Tension Breakers

While we wait on President Morsi to give an important speech tonight, we have been checking the Al Jazeera, CNN, and local news sites for updates.

In the process, we came across this CNN Article by Catriona Davies, which reviewed the top viral videos of this year.  Of course, Gangnam Style was the most watched video this year, as it has already become the most watched YouTube video (sorry Biebs).  I wonder if all the views of parodies of Gangnam Style add up to a sizable percentage?

Anyway, the article also lists others.  Below are the three we laughed out all night; I've included the videos here, and below all three will be a few comments--for all the information and commentary, read the CNN article via the link above.

1. The Big Question...



2. Pride comes before the...



3. Oh Deer!


Notes:
The German guy is beyond lucky that he didn't break a tailbone, have a compression fracture, or be able to ever move his lower extremities ever again--after you get past the sheer divine providence that protected him, it's hard not to laugh hysterically ;) - you half expect Bob Saget to come in at the end and award the AFV grand prize.

The proposal is great--Titus wondered what would have happened if she said "no"; I wondered whether or not they did an encore at the wedding ceremony or reception.  Is the internet forever?  If so, then I'm sure that friends and family will be laughing at anniversary parties for years to come--and there are likely dozens more in the works looking to become a greater internet sensation impress the bride-to-be.

And, the Deer-lady -- Keli wonders if this was a prank (as she did about the Dublin girl below)--but I'm not sure; this lady may in fact believe that the DOT has put deer and drivers and unnecessary risk.  I wonder what she thinks of "Falling Rock" signs???

(special thanks to Zohare who shared the following Dublin girl recording with us on the CCF retreat)
