cute lookin dawg

For me, I was rather moved by the one lady whom was moved to tears. It wasn't constructive, it didn't help anyone, in a way it was almost childish. But, the depth of her sensitivity to the well treatment of others being violated, to me, was truly beautiful.


To be honest, seeing that woman cry is a little scary. I don't think that she was moved to tears because she felt sympathy towards the victim, more that she was so sensitive about the topic of <whispers>racism</whispers> O_O that she couldn't handle the thought of it. Let alone to confront and speak about this topic openly. I really wonder what caused her to react like that and if she reacts to other confrontational or sensitive topics in the same way. People shouldn't feel frightened to tears to talk about this stuff...

The way I'd like to have seen them do this is take footage from several angles including birds view to see how real shop staff follow and keep an eye on discriminated shoppers then see if they are mostly black or poorly dressed.

Another problem with this experiment is that the situations staged were not equal. There is a difference between a black lady who is able to fight back against what is happening to her and one who breaks down crying. I can imagine that a lot more people would step in if they saw that she was defenceless.

Did anyone else think that Jack's grin right after the footage of the bombing was disconcerting?

This is brilliant too. Found through related vids on YT.

"I was talking about the clothes I was going to wear to my friend Bob['s] who was my fricking passenger friend on the bus we were going to Frisco to get some weed for our arthritis and pain and I was talking about I'm gonna wear a powder blue fucking suit a white shirt and red tie..."

http://www.iamamotherfucker.com/ describes Mr Slick as an epic raconteur lol.

alizarin is clearly a bipolar nut case because his recollection of events are off. Take this guy off the streets!

This whole thing reminds me of a Harvard study I read about in college - The psychologist shows people a picture of two men having an argument in a subway train. One has a razor in his hand the other is unarmed. When people were shown the image briefly and then asked who was holding the razor 50% said it was the black man, when it was actually the white man. I failed that test then and it was sobering - you can be racist and not realize it or intend it. I think I'd pass it today but I don't think the average person would....

You read the study? And you participated?

For me, celebrities that I don't have a huge amount of sympathy for are those who, like mentioned in above comments, milk it with the media and books. It's funny how you don't hear that much about the private lives of some celebrities like Scarlett Johansson or Famke Janssen yet I know everything about Britney and Lohan.
It is very possible to stay out of the gossip column everyday if you wanted.

If a celebrity is going through depression, surely you would be better off trying to get better without absolutely everyone knowing and judging you? And if their intentions are to bring depression to the open and to help others, I would have more respect for them if they did not make money out of it by doing free events or donating earned monies from appearances to charities of the cause.

I know someone who uses the sentence I'm so depressed much too often. Instead of saying how an xyz situation made her upset or downed her mood a bit, she would always say that it made her depressed. I'm so depressed today, going to Tescos and seeing all these people makes me depressed, that dog makes me depressed, my hair makes me depressed, adverts make me depressed.
Guess what I want to say to this person? Stop cheating on your boyfriend, find a job and GET OVER IT.

Anyhoo, something that people may be missing is this is comedy. Do we believe everything that comedians say for a laugh? Many comedians make up situations and opinions posing them as real ones. After watching and listening to Gervais for quite a while, I am quite sure that he wouldn't tell someone with a real issue like depression or alcoholism to "get over it". Here he is addressing the attention whores.
In any case, he generalised and exaggerated because he's a comedian and not a spokesperson for the NHS.
