Well, Youtube is still banned in Thailand. I had thought the matter would be resolved quickly - ie, Google showing some respect to over 65 million people and removing the offensive videos.
If this was about freedom of speech you could understand Google’s reasoning for not removing the videos, but while they’re quite happy to block anything on the net within China that refers to the 1989 Tiananaman Square massacre you have to wonder why they’re being so petty and stubborn with Thailand.
It all seems very two-faced of Youtube and Google.
Having seen the videos mocking Thailand’s King, I can’t see any comedy value in it at all. It was obviously posted mererly as a means to shock and anger Thais.
Anyway, enjoy the below footage. Presuming, of course, you’re not in China or Thailand.
If, like me, you like art have a look at Gallery Player.
This is HD art at it’s finest. Their DVD collections start at $19.99 for 60 images.
I particularly liked the National Geographic archives and 1000 places to see before you die.
I could browse pictures like this all day.
They also have a good collection by artists Edward Hopper, Thomas Kincade, Leonard Da Vinci and Claude Monet.
I know this kind of thing wouldn’t appeal to most, but have a browse round Gallery Player and you soon start dreaming of having a big house with a 50″ plasma screen playing a slideshow of lush landscapes whilst you entertain guests. This would also look ideal in offices wanting to impress clients.
A new Nigerian 419 email SCAM SCAM SCAM I just recieved:
Dear Partner,
My name is Mr. Nana Acheapong I, work in a managerial position in a well
respected security company, with the head office here Accra Ghana.
I am contacting you because of an urgent business transaction that I want
to do with a trusted foreigner, I got your email contact during my
search on the internet.
On the 25th of November 2003, the sum of ($7.2 Million U.S Dollars was
deposited with my company, disguised as a family heirloom in a two trunk
box, this is not the only time that corrupt government officials uses the
services of my company to ship their ill gotten wealth abroad or secure it
for future use. I took exceptional note of this deposit because it was
large and as the man at the helm of affairs then, I got to know the man
behind the deposit, Late President Gnassingbe Eyadema who died on February 2005.The reason for my contacting you is that I checked and found out that the
deposit is still intact and nobody has asked for it, and I know that
nobody will ever ask for it, I am the only living soul who knows the true identity
of the depositor, no other person can retrieve the deposit except the
person can produce the codes combination which was given to the depositor,
the way we operate is that if the depositor wants to retrieve his deposit,
he will instruct the company in writing and give his codes and if the
manager confirms the code, the deposit will be released at once to the
person with proof of the deposit information.
If you accept to work with me, I will give you the instruction letter to
send to my company and also when the company asks for the codes, I will
give them to you. Please if you are not interested in this business let me
know so that I can contact someone else.
Please send your response with any delay.
My Best Regards.
Mr.Nana Acheapong.
After listening to all the funny prank calls, I thought it would be fun to do some of my own. I considered building a soundboard from scratch, but after a little surfing I discovered Soundboards.com.
Oh, the joys I had with Ozzie Osbourne, Al Pacino, Arnie and my personal favourite angry Indian neighbour. One friend got so wound up that he kept ringing me back. But all he got was Joe Pesci answering, “What if I were to kick the ever loving shit out ya?”
If you try it don’t forget to put *141 in front of the number to mask the number you’re calling from.
Here’s the last in my mini compilation list of prank calls. After Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson I saved the best for last. Here’s Joe Pesci calling a black guy.
One of the greatest comedians in showbuisness was today in fine form when he did a funky dance on the White House Lawn. George Bush, who had previously performed in Sao Paulo and Tiblisi, was at it again. George, who at times had looked a little awkward in Sao Paulo, was in fine form today. This time, to the sound of African drum beats.
And it was all in a good cause. The Africa Malaria Day gathering and speech. Good on you, George.
A gorilla escapes from the zoo and after 3 weeks, the zoo keepers give up looking for him. Some time later, a man calls the zoo complaining of a gorilla in a tree in his back yard. The zoo keeper rushes right over. When he arrives, he has a net, a baseball bat, a shotgun, and a Dachshund.
The man asks what the items are for. He’s told, “I’m gonna climb the tree and hit the gorilla in the head with the baseball bat. When he falls out of the tree, you throw the net over him, and the Dachshund will go straight for his balls.” The man asks, “But what’s the shotgun for?”
The zoo keeper answers, “If I miss the gorilla and fall out of the tree, you shoot the Dachshund.”
