The Big Shave - 1967
The Big Shave is a 1967 six-minute short film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is also known as Viet '67.
Peter Bernuth stars as the recipient of the title shave, repeatedly shaving away hair, then skin, in an increasingly bloody and graphic bathroom scene. Many film critics have interpreted the young man's process of self-mutilation as a metaphor for the self-destructive involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War, prompted by the film's alternative title.
Dancing to celebrate Jefferson's BDay
The second video, posted below, shows the dancers arguing with Park Police officers about why they’re being asked to leave. They say they were quietly dancing with headphones on to celebrate Jefferson’s birthday, and that they weren’t breaking any laws (which, as far as we can tell, they indeed were not). Toward the end of the video, you can see Oberwetter, 28, being handcuffed and taken into custody.

Fan Death Claims Another Innocent Life
Perhaps the single most misguided pseudo-scientific belief held by the majority population of any otherwise reasonable nation, the myth of Fan Death suggests that, if you sleep in a room in which a standard electric fan is running and the doors and windows are closed, you will die. In Korea, this belief is not a fringe thing; mainstream Korean media outlets cite fan death as the primary cause of summertime deaths, and medical professionals have attempted to back up the urban legend with research. Even the government endorses the idea; in 2006, they issued a report claiming fan death was among the top five causes of death during the summer months. The explanations for death by fan range from semi-plausible theories regarding hyperthermia (aka overheating) to utterly bizarre explanations involving the shredding of oxygen molecules and the creation of air-sucking vortices that create vacuums and cause asphyxiation by siphoning air to nowhere. When an exasperated Australian friend of mine told a teacher at my hagwon that he’d slept with fans on for his entire life, she looked grave and told him, “You’re very lucky.” The whole thing is totally implausible, unless you’re talking about a fan that’s been possessed by Gozer, or a North Korean spy fan.

Iraq War Refugee Video - This should have more than 202 views
The corrupt leader of this program:
Ellen Sauerbrey was picked to head the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, an agency with a $700 million annual budget that has responsibility for coordinating the U.S. government's response to refugee crises during natural disasters and wars.
Sauerbrey, a former member of the Republican National Committee who was Bush's Maryland state campaign chairwoman in 2000, is the U.S. representative to the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women. She has been a conservative activist for decades, and was a TV commentator after two unsuccessful runs for Maryland governor, but has no direct experience mobilizing responses to humanitarian emergencies.

Dock Ellis Says He Pitched 1970 No-Hitter Under The Influence of LSD
"Los Angeles, April 8, 1984- Former Pittsburgh Pirates' pitcher Dock Ellis says he was under the influence of LSD when he pitched a 1970 no-hitter against the San Diego Padres.
Ellis, now co-ordinator of an anti drug program in Los Angeles, said he didn't know until six hours before his June 12, 1970 no hitter that he was going to pitch.
"I was in Los Angeles, and the team was playing in San Diego , but I didn't know it. I had taken LSD..... I thought it was an off-day, that's how come I had it in me. I took the LSD at noon. At 1pm, his girlfriend and trip partner looked at the paper and said, "Dock, you're pitching today!"
"That's when it was $9.50 to fly to San Diego. She got me to the airport at 3:30. I got there at 4:30, and the game started at 6:05pm. It was a twi-night doubleheader.
I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria.
I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times.
The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."
The Pirates won the game, 2-0, although Ellis walked eight batters. It was the highpoint in the baseball career of one of the finer pitchers of his time, and arguably,one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports."

"Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say 'Penis' at will to old ladies." -Monty Python & the Holy Grail
This was my idea!
"When I was in Tokyo last month, my mom and I took our dogs to Odaiba, where we stumbled upon this strange store called Puppy the World.
Puppy the World is a dog rental store. You can choose small, medium, or large breeds and rent them for $19/hr, or $100 a night. They have everything from chihuahuas to labs to border collies to papillons—and you get a 5% discount at the cafe if you rent one! You can't lose.
By the time my mom and I got there, registration for rentals for the day were over. Besides, they said, you can't rent one if you already own a dog. I couldn't help but wonder how they treated the dogs in a place like this. So I asked. Here's what I found out:
Every day, they have about 10-15 dogs in circulation. The dogs rotate in and out of service every few days. The ones in service stay on-site in a kennel, and the rest are all kept in nearby facility on their days off. The average dog works for about 5-6 years before they retire. Once they retire, they go to a facility in Chiba where they "rest." I wasn't exactly sure what they meant by rest, but I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it means they get to romp in huge meadows with other retirees.
You don't need anything to rent a dog, they just make a copy of your drivers license and give you a leash and you're good to go."

巴士阿叔 - Bus Uncle (雙語字幕 - Bilingual Substitle)
"The Bus Uncle" is a Cantonese video clip of a quarrel between two men aboard a bus in Hong Kong on April 27, 2006. While the older man (Chan), who came to be nicknamed the Bus Uncle, scolded the man seated behind him (Ho), a nearby passenger used his camera phone to record the entire incident to provide evidence for the police in the event of a fight. The resulting six-minute video[1] was uploaded to the Hong Kong Golden Forum, YouTube, and Google Video. The clip became YouTube's most viewed video in May 2006,[2] attracting viewers with its rhetorical outbursts and copious use of profanity by the older man, receiving 1.7 million hits in the first 3 weeks of that month.[3]

Gogol Bordello - start wearing purple
Gogol Bordello is a multi-ethnic Gypsy punk band from the Lower East Side of New York City that formed in 1999 and is known for its theatrical stage shows. Much of the band's sound is inspired by Gypsy music, as its core members are immigrants from Eastern Europe. The band incorporates minor-key accordion and fiddle (and on some albums, saxophone) mixed with cabaret, punk, and dub as well as multiple languages. Phill Jupitus has described the band as "a bit like The Clash and The Pogues having a fight... in Eastern Europe," while Kenneth Partridge of The Hartford Courant described lead singer Eugene Hütz's voice as "somewhere between that of Borat and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog."
Serial Killer Pyscho Charles Manson Uses Creative Commons Digital Album From Prison
Gizmodo writes "Charles Manson has used the liberal Creative Commons license to release a new 16-track album from prison. The album, called, ironically, One Mind, is free to download at LimeWire. As an added bonus, the CC license allows listeners to copy the tracks as much as they want and distribute them, so long as they don't use them for commercial purposes-like starting a cult or something. Hear the man himself croon a killer tune after the jump at about the 1:15 mark."

The Craziest Thing Gary Busey Ever Snorted Cocaine Off Of
As written in Maxim Magazine:
What was the freakiest thing you ever snorted blow off of when you were a prominent coke fiend?
"I came home one day, took off my windbreaker, and three bindles of cocaine fell to the floor. Well, my dog, Chili, who has short hair, came in and laid on her back with her legs in the air, and she rubbed all my cocaine on her back and side. I yelled, "No, Chili! No" So I got a straw, and I started brushing her hair and snorting where I saw cocaine. Back, butt, side -- not a spot was left. It took me 25 minutes to snort all the cocaine the dog had on her coat. The fringe benefits of this were that the fleas, the dog hair, the mud, and the sweat went in my nose, too. It's not a good flavor coming off the dog."
