Shark Week Debunked

(YouTube link)

Shark Week has been a TV staple since 1988, but like many institutions, it has changed over time. What was once educational is now entertainment, but the Discovery Channel needs to make their intentions more clear for those who grew up thinking Shark Week was for information. Oh, there’s nothing wrong with throwing an occasional movie into the mix, but it’s easy to see that Jaws or Sharktopus is fictional. It’s not so easy for the general public to separate “mockumentaries” and “reality TV” from nature documentaries, especially after so many years of traditional educational fare about sharks. -via Viral Viral Videos

Did anyone see Role Models yet? One of my favorite scenes is when Paul Rudd acts like an ass to the woman who works at Starbucks.

"'Tall' is large, 'Grande' is Spanish for large, 'Venti' is the only one that doesn't actually mean large. It's Italian, it means 20. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages."

Haha.

got 90% though i only knew a few of them, i educatedly guessed the rest of them, from my knowledge of wonky fast food naming schemes. the one i missed was about the hadron collider, i assumed that one was going to be a trick question, so i picked the same name it already has.

I really had a bad attitude one day with a kid in McDonald's who was too ignorant to understand that Medium is the middle size, that the customer is always right, and that picking your battles is what it's about.

"...and a medium Diet-Coke, please"

"We don't have medium, we have Regular, Large, & Supersize."

"Insulting a customer by telling him you don't have a medium sized drink is not a good practice."

No matter what I said, it went downhill from there. I'm assuming he's been promoted to Manager by now. They love those who toe the company line at McDonald's.
