Awesome Video Of The Day

Snapping Turtle Climbs A Fence

I know it’s Monday and you’re tired and bummed out and missing the weekend and all that, but I think I may have found something that can make you feel better: A video of a turtle falling off a fence.

Why will that help? I don’t know. There’s definitely something satisfying about it, though. Maybe it’s like an inspirational message about giving your all. Maybe we could learn a lesson from this little persistent guy.

Or maybe it’s just funny to watch animals fall off of stuff.

Awesome Video Of The Day

The Infamous “Charles Johnson” Video

What a week, huh? In just five short days, I’ve managed to find something bad to say about college students who play beer pong, women with long fingernails, game show contestants and pretty much everyone who lives in Germany. I’m spent.

For that reason, I refuse to say a single negative word about “The Infamous ‘Charles Johnson’ Video.” How could I? It’s just kids being kids, right? Children doing what we’ve all done at some point in our lives: having fun with a video camera. Uttering nonsensical words, screaming like idiots and making explosion sounds while jumping on their beds. It’s beautiful in a way. Like watching a young fawn take its first steps on shaky little legs.

One day these fawns’ legs will be less shaky, though. These two boys will grow more and more confident until one day, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not the day after that, but one day they will no longer be boys at all.

They will be all grown up and completely, 100% retarded.
