The Ebay Song

To those who know the Backstreet Boys Single, "I want it that way" will know that this song apply to many aspects in our lives. Humans are domineering creatures and we want many things to be done "our way".

So, Weird Al apparently took the initiative to make a remake of this song into for contractual purposes to be done in Ebay. This video that I am about to show you has hit 17 million views in Youtube and the views are still climbing due to its humorous interpretation.



Who says that the Backstreet Boys could only sing love songs?

Which Cola Do You Prefer?

Do you like Pepsi? Or Coke? Pepsi has been trying their utmost best to defeat Coca-Cola at this marketing game. At some times, they get fed up and they want everyone to start drinking Pepsi overnight. They turn into desperadoes who want a larger share in the soft drink market and designed a commercial that is wild, shocking and extremely humorous.

It is all about a small boy with plain innocence who stars in this commercial. Frankly speaking, I am not sure if he is really rich after shooting for this commercial. Who knows? He may be a millionaire now?

Take a look:



Maybe you have seen this commercial before but I just want to highlight to you that Pepsi is still trying their best to defeat Coco-Cola, Dr Peppers and the other cola drinks by asking world-famous celebrities to star in their commercials. It doesn't matter one bit if you are an Asian or a European. It is only important if you are famous. David Beckham, Britney and Beyonce have all joined the Pepsi Fan Club.

I do love Pepsi too. But, why do I have to give up Coke for Pepsi? Having an alternative is better, right? After all, they taste different?

Boots Is A Murderer!

Do you like Dora the Explorer? She is a rather famous Nickelodeon character for educating young children. While we sure don't require a mascot or some sort, "Dora the Explorer" has clearly shown that there is a reason why adults spend much money on their children. Never heard of Dora before? Take a look here:

Why Dora seems so interesting is that she is able to converse with a Monkey who can be declared to be just as intelligent as herself. This monkey (her sidekick in the show) is also known as "Boots". Why I am putting this post up today is because I feel the need to highlight the violent aspects of our educational characters. Some sick mind (maybe like mine) decided to go put up a totally different Dora show that will make children cry. You don't understand what I mean? Just look at this 8 second video:



Go up to Youtube today and make a simple search for Dora the explorer. You should see many videos that are linked to violence, gunfire and expletives. While I am not trying to sound like some jerk here, you need to know that our education system is simply evolving. And this evolution is not due to the changes which are made by our respective governments. It is more like we are stepping into the minefield without knowing it. All of us are making major changes by browsing the internet!

Almost anything can be found online and this has caused several adjustments in our lives. I mean, why do you bother to go to the Library to find out more about elephants when you just need to do a basic search on Google? Similarly, I need to say that we are exposing our children to more trouble without realizing it. This is probably serious. But, hey, there is still a need for entertainment for people (like me)?

Crap, I better end this post before I start to contradict myself again. Anyway, Kudos to the person who made the video. It is not encouraged to post up such videos with such graphic content. But, I got to admit, he is freakin' talented.

Political Runway

I was searching for new stuff online that would be really interesting to you and it seems that I did hit the Jackpot when I was itching for some hot political debates. This video below just demonstrates another way of people mispronouncing. It can get pretty irritating sometimes but I rather let the video do the talking this time.


In my opinion, this is one of the best videos in Youtube. By the way, I found the picture of Youtube's headquarters. Take a look:

Youtube's headquarters look pretty domineering. I wonder if I have the chance to work here someday.

Hey, doesn't Youtube's headquarters remind you of a certain reputable political building?

Fugu, Fugu, Fugu

Is it worth getting killed over eating your favorite dish?

I am talking about a dish that is related to Japanese Cuisine. For the visitors who are still unfamiliar with Fugu, I can tell you that it is a horrific nightmare.

Fugu is a Pufferfish dish that is favored by most of the Japanese people. Not only it is ridiculously expensive, the Fugu is an extremely dangerous fish to eat.

The Japanese chefs who are trained to prepare this dish have to undergo a training for three years for safety measures. Unfortunately, there are still people who died after eating it.



Talk about being crazy about fish. The question that is probably burning will be "If everyone wants to eat a dangerous fish, why hasn't someone concentrated on finding a cure for the Pufferfish venom?"

It's all the researchers/scientists fault. We are all afraid of enjoying the delicious Fugu because someone hasn't found a cure yet!

The thing about Fugu is that the whole Pufferfish can be enjoyed in an eight course meal. Most Japanese people like their Fugu raw. I admit that I don't have the guts to try Fugu, I do like my fish raw. Salmon and tuna sashimi works for me anytime.

diet coke + mentos

For the people who still don't know that the addition of mentos to diet coke has a severe chemical reaction, I have added a clip to this blog for you all to see what will happened exactly. The way the guy just keep drinking the diet coke just shows his perseverance in trying to show his love for science. For over 9 million view in Youtube, this guy's sacrifice is worthy. But, it sure does look painful.

There are many people who added their mentos + coke = disaster movies. This bald guy suggested adding a twist by swallowing several mentos at one go before he gulps down several mouthfuls of coke. How should I put it? You do sympathize for this guy for his bravery and stupidity at the same time? However, one thing is for sure, he did provide some real entertainment.

Crazy Indian Video

Indians are clever people. I didn't imagine that they are trying to convey hidden messages in this video:

Harry Potter And The Sex-Education Coach

Can you imagine what will happen when a teacher has to step into Hogwarts one day to teach the students all about the birds and the bees? What will Dumbledore say about this?

