Bush in 30-seconds
This is just hilarious! My wife first told me about this a few days ago, and I finally found it -- it is a political advertising contest that aims to challenge the perception of Bush by Americans, especially since the mass media in America is very complacement when it comes to the presidency -- since 9/11, Bush can't seem to be able to do anything wrong in their eyes, even though he's managed to do just about everything wrong. Check out the 30-second video ads on the site.
The first chef
First came fire ... and then, as the camera shifts to the soon to be late-village idiot, you're left wondering -- just what was going through that mind -- and food is put on the fire, for the first time, and cooking is accidentally discovered by humanity. The first chef is ridiculed by grunts, then the local thug tries a sample of the burnt carcass, and soon, everybody gets queued at the McDonalds drive-thru. What happened? Richard Wrangham of Harvard believes there's more to cooking than evolutionary history would have you believe. Wrangham points out that there is no way homo sapiens could survive on just raw food. Raw food just doesn't give up calories as easily as cooked food -- and raw food makes the digestive system expend more energy to get at those calories. Cooking on the other hand breaks complex molecules down, allowing the digestive system to make easy work of them -- and cooking also softens food, allowing the body to get to the calories with less effort...
