Wirecutter: Those are the same people that can’t write in cursive drive a stick shift change a lightbulb or know how to use a manual can opener so I wouldn’t worry about it
Fake or not, watch the crowd. They all look like 'tards. They all have exactly one 'move'. They remind me of the Peanuts characters at a holiday party. The guy 'dancing' on top of a box in front of the DJ looks creepy. Then near the front on the lower left there is a tall skinny hooded guy handing out something. He looks like death without his scythe. Cartoons come to life. Creepy.
How would you fake something like that? Set up a stage, get a huge crowd together, set up the DJs decks and everything. just so that you could post a mildly amusing gif?
Is it me? Or is the camera angle just to perfectly positioned for some vids these days. I find that if I watch it more than once, well what the F do I know.
I was thinking the same thing, but #2 might actually be legit. It appears that the camera was recording the skateboard attempt and was following the errant board-although if it was faked that is how you'd do it as well.
Your last few Fucking Mondays could have been labeled Fucking Idiots. The nice thing about these is that I don't feel like such a moron for some of the stupid stuff I've done in my life. Good to know I've got lots of company.
[rocketride] #1 That was just plain a bad setup. That collapse was waiting to happen-- tall, skinny, unbraced, and heavily-laden shelving units* is a recipe for disaster-- good thing it didn't fall on him. Even if he did knock them over, it shouldn't have been nearly that easy to do so.
*And way too fragile for the load-- notice how they buckled while collapsing. People don't realize how heavy that volume of paper is.
#1: Well that's not very stable. The video evidence exonerates that guy, luckily for him.
#2: Fuck skateboarders. Nothing to do with this video, but all skateboarders can just fuck off and die. Even those surprisingly cute girls in the Olympics. (btw now the fuck is that in the Olympics? What next, Olympic hot dog eating?)
#5: In a parking lot, I saw a truck driver drag a piece of concrete barricade right into a Lincoln Continental driven by an old man innocently sitting there waiting to make a turn, and he didn't seem to even notice until he started dragging the car. He was also a grossly incompetent moron who had no business behind the wheel.
No pussy or dope for idiot #3

Mondays...
ReplyDelete#1 - Couldn't afford decent shelves, but you can be damn sure they're going to pay someone get those files in order again.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of my favorite saying: There's never time to do it right, but there's ALWAYS time to do it over again...
I said that to my wife today, on the spin up of her new laptop. "What's your pass/user for this site?"
Delete"Uh . . . I have it written down somewhere . . ."
#3 Fake
ReplyDeleteI could post a gif of a bird flying through the air and somebody will claim it's fake.
DeleteMartin, or Marty as the kids call him is from NAMBLA. Don't let him get to ya.

You believe in BIRDS?

Fake? How so?

Delete#2 + #8: Soft landing!

ReplyDeleteI imagine a lot of them come from doorbell, dash and surveillance cameras.

Delete#10 - I have to wonder why anyone was filming popcorn girl walking through a lobby.
Delete8 looks more like a case of working with what you got. That was pretty much the best possible outcome of that situation.
ReplyDeleteAny landing you can walk/limp away from
DeleteDoes that include Popcorn Girl?
Delete#4 When ya get off a bus, get off. It aint a grand exit an no, no one is watching you.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking short bus.
