I bet you didn’t know that, like most of us, Ron has a YouTube account. And just like many of us, Ron has not updated his channel in 1 year, 11 months, and 22 days. Whoops. Even though he has neglected his channel, the 1 lonely video he has uploaded is COMIC GOLD!
Do you remember Keyboard Cat? Ron loves that internet meme so much that he recreated the video and starred in it himself.
This past week revealed a list of words used by the US Government to find potential terror threats amongst US Citizens. This news is disturbing mostly because the list of words is as large as it is vague.
Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats.
The words are included in the department’s 2011 ’Analyst’s Desktop Binder‘ used by workers at their National Operations Center which instructs workers to identify ‘media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities’.
However they insisted the practice was aimed not at policing the internet for disparaging remarks about the government and signs of general dissent, but to provide awareness of any potential threats.
Most of you are probably thinking “So what? I’m not a terrorist. I have nothing to worry about.” Sure, now you don’t. But what about when AT&T hands over your call logs to the Government and they blackball you from renewing your driver’s license because of your numerous calls to 311 about the unfair parking tickets you keep getting? Or when that harmless joke you put on your buddies Facebook wall gets you put on a watch list and you get detained at the airport preventing you from enjoying that vacation you’ve saved up for? NOW WHAT?
But seriously, I can’t think of a single person who hasn’t tweeted at least one of these words. Take a look.
You didn’t do anything wrong, but now the government is watching your twitter feed like a crazy ex-girlfriend, hoping to catch you in the act of doing something anything wrong so they can put you into some crazy detainment camp. It happened in Nazi Germany! It happened here in the US too!
By now, you guys know me pretty intimately, so you know I love to fuck with the powers-that-be by turning their own awfulness on themselves. I suggest we all start tweeting these words a lot. No? What’s wrong, too chicken shit? I don’t blame you.
Being a borderline “crazy cat lady” (I’m a dude for the record) I tend to forget that my adorable little darlings have much larger and more dangerous relatives like lions and tigers and leopards (and all the other Mac OSX flavors).
But when I think of these Big Cats, I don’t think that they are adorable as my little Margot, or as playful as my growing boy Dwayne, but they are!
They’re often “break dancing”, playing with enrichment, stalking tour guests and just being goofy! But remember despite how cute and cuddly they may look sometimes, they are still very much WILD and their mood can change very quickly from fun to ferocious!
Still don’t believe me? Watch this video!
Don’t mind the silly editing, just admire the fact that despite these beasts being able to rip your entire face off at a moment’s notice, they are still silly cats!
There are some obvious downsides to not having corporate sponsorship, one being the lack of money and the rest being the lack of money. Then again, not having a financial backer allows us to post things like the following video that other bigger sites would be allowed to post.
What video?
Good Question!
The description is written in French, which I don’t speak, but Google Translate tells us this:
Small, we love when they dance, move and bob their little cheeks reddened by themischievous look that focuses on their buttocks. Next door neighbor, the Tag Perfect(letagparfait.com) ajar for you the door. The first opens with Eva, in full sessionretrogaming.
The Perfect Tag (letagparfait.com) - the webzine about porn culture - present Small:French girls next door. Peeping Toms have friendly, we share with you what happens-through the keyhole. We open this series with Eva and her passion for duck hunting.
Director: Peter Rabbit & Guilhem Malissen
Music: In Flagranti - Hollow Discourse
What I gather from that, and from having already seen the video, is that this clip is about a sexy girl playing duck hunt. What I also know from watching the video, is that she gets topless in the end so lolol at the suckers who can’t watch this NSFW video at work. You’ll just have to bookmark it, because as the title says “This is the sexiest Duck Hunt video you’ll ever see”
Patent Pending frontman Joe Ragosta is just like us. I mean, he literally runs his own blog which is right in the wheelhouse of you DAPS readers. So, what happens when a pop culture blogger is also in a popular rock group?
Music videos like this happen:
Do we understand why this band won Billboard’s Battle of the Bands and performed at the Billboard Music Awards now? I know, I do.
I hope this new video gets the viral treatment like their previous one, mostly because the pure excitement that the band exerted afterward.
Look:
So happy these guys have been getting the shine they deserve lately.
I meant to post this video about a week ago, but lost it in a sea of bookmarks. It’s old now, but I don’t really care, I bet a bunch of you haven’t seen it.
What is it? I’d rather let Laughing Squid explain:
At the 2012 Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, Washington, several voice actors performed Star Wars Trilogy: The Radio Play, an awesome live reading of the original Star Wars script (also known as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope). The best part was that they did it in the cartoon voices they are famous for, such as Batman, The Power Puff Girls‘ Bubbles, Futurama‘s Bender and Pinky, and more.
For a list of the voice actors, I’m gonna make you go over to Laughing Squid, because they need clicks too. For those of you who want to just watch the video, here it is:
It’s always cool to see the human faces of your favorite cartoon characters. Right?
Oh, this ruined all of your favorite cartoons?
Sorry. It was not my intention.
Semi related, how about Bill Cosby as R2-D2? Just Amazing.
There’s a new biography coming out about President Obama. In it author David Maraniss reveals details about Obama’s pot smoking past. And boy does it seem like young Obama had a lot of fun.
Here’s what the book describes:
“When you were with Barry and his pals, if you exhaled precious pakalolo (Hawaiian slang for marijuana, meaning “numbing tobacco”) instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around.
Fuck yeah man! Barry seems like the coolest kid in Hawaii. Can you imagine it? Here’s Obama, half white/half black and he’s teaching these lame Hawaiian kids how to be cool and smoke pot.
Of course, our favorite Korean animators, Next Media Animation, have gotten hold of this hard hitting news piece and really takes us inside the story, so we fully understand all the issues at hand.
Just kidding. They animated the President smoking from a bong and laughing.
I remember being in high school when The Spice Girls were taking over the world in the late 90s.I discussed with my friends about which Spice Girl was the hottest. Back then I was all about Posh because I’ve have a thing for brunettes and something about Sporty spice just didn’t sit right with me.
Watching the video now, I think my tastes have matured, though in an odd way. I now find myself more attracted to Baby, and couldn’t really tell you why. What I can tell you is that I need to spend more time thinking about girls I know and less about, as Eminem says “which Spice Girl I want to impregnate.”
Enough about me though, listen to “Spice Up Your Life” and make your own decision.
Fun Fact: This song was written in a single afternoon, which is way more productive than how you sat on your couch housin’ Doritos. Just sayin’…
The scary part isn’t that the burglars found out about the cash because of this chick’s Facebook post, the scary part is that the burglars were probably people that she knew.
I can’t believe I’m about to say this: I’m getting bored of bacon. I can believe I’m saying this: I’m glad this My Little Pony tribute was made of bacon, rather than horse meat.
