Video Sharing

[TessB]

I thought maybe we'd like a place to share interesting or funny videos we've stumbled upon. Please keep the links fun and entertaining. And of course no porn.... PM each other with those.

Here's one that actually teaches you something interesting.
I can't wait to buy a banana and try it!

I love this one, the kids are so darn cute. And, I am a sucker for kids with accents. The baby in this one just smiles so much.

That's awesome about the banana, I think there was something about that on yahoo news the last week. How interesting.

That was really cute.
I have to agree about the accents.
And their expressions and Charlie's laughter is priceless.

I should have had a bit of a look before starting my own thread

I've never really had as much trouble peeling bananas as that video seems to depict, but I do like my bananas ripe - when they reach the leopard-spotted stage, they're perfect for me, and the stalk usually breaks over really easily, taking a strip of skin with it.

Peeling from the blossom end is certainly an interesting technique, but then there's also the problem of what to do with that little pointy bit of dark stuff - monkeys most likely just eat it, but I expect most humans won't want to. If you peel from the stalk end, the dark thing just gets left in the skin when you're done.

This could have been a really long post, I do video editing so watch a load of stuff so here's some recent ones:

Ar*e Another Fast Show sketch.
Top Gear in Alabama No offence to our US cousins.

How adorable! He loves that trampoline huh? What a cute smile.

Ah thank you, he's a nightmare to keep clean though, typical boy, but you can forgive because he's always smiling.

Lol, built in self defense. I think little boys have a dirt magnet in them.

And here's one of a project my boys did over the holidays.

and the out-takes

Good idea, think i'll trie this with my kids next year, different theme though, that's a bit violent for kids.

 

[Fifty2One]

Rather shocking seeing more children with guns then fostering peaceful activities - but I guess if they can not be trained to be violent at home then you would have to send them to a camp to learn violence like the talaban do.

You know I don't see it as much different to how we used to play as kids. We played "Japs and Commando's" and "Cowboys and Indians". Nobody filmed us playing them, but we carried the guns just the same.

The eldest two in the movie are old enough to have made up their minds to join the Army Cadets, if that is their interest, why should we instil our fears on them by banning them from finding out more?

Would I be pleased if my grandson went off to Afghanistan to fight terrorists? No, I'd be worried sick, but if it was his decision, and nobody had talked him into it, I'd stand by that decision. There are worse things a person can do in life.

Again, if you watched the movie, the children had a huge say in what it would be about, they liked the idea of fighting against drug dealers and that the good guys should win in the end. It was their decision that the people fighting against the drug dealer would be the goodies.

The project kept them occupied for most of the holiday and that's not an easy task to undertake for seven weeks.

Next one should be "Boys against Terrorists" filmed at the local airport

 

[Fifty2One]

Playing "Cowboys and Indians" is only a good and fair game to be proud of if you are one of the "Cowboys". But I can now understand where the justification of glorifying the violence comes from and why it would be permitted by someone claiming to be a witch.
Why dont they fight against the drug dealers who sell addictive drugs like tobacco and alcohol... or would that be considered terrorism because it is your own government also turning a profit from those sales.
I am sure some people in Afghanistan are justifying their childrens training by the talliban with similar logic.

Oh dear, I really didn't think that children playing "war type" games was such a huge issue. They aren't "training" at this stage, obviously once they start at the Army Cadets it will be a different story, but we tend to look on it more as learning about life in general. I highly suspect that a few weeks in the Army Cadets will banish all thoughts of going to war, and I don't think we glorify war, very far from it. In fact whenever we see tv footage of the devestation left at the homes of those left behind when a soldier gets killed we record it for the kids to see, so they will understand that not only does this happen to families in the uk but also to those in the countries in which they are fighting. Nobody wins in war, we all, as adults, know that. Children must play and explore their own conscience, and be allowed to make their own, unbiased opinions and decisions when they grow up.

As I say, I see no harm, we played such games as children and our family of six didn't produce a single service man/woman nor murderer, in fact, we all grew up to be the opposite. Just because they made a movie that shows them playing with guns does not mean they will grow up to use them. Sheltering people from life does not arm them with the insight to make strong judgements in maturity. Childhood should be about playing (role play) and fun should be had while doing it. If they weren't doing this they would probably have spent the summer playing similar games on the playstation.

I concur Oumahexi. I have always been against sheltering children from what the real world has to offer. When they learn about things like drugs and guns outside of the home, that's when there are issues. But if you teach them the difference between fantasy and reality and you control the situation, there are no problems.

I grow tired of the number of parents blaming tv, music, video games, school, etc... on their own child's actions. Just because your child didn't know the difference between a game and real life, doesn't mean it's the games fault. I'm not saying it's always the parent's fault, but if more parents spent time with their children to do projects like this, they would be able to control what exactly they are learning and see any warning signs of problems that could arise.

I mean come on! There are guns and weapons in cartoons! I used to love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and G.I.Joe!

They also got to learn about special effects and a bit of computing into the bargain, I thought it was a great project all round for them, they now realise just how the blood gets put into movies (after a fashion ) and that nobody gets hurt in movies, but that's not reality.

These children live in a high drug rate area so it's important for them to know that drugs are not bad, I'm glad they chose that particular theme.

And what exactly does Wile E Keyote do if it's not infict violence? Oh, and Tom and Jerry!!

Great fun

Thanks Rich
