Microsoft's iPod
Update: March 15, 2006
Well, YouTube has removed the parody of Microsoft packaging. Not sure why. But, at the same time, Microsoft has now admited they actually created the video that pokes fun at their packaging design.
And while YouTube may have removed the video for some strange reason -- you can still find it at Google Video. (See below.)

Jason McElway's Basketball Game
Meet Jason McElway, an autistic high school student from Rochester, NY. The kid loves basketball, and serves as his school's basketball team helper -- bringing water for the players, etc. On the final game of the season, the coach suited him up -- not with the intention of playing him -- just to let him feel what it's like to play. With four minutes to go, the coach has a change of heart, and puts Jason out on the court. What happens next, surprises everyone.

CNN Double Standards
CNN has decided not to show the "offensive" Muhammed cartoons, not out of respect for Muslims, but out of fear of fundamentalist Islam. While showing restraint where the Muslims are concerned, CNN shows none where the Jews are concerned, and shows anti-Semitic cartoons. Read more at the National Review.

Family Guy on Blasphemy
Just when things aren't going too good ... when the ignorant is making fun of your prophets ... you gods ... instead of threatening; taking out bounties; burning embassies; murdering innocents ... why don't you just develop a sense of humour?
Update: March 13/06
This video was deleted from YouTube for copyright infringement. Kinda heavy handed for a 47-second clip. But that's DMCA for you. There are probably millions of people who've never heard of the Family Guy. By seeing that 47-second clip, a few of them may have been curious to see more of the show. A fan could have been born. No chance of that happening now.
YouTube received complaints from the studio I suppose, that's why the clip (and others like it) are being deleted from YouTube. Oh well ...
In the meantime, here are a couple of Family Guy clips still on YouTube -- they won't be there long!
Wanking in the Office
Not sure where this clip is from, although I recognized Simon Pegg. The clip is hilarious. In it, the office manager comes in to tell the troops that they have to stop wanking in the office, as the bosses are coming for a visit, and the place just has to get cleaned up. The staff complain that morale will just drop if they stop wanking. Hilarious!
Ali G vs. Religion
Ali G takes tries to understand God and religion in this clip from his television show. As usual, it's amazing how many people just don't get that they are the joke! This is a hilarious clip!

Zhang Zi Yi -- VISA
Zhang Zi Yi tears up a restaurant in this VISA commercial. Cool kung-fu and effects!
Dan Zhang & Hao Zhang
I'm not really into the Olympics -- much less so figure skating -- but my wife brought this to my attention tonight. Check out one helluva a spill by Zhang Dan, coming out of a throw by her partner. Her knees must be destroyed -- and I can't imagine the pain she must have felt. Amazingly, after the fall, Zhang did not leave the ice -- nor did she throw in the towel. The 20-year-old went right back at it with her partner and continued skating -- going on to win the silver medal -- the highest medal achieved by the Chinese in the figure skating event.
Truly, an amazing and courageous young woman.

The Daily Show: Mooning for Civil Liberties
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart reports on how mooning is an expression of civil liberties.
Colbert on Bush's State of the Union Address
Just what does George W. Bush mean when he declares America will lower its dependence on Middle East oil by 75% by 2025? Well, apparently he didn't really mean that ... literally.
Colbert on Science Education
Attorney General: Alberto Gonzales confesses his ignorance of American history in testifying on behalf of Bush's trouble with wiretapping, and Colbert launches into science education in the US.

Nike Commercial
This was supposed to be funny. A Nike ad that spoofs a slasher fick. The chainsaw weilding bad guy goes after the girl about to take a bath. Of course, she's wearing Nikes. (Yes, to take a bath.) It wasn't funny though.

Borat: Hunting the Jew
In case you're not familiar with Borat, he's a UK comedian. Here he's pretending he's Borat, a TV host from Kazakhstan. Here a Texan falls for his routine and speaks a little too openly about Jews and Blacks.
The Spirit of Christmas
Jesus makes an appearance on South Park -- and takes on Santa Claus! (And guess what? This is the free world, so no one is threatening to sever heads.)

Meet Your Milk
WARNING!
This is a very disturbing video. It was apparently created by PETA for the Super Bowl. It never made the cut. It starts out showing girls at some club dancing, lifting their tops off to reveal udders -- from which they squirt milk that men try to drink. That piece of exploitation is disturbing enough, but nothing new to PETA. What follows is sickening. They show some of the most disturbing practices of factory farming. Cows are abused -- violently abused. I've visited farms where milk gets produced, and I've never seen such horrors. I am aware of the whole Monsanto chemically induced milk production happening in the US -- but that doesn't top this. This makes me glad I only add milk to my coffee and nothing more.
Conspiracy Theories
A BBC documentary that questions the validity of George W. Bush's second term via the election victory in Florida.

Also posted on my main blog. This Super Bowl 2006 commercial was not approved for being aired, as it made fun of George W. Bush.
Whassup!!!
This was also posted on my main blog. Then I thought ... hey, why not create a blog just for the silly videos I find on the net?
Banned: IKEA Commercial
If you're debating whether to leave home or not, check this video out. If you're debating whether to encourage your kids to move out or not, check this video out. Regardless, at some point, the kids really, really should leave home.
