The "lemon" compilation has me befuddled

Peace,

Will Sasso, famous from his days on MAD TV, has a very bizarre, yet hilarious, ongoing lemon-themed gag on his Vine account.

Vine, of course, is the new ultra short video app on Twitter that gives users just six seconds to post a video.

Alex Davidson compiled all of Will’s lemon videos into this one ultimate Will Sasso Lemon Compilation that just screams WTF? Of course, the Internet loves WTF, and now the compilation is going viral.

Country pop princess Taylor Swift and the goat meme even make a small guest appearance.

Still befuddling

Ads for a local non-profit science exhibit.

You would not believe the amount of controversy these ads have created, they have been banned in some locations.
I don't think there's anything wrong with them. As always you can show as much gore as you want in North America, but as soon an ad about the science of sexuality airs people get their pitchforks and torches out. :undecided:

Pretty interesting ARG. I knew a guy with chronic back pain, 12 Vicodin a day to maintain. He told me when he was having sex with his wife was the only time he didn't hurt. Hurt afterwards though.

I like these better than the Anti-Abortion ads, that's for sure :thinking:

There are like nude chicks running around in commercials in Europe all the time. Doesnt even make sense for what they are advertising most of the time. Imagine how "ruined" everyones life would be if somethi g like that happened here. It really is sad

Well, thankfully we have a wonderful democratic government that never makes a mistake, and highly moral organizations to protect our feeble minds from such distasteful filth.

Star Wars VII spoiler alert! Confirmed...

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII - Palpatine Returns ? GeekTyrant

That is interesting news.

***Possible Star Wars VII Spoiler Alert ahead.

Given this: "Palpatine had a new apprentice before he got killed." as a premise of the movie, I'm going to go ahead, and say the apprentice is Mara Jade. A person whom Palpatine trained from a very young age, and kept in constant telepathic contact with.

The movie can very easily focus on introducing these two characters to each other, and use other plotlines as a backdrop. Whatever they are doing, I really really hope that they realize there is sufficient material already created to do with star wars, what has been done with James Bond, and put out a new movie every few years.

For anyone truly immersed in the Star Wars universe, it would child's play to put together the next ten episodes.

What I really fear they will do, is try to do too much too quickly, and gloss over huge segments of the larger story.

I really really want to see Thrawn in the movies... they better not screw up with him. Easily one of the best villains of the SW universe.

Wasn't familiar with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Checking out his Wiki. Very interesting character. It was mentioned though that no existing book or comic storylines will be used for SW7...

They go on to explain that nothing in the script that J.J. Abrams and Michael Arndt are working on comes from any of the Star Wars books or comics. So if that's what you were hoping for, then now you know not to expect it.

Still to early to say though. Maybe.

It would be rather silly of them to discard everything. You don't reboot a franchise dropping main characters... and Mara Jade is a very central character. As is Thrawn, although it would be very easy to alter him to simplify the story.

My expectation is they will pick and choose form elements already there, and re-invent them as they see fit, but it would be beyond foolish to try to come up with something that takes a complete 180 from the established story lines.

Can you imagine x-men without Xavier? Or Superman without Smallville?

What I hope they don't do, is try to re-make star wars even more so than Lucas already has. (All but two things I can forgive... the fact that he completely quantified the Force and removed the mystery element from it, and of course Jar Jar. He's also taken DarthVader and turned him from the biggest badass in the galaxy into a whiny kid )

If you like Star Wars, I very highly suggest you first watch the three original movies, and then pick up a copy of the Thrawn trilogy.

I guess I've been waiting for an excuse to watch them again. I'll look for the audiobooks

Thanks :beer:
