Georgian Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili Video

I was not a big fan of the Faces of Death videos when I was younger.  I find it disgusting watching someone’s death.  It is not for us to watch.  I’m sorry if I am offending anyone out there but a car crash doesn’t  interest me either.

I was horrified to hear about the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili this morning and I figured that the video would appear on Youtube in a matter of minutes.  Sure enough the video made it on to Youtube and was promptly removed.  Please understand this:  HIS DEATH IS NOT FICTION.  He has a family that is in shock and is mourning his death.  His death should not be your entertainment.

The Most Useless Machine Ever lives up to its name.

I am not sure why but this new viral video making the round on Youtube is making me smile and giggle like a school girl.  It reminds me of the bobbing bird and the glass of water.

The bobbing bird and water cup... fun for the whole family.

Drink up you must be thirsty

The machine at least is energy conscious. I am not sure why so many people are fascinated by it but I think it might have to do with the music too.

This might end up being the 2nd most popular viral video about a box.   So my trivia question for the audience is what is the most famous viral video about a box. (Hint: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa)

Beautiful People Rejects not welcome Here either!!!!

Beautiful People Only

Robert Hintze and Greg Hodge are not only hot but are geniuses too.

“Fatties’ booted from BeautifulPeople.com” is the headline at the Freep (the Detroit Free Press).

The BBC reports: “BeautifulPeople.com axes holiday weight gain members”

And 15minutesofstupidity reports that fat people are ugly and the shouldn’t even be talked about.

For those of you who don’t know by now Robert Hintze and Greg Hodge are what the wrestling world calls a “heel.” They come out into the wrestling ring and anounce that ugly people are not welcome to join their club and if they become fat after they join the club then they’ll be kicked out of the club.

So yesterday beautifulpeople.com sends out a press release announcing that it removed 5000 “fatties” from its membership because they gained too much weight over the holidays.  Man that is strict.  I mean here at 15minutesofstupidity, we don’t even have a budget to buy a new keyboard with all the keys and there they can go to each person’s home right after Xmas and see if they gained weight.

Oh I’m sorry I read that the updated photos is how they did it.  After peole sent in their “new” photos members saw how fat these people got and reported them.  So now it makes sense?????  (note the sarcasm)  I don’t know how many times these guys can pull off the free publicity for their site but they are doing a great job.  Bravo guys!!!

One of the truly beautiful people
