Ying-Yang Twins on Cribs - Translated
Does anyone understand what rappers Kaine and D-Roc of the Ying-Yang
Twins (shouldn't that be Yin Yang?) are talking about.
So thankfully, the guys over at Tasty
Booze blog stepped in to translate.
While you laugh at their expense, keep this in mind: they probably
make more in a week than we all do in a year. Sad, ain't it?
While watching this, I had an epiphany about MTV Cribs - the jerky
camera work is to distract you from how bad the show actually is!
Either that or this is how the younger generation actually see the
world, and if so God saves us all.

violation" from her own website - what's up with that?)
Iron Man vs Bruce Lee

Halloween until somebody cries and trick-or-treaters got to suffer

CSI:NY Creates VB GUI to Track IP's
Shows like CSI try hard to bring "real" science into the
show, but more often than not, they fail (DNA sequencing in 3 minutes,
anyone?) Perhaps the writers really don't understand how science
is done, or perhaps they just want to throw in some jargon that
sounds good on the dialog.
Here's a perfect example: tracking down IPs using by creating a
GUI (Graphical User Interface) using Visual Basic. As the VideoSift
caption says, it made as much sense as "Get me some lettuce,
and I'll count to potato, then we'll find grandma."
Japanese Games Shows Are So Much Better Than Ours

His expression (what? what did I do?) later on was priceless! Link
The Woman Whisperer
Picture this: a man was enjoying his beer in a bar when his lady
came up to him and said that it was time to go home.

walked in the door?

Not a Single Person Alive Knows How to Make a Pencil

"Literally thousands of people cooperated to make this
pencil. People who don't speak the same language, who practice
different religions, who might hate one another if they've ever
met. When you go down to the store and buy this pencil, you are
in effect trading a few minutes of your time for a few seconds
of the time of all those thousands of people. What brought them
together and induce them to cooperate to make this pencil?"
