version of a music video of the song "My Favourite Game" by The Cardigans.

UnCensored:


Censored:


I like the Cardigans' songs. I'm not a fan of anyone but I happen to like what some people do. and I was spreading that like to a guy (in a way) I know. since sending youtube links worked better in that context, I did just that.

The initial search produced a video with the word "Uncensored" boldly in the title. I was intrigued.Wnat could there be to censor? We had to find out.

was the reckless driving? the running people over? the running over of Americans in an American car while spelling the song title in British English?

it's worth watching through the whole thing twice just to find out.

The "censored" version doesn't actually say that it's a censored version... it's just.... the less funny one.... Make you think that abusing the term "Uncensored" to make something look more interesting or taboo should be a capital offence....

>>cue rock music and women in very tight and very frayed jean boyshorts and large fake tits in bras cut out in the star spangled banner.

This something I though of a while ago when all that business in "Eye-Rak" was going on and words like "fallujah tikrit mossul" were considered hot stuff by news anchors.

And recently I saw this:



Let us assume that poster was most definitely made by an American. This is obviously some attempt to get back at the usual "american women are fat, europeans are hot" type gag. The chicks on the left are actually the Europeans.

Now, possibly, that outline on the right is the South American continent. And the one on the left (and that is much worse) is only Texas. First conclusion, Americans suck at geography. Not just international but local as well.

It may sound like a stereotype, but all stereotypes have a certain amount of truth to them.

For the Average Typical American, the world is divided as follows: his town, his state, New York aka the centre of the world, the U.S.A aka the whole of America which is found on the periphery of the centre of the world, Canada and its homosexuals at the top, Mexico and its aliens beneath. and that strange and mysterious country called Foreign (state code: FN). (props to Douglas Adams for this Foreign bit)

It was probably observed by American leaders in the first world war, that the Average Typical American opened up a bit to the rest of the world. A faraway place that's being bombed to bits and has fellow americans dying in it is always more interesting that just a faraway place with little bombing and only the inhabitants of Foreign getting blown up.

And this paved the way for a new and exciting method of teaching international geography to the Great American Nation:

Wars.

>>cue some dramatical music. the stuff from Pearl Harbor will do ok.

Now, there is a great deal more of Foreign respective to New York so the US leaders made the wise decision not to wage war against the whole of it at the same time. It wasn't that it would be tactically difficult, at least not from the point of New Yorkers, it was only that the amount of geographical information would be far too great to assimilate in one go.

The US leaders even more wisely decided to go by the also wise and time and again proven principles of Jeopardy. Whereby the small and insignificant bits of trivia are the one that make you richer.

For this reasons, seemingly small and insignificant parts of Foreign like Cuba, Grenada or Vietnam are chosen to be warred at and maximise the geographical moola.

It hasn't been totally successful though. I still have no idea where the Balkans are. probably because Clinton was a democrat.

Notes:
- All of the above may be true. satire may not be intended.
- American is a misnomer. they should be called USAians.
- I only wrote all this because I needed something to write on xanga...
- It is commonly thought that all major military conflicts the United Stares have been involved in in the past century have been orchestrated by screenwriters so that they could have some real life background to include in their stories. This could also be true
- If you live in a small remote part of Foreign, beware, you could be the next military target of the USAians and their New Yorkers.

I just forgot to put sugar in my tea/coffee/strange and exotic brew I have the (unhealthy by some opinions) habit of drinking.

It tasted... well, different. though not bad at all. It then struck me that I had completely forgotten what sugarless hot drinks tasted like. Incredible. but true. It should be truly terrifying how we simply seem to forget the little things. But it's not. Which is perfectly acceptable in modern conventional society.

A study reveals that such incidents are fairly common occurrences and cause the death of 3,457.58 americans every time a phone rings in New Hampshire. Of course, there is, in all likelihood, no such study. I just made that up to have something totally random and seemingly witty in this entry. If however it does exist, well, if you are american, you should be extremely worried you get caught in the trailing .58 dead american. being half dead is bad enough. but .58 dead is a whole .08 closer to dead that most would like to be.

but back to the tea and milk; The experience was interesting. But not that interesting to warrant further sipping, so I simply added some sugar.

That is all.
