what is flagrance?

Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess.

Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it!

An actual recorded case of Flagrance.


This is the new Snoop Dogg song, Sexual Eruption (Sexual Seduction is the censored version. I know that a lot of people wont like this song but I don't care, because I like it, and thats what matters....peasant! Its a bold move from the rap that he usually does and for his efforts I'm going to send him a Blue Peter badge (don't worry snoop, its already in the mail). The video is a great example of 1980's flagrance and thats why I like it even more, although I haven't a clue what the tube is doing in his mouth (much appreciated if someone can tell me its relevance).
Anyway....enjoy!

Stephen Colbert

Since the summer I have been watching Stephen Colbert's TV show "The Colbert Report" on ifilm.com. For those who haven't seen it, it is a parody news programme similar(ish) to The Daily Show with John Stewart. On it, Stephen Colbert (in character)impersonates right wing news personalities like Bill O'Reilly. About a month ago on his show he announced that he would be running in the Presidential Nomination race for both the Democrat and Republican parties - but only in the state of South Carolina (where he's from). A couple weeks later, the Democrats announced they wouldn't be letting him run.

The reason I'm writing about him isn't because his show is so funny (which it is), but because as a result of his announcement, he started doing a lot of TV interviews in character. This brings me to my point: while on his TV show he has writers, the interview situations are off-the-cuff and I love his ability to improvise and keep a straight face. He never gets stuck!

Here is an interview that I really liked on a serious show called "Meet the Press". Even thought Stephen Colbert is in character, the interviewer tries to treat it like an interview with any other political candidate. Its so funny, check it out, there are 2 parts:

Part 1


Part 2

The Fog of War

This documentary is called: The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara

I saw this on tv a couple years ago and thought it was really interesting. It is basically a long interview with Robert McNamara who was the U.S. Secretary of Defense during Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. These days a lot of the responsibility and blame for losing the vietnam war is placed on him. I guess this is a rare type of documentary because how often do you get such an indepth first hand account about such a major world event?

I haven't rewatched much of it yet but if I remember rightly, this documentary also has a really good musical score. If you have the time I hope you watch it and enjoy it.

Great quote from the documentary:

*On the fire-bombing of Japanese cities towards the end of WW2*
"[Airforce General Curtis] LeMay said if we'd lost the war, we'd all have been prosecuted as war criminals. And I think he's right! He, and I'd say, I, were behaving as war criminals.

LeMay recognised that what he was doing would be thought immoral if his side had lost, but what makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?"

Flight of the Conchords

I've been meaning to make a post about Flight of the Conchords for ages. They are 2 music playing comedians from New Zealand. Last year they were given their own show on U.S. TV which I watched while we were in Canada. After the first few episodes it went a bit downhill but there were some really funny songs in the first few episodes, check them out:

This is the very first song in the first episode and still the greatest:

You're So Beautiful


I've picked a live version of this song because on the TV show they cut too much funny stuff out of it:

The Humans are Dead

It Puts the Lotion in the Basket.


This is a brilliant song and video by the "Greenskeepers". I don't really have any worthwhile info on them but if you have seen Silence of the Lambs then you will probably understand it a whole lot better.

Flagrant Females pt.2


I know that there are dozens of clips where cheerleaders get trampled by football players. It happens so often infact that it's almost like the players are out to get them, and this clip is no different, however, we do get to see it from the cheerleaders point of view this time. She's a homecoming queen named Cali (who happened to be wearing her Tiara at the time/moment of impact and you can see it being taken out of her tangled hair at the end of the clip). Anyway, it's a fairly hilarious video, and i love the editing, they replay it over and over. Stay tuned for more Cheerleading mishaps. :D

The Para-Flagrant Olympics

To continue the funny stupid video theme that 90% of my contributions to this blog consist of:
