Sorry, this thread reminded me of this video. Even though it didn't happen to me, I'm sure some of us can relate. I was in tears laughing the first time I saw it. The pacing, the tone of voice etc. is spot on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUdHMkE5Qdk&feature=player_embedded

Human's wouldn't be able to function without memory. If all worldly knowledge was wiped clean from your psyche every nanosecond, you'd mostly likely be a vegetable.

So that's half of America obese, and the other half dead of heart attacks?

Bad vision! I had glasses long before they were considered hip/geek-chic or whatever. So now I'm cursed with having no choice but to look cool! :P

As much as I'm disturbed by this scene, I laugh my ass off every time I see it... Meg's sleepover party when Peter knocks on the front door dressed up as Policeman stripper, enters the house, goes through the whole schtick and waves his ass in Meg's face, removing her glasses.

For me, the paradox of liking something because it's good vs. liking something because it's cool lies in the fact that mass popular opinion can be so influential (partly due to oversaturation of technology and democratization of the internet) the the line between the two become blurred. Eg...

Sugar Man by Sixto Rodriguez. 10 points to whoever knows who this is.

The thing I find with Youtube is that unless you know what you're looking for, it's just overwhelming. I read a stat that said something like there was more original content uploaded to Youtube in 2008 than if NBC aired original programming 247/365 since the 40's. Might not be exactly that but...

Well, it's true what they say about your mood intensifying when you drink. I speak from experience. If you're hot under the collar with douchebag fueled rage before you pick up that bottle, stay away from it.

Years ago, I remember playing a game for SuperNES called HyperZone. Every level was the same, aside from slight variations of colour schemes. The object was to cruise through the tunnel-like environments shooting at geometric space ships. I remember being entertained at the time, but when I...
