About bloody time.

Wow, this has got to be the most annoying documentary ever made. The subject is of vital importance and I had to fight my way through the shitty music and the cheap action movie announcer to find the 30 seconds of real informaiton hidden in this 4 minutes of poorly produced trash.

One of my dreams is to be able to see magentic fields (radio waves too). This was amazing.

Brilliant.

When my dad asks me why I won't visit him in the US I direct him to videos like this one.

Wow, that looks useful. I want one. I don't supposed anyone here could translate this guy's sales pitch. It sounds interesting.

The smug condesention in the hosts voices was the most interesting. Poor Hitchens. All this effort just to ensure you'll go to hell. (sarcasm for the cheap seats)

Not sure if anyone else here cares, but all the Japanese language used in this skit is technically correct, though badly pronounced. Well done SNL! Frankly this is a million times more effort than the Japanese go to when attempting to lampoon any other country. Usually they just glue on a fake nose and paint their faces black (yes, classic black-face with the white lips and everything) or they paint them pink and draw round eyes. It's surreal.

If there was a way to increase the reaction speed and prevent it from snapping (it's a bit brittle) this stuff would make great cyborg muscles.

This kind of post validates the internet. This is why it's here. Great post hoju.

Fantastic post.

Here in Tokyo I see electric versions of this device every day. There's no way I'd buy a petrol powered one if there's an electric version available. In fact (for the US market) -

I appreciate the intellectual excersize that travel to a continent sized asylum can provide. However I have found that with most institutions that are run by the inmates once you get in it's really hard to convince anyone to let you back out again.

My American dad keeps asking me why I don't want to visit him in the US. All I do is point him to stories like this.

The choice of the Disco version of the Star Wars theme was perfect.
