Flagrant Censorship

The idea censorship can be a controversial subject. Used by the conservative as a means of protecting innocent minds; the stereotype goes that, as students, it should offend our liberal sensibilities. But what if we reversed the idea of censorship, and rather than hide the bad things, we use it to create offense and vulgarity where there was none before. I think it would be ingenius because it would please neither the conservative or liberal, but create laughs for the flagrant like you and me.

Bower Birds.

Bower Birds are cool.....really cool. They set an example for all males when trying to seduce females. They practically invented the idea of the "Batchelor Pad".
To attract mates, Bower birds build incredibly complex nests (called Bowers) which are adorned with flowers, fruit, nuts and beetle shells for decoration. Instead of using bright colours which most of the paradise birds are born with, Bower Birds opt for being creative about things and so they design and decorate perfect living conditions for themelves. They are obsessive about how their bowers look, and if you mess up their bower by say, putting flower petals that are a different colour in the bower, they will immediately fix things back to the way they were. These birds are tidy, and they like to co-ordinate everything. If they believe that females would prefer pink flowers to blue, they will decorate the bower with only pink flowers. Even objects of the same colour are used to decorate the nest, like pebbles, plastic or glass. Its all about their personal choice.

Now that is flagrant living. Check out this clip from David Attenborough.

Stop putting shit on our bodies David Blaine!

I know this is a really popular video on youtube but I only found it the other day, so maybe some of you haven't seen it either. I think its a pretty funny impression of David Blaine.



and the sequel:

More Beatboxing Flagrancy

Even though I have already posted about this guy, it wasn't enough. At the time of my last post I didn't realise that the guy in the video is the current UK beatboxing champion. His name is "Beardyman" (as he used to have a beard) and he sometimes joins up with an MC and together they are "The Gobfathers". He has been on the BBC show "When Will I Be Famous" and some channel 4 documentary.

Even though this video doesn't show his ridiculously flagrant beatboxing skills (such as doing accurate reverses, and singing and beatboxing at same time), it shows the humour he always puts into his routines which is what I like so much.



Search "beardyman" in youtube and you'll get some other videos, but definitely visit his cool website. For a perfect example of just how good he is, go to this page and listen to "Tim Shaw Audio". It is amazing.

Flagrant Beatbox Entertainment

I found this video on a site called The Fame Game. It seems to be an interesting site where people upload videos of themselves performing various talents, and cash awards are given out to the best videos every month.

I haven't looked around the site much yet. But I found this and thought it was cool:

Flagrant Fans.

This is fan dedication at its best. The guy who made this is a belgian Star Wars fan and a member of the 501st Legion, an international community of Star Wars fans who are connected by the internet, they do charity functions and other events to help out where they can if you ask them and in my opinion I think that they are a bunch of nerds, but nerds that I absolutely respect. They are the people who go to a Star Wars movies wearing a stormtroopers outfit, and people hurl abuse at them for being nerds, but they just wash it off and keep doing the same thing because it's what they love and who are we to criticise them.

Damn.....I just went on a bit of a rant there, well, sorry, but its so needless when people find it ok to make others feel like shit just because they dont like or understand the other persons hobby.

I will not lie to you, I have been visiting the 501st website for months, ive read about the events that they help out in and how members meet up with everyone in their region whatever country they are in.

Well i got totally side tracked there, I was just supposed to talk about the hot air baloon. The idea of making a vader's helmet into a hot air balloon was just a passing thought by region leader Nicolas Lelong TK-2054 (oh yeh, they have numbers), but Benoît Lambert delighted at the idea, and wanted to display his creativity and knowledge of hot air balloons.

This is incredibly impressive, he designed and funded the creation of the balloon by himself and then sent it to Cameron, the worlds largest manufacturer it out of his own pocket, he even asked for permission from LucasArts (like it mattered). Anyway, theres no video footage of the Vader balloon, maybe some other time.

Flagrant Dribbling

Barcelona's Argentinian player Lionel Messi has had a lot of hype surrounding him over the last 18 months. Even though hes still only 19, there has been lots of talk about how he is destined to be a great player, and how he could be the next Maradona. Infact, even Maradona himself made that claim.

In the last 12 months he's had a fair amount of injury problems, and I didn't hear much about him, he kinda disappeared off the radar. I figured that maybe he wasn't all that he had been cracked up to be, as happens a lot with football players. Then, last month, he was back in the news again after the brilliant game between real madrid and barcelona which finished 3-3 with Messi getting a hat-trick.

Last night Barcelona were playing Getafe in the Spanish domestic cup, and Messi scored a goal of such ridiculous flagrance that it has led to a bizarre number of Messi/Maradona comparisons being uploaded to youtube. Can you figure out why?

Maradona (vs England)



Messi (vs Getafe)



By the way, youtube sucks so much now! They remove so much content but it still appears in the search results, how retarded...