Take a look at this video to find out what happened to Harry and his friends on the first day with his teacher who is supposed to teach him about sexual education:



The best part of this clip is at 0.33 - 0.35 when Hermione stares at Neville regarding about unwanted pregnancies.

Just Love Eating Food Raw

I always envy the Japanese not only because they have beautiful girls, but Japan is probably the country that serves the best food in the world!

Maybe everyone will give me another country when I ask them for exquisite cuisine. For the people who like elegance will give me "France" and maybe someone will tell me "China" when they do want to experience a whole range of dishes in a banquet.

For me, I like my food raw. Therefore, Japan will be the one that offers the best cuisine. The only issue that irritates me is my IBS symptoms. For those people who don't know, IBS refers to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I enjoy taking raw food even if I do need to flush out my bowels subsequently.

True. There are many instances where people dislike raw food because it resembles cannibalism (or whatsoever). Some people just like the taste. But, the Japanese like raw food because

1) It tastes good with wasabi.
2) It delivers the health benefits it promises.

Many people say that raw food is just absolutely disgusting. I think I know how they feel. If you don't get what I mean, take a look at this video to find out:



See the part where the guy just swallows the bloody, beating heart? Honestly, I am no animal rights activist but I got to agree that this is simply disgusting.

Waiting For Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder is the next big movie I want to watch. Not only it boasts of the part which Ben Stiller is acting (and directing the movie), Robert Downey Jr is acting as well!

Let me see...

I can't forget Ben Stiller in "The Night At The Museum". Robert Downey Jr obviously made it to the top with the marvel movie "Ironman" and Jack Black still fascinates me with his animal role in "Kung Fu Panda". Three fantastic comedy actors in this movie? I definitely want to watch this.

Tropic Thunder has already received great anticipation from audiences who appreciate comedy. I really hope this movie doesn't disappoint me - as I don't really fancy war movies.

Tropic Thunder speaks about the memoirs of three soldiers who are in the Vietnam War.I haven't read the synopsis on the movie so this is pretty much everything I know if I have to sum it up in one sentence.

In my opinion, although Ben Stiller is rather short, I must admit that he is really talented. Once I watched this movie, I will be back to post a review.

Dark Knight Trailer Spoof

If you haven't watch *The Dark Knight*, you should go watch it. Sometimes, we just cannot figure out why some people like to make fun of the many details in the movie. If you have watched the Dark Knight already, I think you would know the way Christian Bale deals with his speech is absolutely disturbing. This is just one video that really made me laugh:



Furthermore, it was this trailer that really made many people think that the Dark Knight is some sort of a comedy movie. The Evil Iguana productions team is absolutely talented.

Pigs Getting Married

My girlfriend is pressurizing me to get married. And now, here is a picture which might just depict how my marriage might look like.



I am kind of worried because it isn't that sort of typical marriage. But, it is one that is full of soft toy piggies. Anyway, I am not quite ruined yet. Just hope that National Service doesn't kill me.

When Is The Next Marvel Movie?

I am not a cartoon fan. However, isn't it just great when you can see all the superheroes lining up in a movie to battle against one another? Or maybe the directors can make a Justice League movie.

With reference to the latest Ironman, it seems that the Marvel has decided to move in and implement the latest "Avengers' Initiate". We are supposed to see many of our favorite marvel characters really soon. I must say, that I am pretty excited.

Looking for a substitute to keep my cravings for these kind of superheroes movies in check, I stumbled upon this:



And Part 2 is right here:

What I Think Of "Ironman" The Movie

Ironman is Marvel’s next big movie. Robert Downey Jr plays the role of Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist who is kidnapped by Afghanistan terrorists who threaten to kill him unless he builds a powerful missile for them.

In a desperate attempt to escape the terrorists, Stark builds a powerful exoskeletal armour suit that is able to protect him from various dangers such as gunfire and explosions. Besides that, his armor is able to shoot projectiles and act as a flamethrower to burn his enemies. After that, he improves his armor and swears to use it to save the world.

As compared to the rest of Marvel’s action flicks, this movie is different as Stark does not have any special abilities on his own. Ironman is a character that is portrayed as a hero who struggles to obtain his abilities. His superhero abilities are derived from his special suit. The movie conveys a clear message that it is possible to achieve your goal if you are determined enough – as the movie shows Stark’s humorous trial and error process as he made his suit.

The movie lacks action at the beginning and it is pretty understandable for the fact that it needs to show the introduction of the superhero. But, the action becomes more obvious in the later parts of the movie. As expected, the trailer gave away too much of the movie with Jeff Bridges playing “Ironmonger” – as the villain. The bad part of this movie is that it does not really seem to fall in place with the rest of the announced sequels by Marvel. For that, it seems that the future sequels will have an abrupt introduction of the ultimate villain Ironman needs to face.

Marvel promised the sequels to be displaying Stark’s alcoholism problem. This jolts me in thinking that it is a real problem that people face currently. Therefore, it comes to me that it will be interesting to watch him deal with a factual problem in the sequels. Honestly, I am quite tired of watching other superheroes deal with problem that deal with romance.

Currently, the movie really made me reminisce about my childhood. This was the reason why I went to dig for the opening of the previous Ironman. It’s a rather short opening but it really did contain all the heroic and masculine aspects of Ironman itself.



While testosterone was certainly not the key to fighting villains with magical powers, this video just proved that it is impossible for a guy to handle his company and his muscles at the same time.
