Package Thief Gets A Taste of His Own Medicine
You know who does this a lot? The people who post flyers on your door.
That's great. I never knew people actually went around stealing peoples packages, but I guess... of course they would~!
This turned out the best way I think. Perpetrators caught; no one hurt in the exchange.
The Mountain learns true power from champion armwrestler
If only he had a hat he could turn backwards, like a switch.
He should have tried Rambo's move of lifting each finger one at a time and putting them back down again. That seems to work for him in the secret world of underground truck-driver arm wrestling rings.
How to drift a bathtub on a Hillclimb Race!
Next year, he'll probably race a toilet.
South Korea and US held a massive military exercise
I waited... but no Godzilla?!
Bike Rider Braves a Mob of Locals
I guess ideally you'd want a way to scare the kangaroos (a gun with blanks?) so they'd avoid humans in the future as it's generally healthier for animals (and hitchbots) to avoid people.
How to make a Hattori Hanzō katana (Kill Bill): Man at Arms
Interesting, but they might have messed up the process. I think the blade should be straight until they quench it after claying. The curve of the blade is a product of the different shrinking between the hard steel outer edge and the soft core, which is why it's so perfectly curved when done in the traditional manner.
Neither Rain Nor Snow Nor Tour De France.....
After the whole taxi incident, it seems like the French government isn't terribly well organized.
What happens when you park in a handicap spot in Brazil
Would have been "funnier" if the guy had showed up with his leg in a cast. As someone who was handicapped for a year and a half, I don't think we need vigilantes enforcing the parking code. (I also think we ought to have two levels of handicap parking, one for people who can walk and one for those who can't)
Awesome catch by the bear
Hopefully that was in a zoo. If not, that bear now equates humans with food(even if it's not eating one) and will likely have to be put down. The kindest thing you can do for a wild animal is make it fear humans. It would have been better for the bear if the woman had sprayed bear mace in it's face(not that I'd recommend that).
Uwe Boll Takes His Ball and Goes Home
He could use a Shia Labeouf pep-talk.
Chinese Couples vs. Western Couples
Personally traits have nothing to due with it, the video has two messages the first, funny message, is that yes there is a difference between the traits of westerners and Chinese people. The second, racist message, is that western couples don't actually love each other.
The video shows all the Chinese personality quarks as good natured ways the couple loves each other, such as sharing food, and the man sacrificing his money. The "western" people are shown in a relationship where they don't trust each other such as the man calling his SO a "b*tch" and spending all their money behind her back.
Think for a second, what of the video had been made about African Americans? would that be okay? (No it would not)
That's patently false. It's not racist to depict true personality traits that are popular or common in a culture.
I've witnessed many American couples on many occasions discuss and demonstrate their disapproval about sharing their food. The best example that my wife and I often laugh about was an older couple where the wife was reaching over to pick at something small (maybe a french fry) and the husband with a scowl completely seriously and angrily slapped the back of her hand to stop her.
No, not all westerners or Americans would do such a thing, nor do all have a problem with their partner picking at their food, but that's because there isn't ANYTHING that EVERYONE of ANY race does, except breathe and poop, but it is a common thing in this culture.
Chinese Couples vs. Western Couples
If it were just a matter of tastes I would agree with you. BUT there is a very racist message in the video that "western" people are not as capable of love as fully as Chinese people.
I disagree, for the same reasons as Jerry Seinfeld:

I think that especially in the US, people feel this need to justify their normally diverse reactions to things with concrete "causes". They don't like things because they are "sexist" or "racist", or because they are "passive aggressive" or whatever. Bust most of the time, we just like or dislike things because it either DOES or DOES NOT resonate with us individually on a personal level.
All the rationalizing can maybe help us as individuals figure out why we like/dislike the things we do, but it seems like we Americans have some tendency to assume our tastes are (or should be) universal.
...Not that my opinion on this topic is any more (or less) valid than yours.
Chinese Couples vs. Western Couples
It's blatantly racist, incorporating the straw-man logical fallacy to effect propaganda . From the second the Caucasian called his wife a "B*tch" it message was "Chinese people are better at loving one another." Frankly, I was surprised the western wife didn't end up a women's shelter with a black eye, or worse.
Tormund Giantsbane Demonstrates How to Shave Off A Beard
This was filmed before season 5, So...
So... his character has been killed off I take it?
Lion feels earth & grass beneath his feet for the 1st time!
Why is it that animal rights people always feel the need to add overpoweringly schmaltzy soundtracks to everything? I'd rather just hear the lion.
