Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Conspiracy, Publishing, Touchy Subjects, VideoThe BBC explains black flag (aka false flag) operations.
Other False Flag ops: The Gulf of Tonkin, Reichstag Fire, Operation Northwoods, 9-11, and to some degree the Lusitania, Gulf I, and Pearl Harbor. We baited the enemy in the latter 3 cases.
Do I believe all of these? Not sure. But the video certainly makes you think about the lies the government makes to justify world policy.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Publishing, VideoThanks to Nalts I think I finally get Renetto! Watch Being Renetto Part 1 and Part 2 to understand his genius. But I am still at a bit of a loss over Mr. Pregnant.
Update: Nalts explains. And Renetto plug the Nalts video with a teaser. And yes the joke pulls in the family. Renetto is Paul Robinett.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Of Interest, Touchy Subjects, VideoMaybe Evan will be breastfeeding at eight years old (video interview of a woman and her children who breastfeed at 8 and 5). One commenter claims this was aired on television:
This was on TV some time ago. You see everything is soo expensive in the UK now. Its rip off britain and milk is expensive too, so its all a big money save. We’re a bit weired over this side of the pond!
It is well produced but I cannot find any other sources to the video so it conceivably could be a spoof. Another comment says it was TLC or Discovery and that the children have never been away from mom for more than 5 minutes.
Maybe he will stop breastfeeding after he is married.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Publishing, VideoI am sure all Sports Racers feel a great sadness with the end of The Show. I know I personally can quit watching the Internet now. What will Ze do?! You can’t build an empire and just disappear.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Publishing, VideoDo you dance with the Crazy Frog? January 5, 2007 9:55 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Amy, Daily Life, Evan, Family, Publishing, VideoAre you familiar with The Annoying Thing? If not, you should watch the Crazy Frog Axel F video (2m 51s). Noah fell in love with this video a year ago and played it over and over and over. He’d get his boogie on and bounce, smile huge and laugh! Turns out The Annoying Thing has been highly marketed. There are music cds. There are all sizes of stuffed animals and animatronics. There are karoke microphones and radios. There are games and pencils and books. This Crazy Frog is a crazy phenomena.
In 1997, 17-year-old Swede Daniel Malmedahl recorded himself impersonating the sounds produced by internal combustion engines. …
In late-2000, Malmedahl’s fellow Swede Erik Wernquist encountered the sound effect and was inspired to create the 3D animation “The Annoying Thing” to accompany it. …
In 2004, the Germany based Jamba! group (ultimately owned by VeriSign) licensed the animation and sound for distribution as a mobile phone ringtone. …

As a parent, toys with noise become evil. Acid leaking batteries abound and are hidden away for years in unsuspecting places. A burning desire for a simple wooden toy or anything that does not have an on/off switch develops and such toys become legend and things of myth. Even puzzles and books squawk, squeak, and talk to you now. Much to my wife’s chagrin, I like to walk through the toy store and simultaneously set off as many as possible of those obnoxious dolls with the tags that plead "try me now!" Nothing brings more pleasure than seeing an whole aisle of bouncing, gibbering furballs. Secretly I know that some parent will thank me when it goes silent just a little sooner than it would have otherwise. What you as a parent may not know, and I only found out a few days ago, is that those toys are (rather could be) operating in "demo" mode and that if you look near the battery compartment under the fur, you may find a switch that really turns the toy on for more fun, longer and varied annoying noises.
I can see my kids producing a video like these guys! There are some tasteless people out there in those comments. Online people should seriously follow the rule of "if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all."
