Cute kid recounts Commando in ill-conceived campaign
This is a video of a very cute boy describing the plot of Commando. Now the boy is adorable, and I'm preconditioned to like the video because I love the movie (the mall in the movie is the one I hung out in as a child - - it's since been completely torn down and rebuilt).
But.
The video is the first in a series called "Stop the pity. Unlock the Potential." The point of the campaign is to make people stop thinking of "war" and "genocide" when they think of Africa.
A video of a young boy totally enraptured by an extremely violent movie is probably not going to get the job done.
They couldn't find a cute kid that liked a Disney movie?

2. You can officially not be jealous of Tom Brady. Here's why Gisele Bundchen does not wear sunscreen:
'I cannot put this poison on my skin,' the 30-year-old said. 'I do not use anything synthetic.'

3. How to use humor to defuse difficult situations.
We have always used the sea for transport. But shipping has changed dramatically in half a century, and not always for the better. With containerisation, the days of romantic shore leave are long gone. In the dizzying pace of a highly competitive industry, a vast container ship can be loaded and unloaded in 24 hours. Before, an officer told me, he would wonder whether he had time for dinner. Now he doesn’t know if he has time to get a newspaper.2. Lewis & Clark Law School has a job board that's password protected so only its alumni can make use of its listings. The school changes its password regularly. Alumni weren't amused when the most recent password was "fail8ure."

Sym-Bionic Titan with a stripper pole
Sym-Bionic Titan is a great show, and Episode 10, "Lessons in Love" was no exception. Well-paced, funny, unpredictable. But the show is rated PG and airs at 8:00 p.m. and reairs at 8:30 a.m. on Cartoon Network.

For the time being, you can watch the episode below. There are lots of angry comments at Youtube.
