Lost. What? What? What?

What’s the number one phrase used in ALL reality TV shows?

Come back tomorrow for something similar.

This is Fred. Fred’s got a Youtube channel. Fred makes videos and then turns up the pitch of his voice so he sounds like a whiny little 6 year old. Fred talks about his alcoholic mother and friends who bully him. You wouldn’t think it is funny, but it is. The voice makes the difference. Having said that, the recommended daily dosage is two per day. Anything more than that, and your ears will hate you.

But apparently, other people have higher tolerance of his voice because he’s even got a corporate sponsor. Check him out weaving the product placement into the video above. Clever.

Ah, celebrity and instant fame in the Youtube age. I’m not sure I like it. But hey, at least I was entertained for a little while there.

If you have spent enough time on the Internet during the past two years, you would have heard or read the term “2 girls 1 cup” being thrown around a lot. For the sake of your sanity and your stomach, do not, DO NOT, attempt to search for the pictures or videos.

If you really must know, “2 girls 1 cup” refers to a porn (this was porn, really?!?) clip showing 2 girls, 1 cup and body waste of the #2 kind. Oh yeah and there’s vomit involved. Both the body waste and the vomit are most probably fake but geesus, it’s very realistic. To get an idea about how people react when watching it, you can search for “2girls1cup reactions” on Youtube.

Anyways, College Humor imagines what it must have been like before the clip was shot and if the porn actresses did not realise what they have signed up for. Safe for the stomach but the language is not safe for work.

On the weekend whilst Youtube trawling, I saw this clip of Korean teen pop group Wonder Girls with their song “Tell Me”. The song is incredible catchy (argh, get out of my head!) and the moves are so boppy that they’ve apparently inspired a horde of amateurs to upload videos of themselves doing it.

Then someone went to the trouble of compiling those clips. The Internets. I love it. Because the moves were originally choreographed for young Korean girls, seeing guys doing them is super gay and hilarious.

Rounding up and bringing some balance to this whole thing is Korean liquid popping master Nam Hyun Joon giving us his dance treatment of the song.

Although I’ve enjoyed Adam Sandler’s movies, they never made me genuinely excited. Not until I read about his latest movie “You Don’t Mess With The Zohan” - just the title alone is funny enough. And it’s also the first time that I think anyone has ever used a movie to satirise the subject of the animosity between Israel and the Arab world.

From the excellent write-up in the New York Times about how the movie came to be:

About eight years ago Mr. Sandler conceived of the Zohan character, an Israeli assassin who has been trained to hate and kill Arabs; exhausted by the ceaseless bloodshed, he fakes his own death and flees to New York to become a hairdresser. There he finds Jews and Arabs living together in grudging if not quite harmonious tolerance.

Intrigued, I searched for the trailer and bloody hell it’s funny and it’s got a message to boot. Some people on both sides of the argument will probably get offended by this but I don’t think it’s more offensive than the realities on the ground. I think that it’s good that this will make people laugh and also stop and think a little.

My friend Kitty introduced me to “Happy Bunny” last night. It’s a creation by Jim Benton. Happy Bunny has a lot of sayings like,

• Cute but psycho. Things even out.
• Just not a shit giver, I guess.
• You’re ugly and that’s sad.

A kind blogger even compiled a big list of more Funny Bunny sayings.

Jim’s also created some for an anti-drug campaign in America:

• Vomit everywhere - just one of the things you can do with the help of alcohol.
• Meth. Finally a simple way to become a twitchy idiot in no time.

The words alone are humourous enough. Tacked on a seemingly cute bunny, and it becomes awesome. Heh. And it’s so sardonic. I love it.
