Having to explain myself like this is annoying. The "still legal" part bothered me because it suggests the existence of globally enforceable law (sure there are treaties, but countries walk away from treaties all the time, or ignore judgments against them). I was looking for clarification from the original poster regarding respecting national sovereignty verses acting for the "greater good".

The recent murder of an El Monte (California) school administrator in Mexico has stirred some local "we [the US] gotta do something" sentiments. I want to ask the people quoted in the local paper what (or if) they think about sovereignty and jurisdiction.

Than if the laws are local, they should only whale locally! They are way out of their waters when they kill them for research, of course. Let me ask you a question: What do you think happens when you wipe out the top of the food chain? Good things or bad things happen.

How is whaling still legal? This is sickening.

Because the Japanese want to whale. Laws are local. Are you suggesting japan sovereignty should be trumped by foreign moral outrage?

I'm sure the fall and the sidewalk did more damage than the butt.

What?

umm, I'm really not sold on the earnestness expressed at the end of this video (nerd core is real hip-hop, yo), but I'm a nerd and I love rap, so I gotta upvote.

OMG the framing device in this video is TERRIBLE. If Videosift has taught us anything it is to SHOW THE GOD DAMN CLIPS AND SHUT UP!

Its like they took genuinely funny videos THAT THEY DID NOT MAKE and clumsily wrapped them in the Cracked brand. Oh wait, doesn't videosift do that?

Did money fly out of that guy?! What does that have to do with WWIII?

Holy shit that was awesome.

The problem is that he isn't sharing the bucket of chicken with them, he's tossing it at them to quiet them down.

I believe a majority of American's (including the brown ones) would have appreciated this commercial (hey, we elected Bush twice, we're a country of assholes), but somewhere in the vast American marketing machine someone (on the left or right coast) would have noticed how f'ed up this is and fixed/stopped it.

I'm an atheist, a scientist, and I think this is dumb.

For me, there was such a long gap between my computer mouse and keyboard counter strike sessions and my current xbox 360 period (5 years ago, no, longer now!) that I didn't notice the change in controls. And thanks to Counter Strike on PC (Jesus, that was over 5 years ago? I'm such a pussy), I will never play online multiplayer again (I'm a silver xbl member).

This is EXACTLY how I felt when I was playing counter strike (minus the 'learning the buttons' part). God damn AWP whores.

Nerds unite and vote for the God Damn Video!!!!

This song taps into some deep, deep part of me. The nerd part. I'm so sad that my own children (they are real) will not feel that. Wait a second, my youngest, 3, loves Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and she complained "why did the song change" between each season as I rewatched them with my wife. My God, she's a NERD TOO!

Is it edited like that in the original broadcast? it was distracting.

Is this filmed in America or something? It looks like a real commercial.

And the winner is... the bug on the leaf.

I love the internet.

and Ornthoron, that is a Playstation controller, not Xbox.
