You can criticize this measure, but anecdotal evidence is worthless.

Saturated fat: Association with diseases.

Why did nobody think of this before? And maybe they should even make it mandatory or else not enough people will go for it as that would not be romantic.

Can't believe this is not from Japan btw.

Oh! I so wish I could get interrupted by a loving phone-call, especially during man time!

Incomplete. It should read: "It's a Great Day in South Carolina and I'm a brain dead zombie. How can I help you?"

>> Greetings like this seem like a good idea to someone who has never, ever taken calls. To someone who has, they seem like a way to torture both employees and customer.

Couldn't agree more. Let the gov himself take calls like that for a month or so, let's see how he likes it. :D

Sorry that questioning the authenticity of this video is so offensive to you. Buy as I said: just trying to say that real or fake, both possibilities are entirely possible imo.

In case you're not convinced that faking videos is pretty common place these days check this out:
Ultimate Batting Practice.

It sure would be great if we lived in a world where we could simply believe everything we saw, but we don't live in such a word anymore (if ever we did).

>> That would take too much effort...

Uhmm... the internet is filled to the brim with things that should have taken "too much effort". ;)

In this particular case I think that for somebody with experience in adding visual effects to film this might not have taken more than 15 minutes.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxC5WI6Owcw

So the odds of the plane landing in the bin are astronomically small. Or so it seems to me. You could probably throw that plane a million times off the roof and it would never land in the bin. On top of that you happened to be filming it at the same time, making it even more unlikely.
Video editing makes faking this relatively easy these days.
On top of that a lot of things struck me as odd in the video (see list).
And yes I'm a cynic. *
So there you go. ;)

(Actually I should have said "I'm skeptical". Real or fake, both possibilities are entirely possible imo.)

* If everybody is honest, the one person who cheats wins. As a result EVERYBODY cheats. Welcome to reality. ;)

Two common superstitions in my country (and many others I think) not in the list:

- Horseshoe brings good luck. So it's nailed above the door or somewhere.
- Four leaf clover brings good luck (or protects against bad luck). The idea is to keep one on your person, sometimes in the form of jewelery. Trying to find them in the grass was something we did as kids.

Omg that was brilliant. (And well made.)

(And I didn't think it was too long, it builds the tension.)

I don't believe it.

I'm probably over-analyzing this but:

1) Throwing paper planes off the roof: why would they think filming that would be interesting?
2) Why would they name the planes? (Trying too hard to make it look legit.)
3) The guy who proposes to name the planes calls his own plane "paper airplane"?
4) What's with the maniacal laughter?
5) One guy is calling for the bin pretty quickly when the chances of that happening are astronomically small.
6) Their reactions... not convinced.
7) The plane in question is out of the frame at some point; so easy to fake the rest.

The only reason why I think this might be real is that it's too stupid to bother to fake. Then again: that's probably also the only reason why people would believe it. ;)

Wow, didn't know slinkys were sentient. Thx for this video!

I find it fascinating how we still don't have the faintest clue about how the universe (and everything) actually works. Nobody can make any sense of it. For all intents and purposes we're living in a Monty Python sketch.

Human beings are stupid. The world is going down the drain right in front of our eyes and we aren't able to do a damned thing about it. But hey, we put a man on the moon, so that's something.

Future intelligent species (speculation) will probably be looking at the moon and wondering; how the f*ck did that get on there???

Or use any president's speech.

Sean Connery was a great actor.
