A strong dose of oh so self-righteous Christianity, I'm sure. Didn't you know that the Bible warns of Robot Cartoons? Turns out, Satan, ya, actually a Decepticon.

Blind faith and ignorant hypocricy make for interesting bed fellows, producing lots of broken records, usually sound a little inbred too.

Let's see, Bible and Christianity, the very bloody story of "good" vs "evil". Transformers, uh, a very oily and violent depiction (unless compared to the bible) of "good" vs "evil".

Fuckin' douche-bags. These are the types of Christians who want to save kids from cartoons and abortions just to imprison and execute them if they're bad and ship them off to war if they're good.

"The Greatest Enemy of Knowledge is Not Ignorance, It is the ILLUSION of Knowledge. Stephen Hawking"

Astoundingly Amazing 3D Street Art

"The Greatest Enemy of Knowledge is Not Ignorance, It is the ILLUSION of Knowledge. Stephen Hawking"

That is just fantastic isn't it. Makes you wonder about our perceptions of reality.

Julian Beever makes an interesting comment on Art being a valuable, collectible, object for investment and museums.

Clearly the start of the video shows evidence of sponsorship and funding. But by taking the art out of the galleries and putting it literally back onto the street and at the feet of the public, some interesting things occur.

And only one of which is to marvel at the sheer complexity of the work, the time it took to complete, and is then presumably erased (and as an object d'art is symbolically devalued). Thereby mocking the lasting value and permanence of objects, and by implication everything else, including our very lives.
We are simultaneously facinated as much by the impermanence of his artwork (subconsciously reminiscent of our own mortality) as by the skill of the artist himself.

Here is something very uplifting. I give you "Bulletball".

"The Greatest Enemy of Knowledge is Not Ignorance, It is the ILLUSION of Knowledge. Stephen Hawking"

oooooh, ouch,
the experience of rejection big-time!
how is this uplifting, please explain...

In one word, facetious

Otherwise, its uplifting because I am not him. Or perhaps because it makes you want to uplift a razor blade to your wrist.

Ask Sorceress, the Brits claim Americans don't understand sarcasm, I'm wondering if they meant South Africans.

When you tell us you are being sarcastic we can understand what you're on about, just the problem that everyone comes across it that there is no way of telling when looking at what is written whether or not it's supposed to be sarcastic.

I jut couldn't watch that clip, you knew from the moment that he said how much he'd put into it that it was going to be just too cringeworthy.

"So Schrodinger's Cat is not only neither dead nor alive, but might also be sexually aroused by elbows and peanut butter?"

eeeeuw, Ironwood! ...for adding sarcasm to bigtime rejection, and then talking razorblades too.

If we can't laugh about life, then pass me the razor blades.

Idon't think I said that Brits don't understand sarcasm,, I said I generally don't, regardless of whether it's Americans or not. Anyway, I couldn't watch it either, I got as far as him saying it was his point the third time and I just new he was for it, apart from anything else I thought what a God awful boring game!!

I actually cannot watch that program or any of those types of programs, including Pop Idol, Apprentice, and that Super Model one, I just cannot watch them I get too embaraced and emotional for the people involved.

@ Ironwood: I suppose the sarcasm should be obvious when you watch it, but like sorceress I found it just to embarrassing, especially when the guy being focused on is one of those particular breed of Americans whose over excitement is so irritating to someone like me who exhibits the "typically British" emotional reserve.

And sorceress, Ironwood said that you had said that the Americans don't understand sarcasm not that the British don't.

"So Schrodinger's Cat is not only neither dead nor alive, but might also be sexually aroused by elbows and peanut butter?"

And here is another cringe-worthy video. But sans sarcasm, this one is really pitiful! (razorblades to be handed out at the end of the ride) ...Enjoy.

Actually, no, this is what I said.

And now ladies and gentlemen, after watching the previous cringe-worthy's
(featuring some big-time male cock-up's) …
..I bring you girl power, hehehe.
This one is truly uplifting! She is a real beauty and her winning is all about heart. Just watch her sock it to'em all (shes the one with the pretty white blaze). See how she holds her own against all odds.
