Clown Dances To Beyonce

Funny of the day.

Wannabe Beyonce’s clownylicious moves.  Metro UK. 

Priceless video of a Beyonce devotee who can do the dance moves well, except for one minor interference from blunt head to television trauma. 

Just a clown doing her job and entertaining us gleefully. 

Thanks to reader Mockazine for suggesting the following: “Not Safe For Work.”

Rewarding Underachievement Through No Accomplishment

Diversity Lane has a cartoon that brings up the pointedness of massively rewarding underachievement in this modern day and age.

Ignoble Prize


“Don’t think of yourself as an ‘underachiver who hasn’t met a single important goal;’ think of yourself as a viable candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize!”

The Deepest Trash Bin In The World

Another cool Swedish experiment.  Along the same lines as Subway Stairs Turn Into Piano Fun (Världens djupaste soptunna).  Now there is Världens djupaste soptunna (The world’s deepest dustbin). 

Throwing garbage in a garbage can instead of on the ground should not reasonably be so difficult. Surprisingly, many still fail with this. Can we get more people to throw rubbish in the bin instead of on the ground by making it more fun? The result you see here.

We believe that the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better is by making it fun to do. We call it The fun theory. http://www.rolighetsteorin.se/

Bullet Impacts In Ultra Slow Motion

Fascinating.  From Mattrece.

Other version of the video has a better soundtrack. Be sure to see my other videos of more slow motion bullet impacts! Slow Motion video of bullet impacts made by Werner Mehl from Kurzzeit. These are by far the best slow motion bullet impacts available anywhere. Watch for the hollow point rounds in the ballistics gel.

White House Admits Punishing Fox News

It is official.  White House Tells CNN They Are Punishing Fox News.  Townhall. 

Almost sounds like the White House is behaving like a spiteful child singling out and not inviting a birthday party invitee.    

In an interview with CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” White House Communications Director Anita Dunn elaborates on comments she made in Time magazine about Fox News, calling the network “opinion journalism masquerading as news.”

During the interview, Dunn admits the White House is punishing Fox News for its “negative” coverage of the president–including the exclusion of Fox during Obama’s weekend media blitz last month.  Despite not giving any examples of actual inaccurate reporting on Fox’s part, Dunn whined that “Fox News often operates as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.”

That is an interesting formulation.  It appears Dunn makes a correlation between Fox News reporting news critical of the White House administration, and some sort of connection with the Republican party. 

Looks like Dunn has failed to realize that anyone critical of the White House administration can be of any political persuasion.  Independents, Moderates, Democrats, and Republicans ALL fit under that category, and all may just as well watch Fox, or any other network for that matter. 

The White House really should take a more insightful and analytic approach to the true issue behind anyone rejecting the “tow the line” mentality, before making the assumption as stated above.

Fox’s Volley With Obama Intensifying.  NYT. 

“Instead of governing, the White House continues to be in campaign mode, and Fox News is the target of their attack mentality,” Michael Clemente, the channel’s senior vice president for news, said in a statement on Sunday. “Perhaps the energy would be better spent on the critical issues that voters are worried about.”

Indeed.  Perhaps the White House administration should dispense with pettiness and get into the business of governing.
