This is just craziness and shows how we should not be keeping animals in captivity. Similar to the incident several months back where the orca at Seaworld killed it’s trainer. A dolphin named Kuru has tried to emulate Willy and jump from his tank.
During a recent show at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Kuru did a dive straight from the pool to the ground. There is video of it and several photos. The staff of the Aquarium had to use a crane to to lift the dolphin back into the tank.
The manager of the dolphin section, Hideshi Teruya reported that the animal suffered only minor scratches and bruises and was quickly back to normal behavior with a healthy appetite. Mr Teruya denied the captivity was cruel and said the tank was not overcrowded and followed aquarium guidelines.
Ric O’Barry, who now makes a career out of freeing dolphins, said “The video highlights the cruelty the animals suffer while in captivity. The habitat of that false killer whale is so unnatural it leapt out in desperation.
It wanted to end it. Why does a person jump out of a building? It proves that captivity doesn’t work. They are free-ranging creatures with a very large brain. They’re self-aware and putting them in a small tank in a stadium setting is abusive.”
Sometime in the ‘80s, the public opinion of drugs split into two distinct camps, one deciding that drugs were okay, and the other deciding it had transcended the human form and was ready to live with the star people in magic space huts. The latter group is responsible for most of these ads. Read more.
Imagine. You’re crossing the street one day and then… bam! Bruce Willis slams his car into Ving Rhames. Or you’re at a table of guys in suits and one dude starts giving you surnames of colors. Or maybe if you’re really lucky, you witness one chick in a yellow motorcycle suit take out a ton of guys with swords. You’re in a Tarantino film and your chances of surviving aren’t too great. Unless, however, you follow some simple rules. Read more here.
I liked the bro in the first American Pie but ever since then it’s been downhill…I mean come on…Rollerball, Just Friends, The Long Weekend. He hasn’t done much of anything noteworthy since being the affable virgin Oz. This audition of his for “Mamma Mia” is almost painful to watch…but if you can get through it, it’s pretty funny. I wonder why he didn’t get the part?
Crime: it isn’t pretty. And when the cops come and haul you in front of the cameras to record your lawbreaking visage, you usually don’t have time to freshen up. In this feature, 20 of the most hilariously horrible mugshots ever photographed – these people are already guilty of crimes against the eyeballs. Read more here.
We run. We jump. We swim and play. We row and go on trips
But the things that last forever… are our dear friendships
Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts.
And when we think about you (it makes me wanna fart!)
It’s ‘I hope we never part’. Now get it right or pay the price.
Now we will share a lifetime of the fondest memories.
By the lakes of Anawanna.. Sat in the old pine trees.
Camp Anawa-.., we hold you in our hearts.
And when we think ab-.. (this thing came apart)
Think Anawanna-wanna, speak Anawanna-wanna..
Live Anawanna-wanna! Ugh!
Salute Your Shorts was based on the book Salute Your Shorts: Life at Summer Camp written by Steve Slavkin, and who later was the producer of the show. Debuting in 1991, Salute Your Shorts featured seven campers attending Camp Anawana. It was actually filmed in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California.
Their counselor Kevin “Ug” Lee continued to look for ways of punishing the group. In the first episode, Bobby Budnick steals the new camper Michael’s boxer shorts and raises them on the flag pole. Hence the name, Salute Your Shorts!
Oddly enough there were only 2 seasons and 26 episodes. For whatever reason I feel like there were many more but guess not. It seems in 1992 MTV bought Nickelodeon and needed to make room (funding) for an animated show titled Bevis & Butthead. Salute Your Shorts has yet to be released on DVD but there are a few online petitions asking for them to be put out. There are also multiple Facebook fan pages. Fittingly it turns out the majority of fansites and photos were hosted on Geocities and most all of the stuff is gone now. (more…)
Hip-hop: the first truly original American musical form since jazz. Starting out as a street-level art form in the Boogie Down Bronx, it’s become a multi-million dollar industry. And when anything becomes popular, horrible imitations begin. So it is with rap – just about every mook on Earth thinks they can bust rhymes, from Christian motivational speakers to Sudanese immigrants. In this feature, 20 of the most laughably awful rap videos the world has ever seen.Read more here.
Although her husband @BarackObama has been tweeting for quite some time, Michelle Obama has never gotten into the game. Well during this past week’s White House Correspondents Association Dinner she had her first foray into the social media game.
Initially I thought she had created an account to Tweet but it turns out she just sent a message from someone elses, a writer for CNN, Ed Henry. Here in all its glory is the first ever Tweet from the United State’s First Lady Michelle Obama. Too bad she was let down…I mean with Jay being funny…she really should have had Conan and Carey.
With all the classic cartoon shows that have been made into live action movies recently (Transformers, G.I. Joe, The Flintstones, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Garfield, etc.) we know there will be more to come. We’ve decided to help out the studios and casting agents and give them a few good ideas on who can play a few of your favorite characters.
Here we have celebrity douchebag Charlie Sheen, allegedly in disguise to sneak off for a tryst with mistress Angelina Tracy. Note the hoodie and fake mustache – Sheen, using all of the tools available to him as an actor, disguised himself so as not to be recognized. And now reports are coming in that Charlie has shaved his head to aid in future disguises. With that in mind, we thought we’d help Sheen screw around by suggesting some new disguise concepts for him to use.
With Avatar 2 going into production, this disguise is perfect. And if he gets caught, he can just claim that he’s Emilio Estevez piloting Sheen’s Na’Vi avatar.
