  Grass-Mud Horse: 1

  
  [ 1:24 - from YouTube ]

  According to the third most popular article on the New York Times website on March 12th, these videos are the product of Chinese internet subversives who are attacking China's strict censorship policies and recent digital crackdown through puns and "double entendres with inarguably dirty second meanings." The words Grass-Mud Horse and River-Crabs seem inoffensive at first, but in reality are ingenious ways to flout Chinese censors. view

  Daniel Hannan MEP: The Devalued Prime Minister of a Devalued Government

  
  
  [ 3:28 - from YouTube ]

  Wow, who knew a session of the European Parliament could be this engaging! In this clip Daniel Hannan completely chews out British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for his handling of the recession. Although Brown is not completely to blame for the British Pound sinking into the ether, Hannan should be commended for speaking his mind to the highest figure in the land. Maybe the US Congress should take note: I think it's time to leave bipartisanship behind and unite not only as a country, but as a world community. Here here! view

  Reno Balloon Race 2006

  
  
  [ 1:10 - from YouTube ]

  There's something very mesmerizing about the way these hot air balloons dance in the air, and the accompanying music is a perfect match. Hot air balloon racing has never been so beautiful. Keep an eye out for the Smokey the Bear balloon. view

  Facebook in Real Life

  
  
  [ 2:08 - from BBC ]

  That guy from high school you never got along with? He's knocking on your door and telling people you were lovers. "It's a joke! Can I get confirmation on that please?" And watch out for that other goon from childhood, spray-painting "dickhead" on your house. It's the Facebook Invasion of the UK, 'cause no one is immune from the humiliating horrors of their past anymore. view

  Tom Brokaw Explains Canada to Americans

  
  
  [ 6:16 - from YouTube ]

  Being one-quarter French-Canadian, I heart the Great White North, so this excellent portrait of the Canadian/U.S. relationship is much appreciated -- even though, inexplicably, Tom Brokaw leaves out "The Red Green Show," the music of Great Big Sea, and the comedy stylings of Bob & Doug MacKenzie. No doubt Canadians would be too polite to point this out, so I'm happy to do it for them. view

  Did you know that the earliest building blocks of the internet were put into place in the 1950s? If you use the internet (and I know you do) you should at least have a basic knowledge of how it was developed. Spend the next 8 minutes watching this video - you owe it to history! view

  Kelsey Briggs (True Story)

  
  
  [ 5:35 - from YouTube ]

  Child abuse is devastating. Who can argue with that? Not the nearly 40 million people who've watched this homemade video, which was created to advocate laws that protect children from abuse. However, as one watches the changing images of Kelsey Briggs as she nears her murder, the video becomes strangely unsettling. Homemade tribute videos like this are complex. Their material has been a mainstay of tabloid journalism and melodrama throughout history. Is this another form of rubbernecking, or worse - a Reader's Digest of snuff films?  view
