Hmmm. As long as we are exploiting the children…

Here is Cory Elliott from Auckland, New Zealand getting his dance on to Beyonce’s Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) (which has been viewed 75 MILLION times). By comparison, Cory’s video has only been viewed a paltry 4 million times.

Well, then again, Cory is only about a year old. So I guess we can forgive it the lack of attention just this one time. Even though dancing babies are all the rage. Though I do wonder… when Cory grows up, will he brag about this?

You know, people often tell me that I’m a terrible influence, and frequently warn me when I’m around the kiddos to watch my mouth. But I’ll have you know that I had nothing to do with supplying this kiddo with booze and smokes!

Even though Kim Jong Il is a horrible commie dictator (emphasis on the “dic” part), those damn little Korean kids can sure put on a show!

I still think the South Korean sports fans are cooler, mostly because they do this just because they want to. Not because they are glorifying their “great father” or something. But whatever, either way these folks have to put in a LOT of practice to pull this off. So enjoy the fruits of their labor!

This is far too funny not to share.

Ok, there has been a lot of bad financial news lately, and it can be a real downer and a non-productive waste of time to worry about it. Instead, I would like to focus on some organizations who are using their power for AWESOME and who demonstrate that the power to do good is stronger than the power to do bad. (Keeping in mind that not all charities are good.)

When we focus on what is most important we can make a real difference, so to get us started, here is a little video to put things in perspective. For any of you who have not yet seen it, it starts sad and then makes you truly grateful for what you have by demonstrating the power we really do have over the world around us.

I saw this kid in the DFW airport coming out of the customs area. Apparently he was coming back from a European vacation, and let me tell you what… this kid knows how to travel in style!

I wonder what it would cost to get someone to just push me around everywhere I want to go so I don’t have to walk?

I’ve written several times about Taser abuse, but this one takes the cake. I mean seriously, this cannot be explained.

An unarmed 16 year old boy laying on the ground, below a 30 foot overpass, with a broken back and a broken foot muttering incoherently is tasered 19 times by police in Missouri. Their excuse:

“He refused to comply with the officers and so the officers had to deploy their Tasers in order to subdue him. He is making incoherent statements; he’s also making statements such as, ‘Shoot cops, kill cops,’ things like that. So there was cause for concern to the officers,” said Ozark Police Capt. Thomas Rousset.

So, let’s imagine how this went down shall we?

Boy with broken back: Lays on ground, immobile.
Cop: Get up.
Boy with broken back: mumble, mumble
Cop: Get up or I’ll Tase you.
Boy with broken back: You’re a cop, please don’t shoot me or I’ll probably die.
Cop: Did you say something about killing cops? Well, here’s a little something for ya…

I’ve just got one question. After this kid gets going as fast as this weed-eater motor can power him… how does he stop?

Miley Cyrus (daughter of the Achy Brakey Heart Billy Ray Cyrus guy), also known as Hanna Montana, is well on her way to becoming the next Paris Hilton. This girl is 15 years old, but she’s already got photos of her floating around the Internet in her underwear, hanging all over her boyfriend, and in a bikini posing as sexy as she possibly can.

Its funny because if you visit her unbelievably annoying web site, it’s all bling-ed out like a Disney animation. Meanwhile, she’s romping around taking photos like she’s a 15 year old prostitute. Wonder how much more it will take before Disney drops her like a dirty rag?

This is actually pretty amazing, if it isn’t staged (and it doesn’t look like it is). For those of you who are unaware, in Google Maps you now have the option in many cities to check out a Street View of the map you’re looking at, which will allow you to see whatever you would see if you were standing in that position.

The way they accomplish this is by having a specially fitted fleet of cars that have 360 degree cameras driving all over the place taking pictures. Once in a while they capture something really interesting. This is one of those times.

I’m a big fan of Kansas and love the song Carry On Wayward Son. Obviously the song is a classic. It’s got some serious guitar work, drums, keyboard… well it’s got just about everything a good old rock band needs. Except, that is, a 10 year old girl!

Luckily I’ve got just the prescription for them.

I wish I knew something else about the little girl in the following video, but what I do know is that she pretty much plays every instrument in this song on a Yamaha keyboard all at the same time! At times while I’m watching it I seriously wonder if she is really playing it, but it’s far too good of an act not to be for real.

Ok. The first time I took a look at this I thought it was insane. Who in their right mind would let a kid take a high powered dune buggy and drive it flat out like a maniac? I mean, for God’s sake the guy has to put a couple of massive blocks of foam in the seat just so the kid can sit there!

But then again, when you watch what this kid can do with that dune buggy I suppose it might not be that crazy after all. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t hop in and do this.
