Talk about black and white. They didn't deregulate everything, not even close. They selectively removed very specific barriers to a very select number of companies so that they could rape at will. All laws that prevented or hindered anyone hurt by these changes to fight back, (plus many new ones), were kept very much in place. The deregulated the fat cats and over-regulated the rest.
Another example of what I'm getting at:
Why do I have to have that bulky stupid baby car seat? Why can't car companies make a built in the middle of the back? Because the select few companies that make a fortune off the overpriced buggers have paid government officials a lot of money. Those officials make sure that any advances in baby seats never make it out of government inspection. Now we have the same design we got in the 80's.
This is what I'm talking about.
P.s.
I am a closet anarchist.


you are joking. They did deregulate major laws which had been in place for years - google Glass Steagall act, for one.
In this country you had a financial services authority who turned a blind eye to the cdo's that were being traded, and/or didn't even know what these new banking derivatives were, not even the bank of England had a clue.
Because there was no control, bankers would simply sell these loans on, making their huge sums of money+bonuses, and not caring for the consequences.

And how many times have we seen this process in history? Speculation causing bubbles, which then burst.

I don't understand your car company example..... car manufacturers give the option for an ISOFIX standard implementation in the back seat so parents can put any kind of seat they want in the back. They could sell the seat as an option as well...but why bother when there's already a huge market out there for babyseats.

What.
But yeh, your point is basically corruption. Well, you think the government stops progress, what about corporations? Surely the corporations are as much to blame for paying off government officials as the government is for accepting them? it takes two to tango.

And why can they pay? Because they are ridiculously rich in the first place. All thanks to the lovely free market. As I said in my previous post, im not saying free market is bad. You just need a good mix of both, erring on the side of Control that benefits the nation, not wealthy individuals. Also I did acknowledge corrupt politicians in my previous post - what are you gona do about it? We're living in democracies aren't we? Just vote these politicians out right???

Democracy my ass. But. thats a whole different matter.

Nothing comes close. Except, you know, those pesky F-22 and F-35. Who needs stealth capabilities anyway?

That tango-with-the-missile scene made my "oh please" reflex trigger and fast forward a bit.

I've said it before, I'll say it again - it's good because it has Gotan Project in it.
The track is called Chunga's Revenge (it was originally written and performed by Frank Zappa in late 70s I think) and it's from the 2001 album "La Revancha del Tango". One of the best bands in the world, one of my Top5 albums of all time.

I like the background music

that was one of the old Tango adverts. They used to be brilliant, but if someone can add it to the *viral it would be handy.

i'm fairly sure the other ones are on youtube somewhere too.

From the Los Angeles de Tango 2009 festival brochure here:
http://www.ladetango.com/festival/brothers.html
"A unique couple bursting of ideas and energy, not only because there are two men doing the tango together. Yet Los Macanas are everything else but a modern couple. Deliberately they call themselves traditional tango dancers. Thus they take up an important part of tango history, when at the beginning of the last century men danced with each other. A consequence of the lack of ladies in the immigration country Argentina."

Have you checked out this tango dance clip?

WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW?
willie mae

I'm sick like a sore throat swallow, drunk act to follow
I'll make the whole bottle hollow (what a ride!)
Rollin' wit' a open container, and one in the chamber
Ten Likwit CD's in the changer
Bettin' wages on the Lakers; yo' squad is in danger
Hoes go two ways these days like my pager
Say Hoe, my name is J-Ro, oh, you didn't know? (no)
Well, fuck you then!
I hang with cats, who chase rats, and kick tats
Hit the eightball like Minnesota fats
Got more ? than biceps, relax
Pure hoes jockin' in the studio flats
When I'm in the house, take off the wave cap for hats
Got scully from a hoochie, with lips like Da Brat
Raised in the valley of the shadow of death
So I fear none, time to anty up for the beer run

So all the ladies to the Limo, it's Tha Alkaholik car pool
Lyrics bang from thirty feet to blow y'all niggas off your bar stool
We back, to wet'cha, the flawless, the wallus
Regardless of your colors, Tha Liks are Alkaholiks

We the same three niggas that be makin' the noise
Doin' donuts in Ferraris, like some drunk hot boys

Do or die fool! Straight from the home of where we spark from
Where the weed'll leave ya dizzy like a tranquelizer dart gun
The L, not to be confused with Tinsletown
Well, I made a million dollars off this shit I penciled down
Flashy Tashy, be gunnin' from the worsest alliance
And when I die, I'ma donate all my verses to science
Do the tango, while rappers get strangled by the lone-shark
You be ridin' niggas dick, that's why you never make your own mark
I'm sober and justice, why this is my year
Screamin' "Party over here, fuck y'all over there!"
(Party over here, fuck y'all over there!)

King Tee started it off, and then came Tha Liks
Then Xzibit added hot done proda to the mix
Then Defari, "Hey you!" Comin' through, Likwit Crew
And ? gets the broom, who can sin it?
Who can sin it? Twisted and been it, but if the funk ain't in it
My DJ always submitted to spin it
If I said that I meant it, don't get'cha mouth pin it in ?
We feelin' with a penny, represent it

Aiyyo re-pre-sent, yo', re-si-dence
If it don't say Likwit, then you won't get bent
Aiyyo, dollars and cents, make the world just awkward
Got niggas in the hood, livin' next to their doctor
I'm a rowdy, mic-rocker, since the age of twenty-two
In the video, flossin', like "This could be you"
Likwit Crew, do it up, 'til the wheels fall off
Unlike these other niggas that had it and lost it
We stayed in the game, stayed hot, turned up the flame
[Pharoahe Monch] ("Y'all know the name!")

blankfist You sir, are a classy individual
Farhad Actually, you may be even classier
kronosposeidon That's got to be track one on my eventual CD... what lady couldn't be moved to erotic rapture with that... although I think for full effect, it may have to be a DVD of music videos
gm That would be an... intense... session
rasch187 HA! I'm glad this got a guernsey
Eklek A fine selection of quite nice choices followed by... um... yes
MarineGunrock Brilliant... (And on a note, I think the only track of theirs that my wife has ever got a smirk out of 'then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch X-Files') And the tango... fantastic stuff
jonny I see you have a definite style in your taste in 'getting it on' music Well, at least until the last track... 8-O

So... yes. I thank you fellow sifters for your... erm... enlightening and most helpful responses

Or if you're feeling feeling kinky...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, mate?
