The idea is awesome. The execution seems somewhat manipulative.

I'm Israeli, so feel free to consider me biased on the matter.

Egyptians have been treated like shit for decades because they lived under the rule of a corrupt regime. Granted, the US had given aid to that regime, and its stability was in the interest of Israel - any other policy would've meant war.

The Egyptian regime had encouraged a media and literature ban on normalization with Israel, in order to turn Israel into a scapegoat for the people's frustrations and in order to stop people from being able to compare their situation to that of Israeli citizens. And as the regime controlled parts of the media, "encouraged" is perhaps too soft a term.

So this is not an instance where years of being "treated like shit" by Israel caused an understandable outburst of hatred. This is a consistent example of hatred being indoctrinated for years (some past examples: here, here and here).

Raciest in the extreme.

There are legitimate reasons to hate Israel, and illegitimate reasons. Me? I hate people who can spell.

can or can't? ;3
I aint no fan of Israel, but throwing punches because you think they lied about being Jews? Aint no rhyme nor reason. The fact they can prank people like this because they reaction is so expected is worrying tbh. Where else in the world could this happen. No wonder the Jews were anxious when Mubarak went...
ps. That woman is beautiful.

They should be anxious because if the Egyptian military who get TONS of US funding are pushed out of power too much then it's a serious issue. The only reason Israel get to be dicks to everyone is because of the US. The US loses Egypt, their control looks more tenuous and then next they might have to actually start listening to other people rather than doing whatever the hell they want.
These people are racist fucks...but it doesn't come from nothing. They hate the fact they were tricked, less understandable. They've been being treated like shit for decades cause of the US and Israel...more understandable. You piss people off you set a bad example...like even good World War 2 soldiers who will hate Japanese people forever because of what they saw. We're humans, we're Fucked Up.

I guess it would be sort of fair that I upvote one video of your choosing

A true legend, if there ever was one. And there was at least one, so, therefore, he is.

That's a lot of bullshit over-dramatization for information that seems interesting enough on its own.


I find it interesting enough on its own too, but I can see why you have to dramatize it for people who aren't as interested in science. Also, it seems like NASA is a bit desperate in its efforts to make the mission seem interesting.

>> ^marinara:

this has nothing to do with cable tv. Tax dollars paid for this drama, because the mission isn't interesting, nor does it have scientific value, besides, what's the best way to spend 4 billion dollars?


Let's forget about the landing for a second. How is finding out if Mars could sustain life not interesting?

I, for one, would like to see Billy West doing a video about actors that aren't voice actors.

Here's what's really going on here:

This has to be one of the most educational Hitler videos ever.

Never heard a song that conveys what gaming is about for me so well. Awesome sift.

"uh, sir? I've just been informed by Mercedes-Benz that we're not getting paid for the product placement."
"What?!"
"We are, after all, blowing up their car."
"Yes, but we have DAVID CARUSO blowing up their car. That's gotta count for something."
"Tried that one, sir. It didn't fly."
"Oh well. Call the sunglasses company, ask them how much they'll pay for a shot of Caruso putting on his glasses with a car exploding in the background."
"But sir, we just had him take them off..."
"...aaaaaand you're fired."

I usually don't like these, but oddly, this one worked for me.

Haven't seen Rocky or the godfather. I'm practically president material.

It is amazing to me that video games have become so realistic that I experience genuine horror just watching this. I wonder whether this would have the same effect on someone who doesn't play video games.

I'm a little disappointed they've added romance. Even if it was done for the reference, it is kind of soapy. Also, Katie and Soren? I'm a KatMichael shipper myself.

As a non-christian, I must say this works even better for me. Since I'm going to hell anyway, I can sin as much as I want to. As a bonus, I don't have to ask for forgiveness. As for Christians praying the lord will have mercy on my soul - that's awfully nice of you, but you really don't have to. At worst, not praying for me is some sort of sin you'll be forgiven for anyway.
