Martin Luther King Would Be Proud: The Daily Nooner (EST)!
Awesome Video Of The DayAn Interesting Response
This video is pretty average in a lot of ways - there are about a billion videos of people punching each other in the face on YouTube - but it does have one redeeming factor: it marks the first time in recorded human history that somebody has responded to a punch in the face with the phrase "Ah, fuck - I can't believe you've done this."
Not in TOTAL human history, mind you; with over 6 billion people on our planet, I'm pretty sure there are a handful of people out there who, after being punched in the face, have turned around in disbelief and said, "Ah, fuck - I can't believe you've done this." I'd estimate that it's happened around 14 times in a handful of different languages, but never before has there been a camera around to document it. This 11 second-long video marks the very first time that it's been recorded for posterity's sake, so don't write this off as another typical dude-gets-punched-in-the-face-on-YouTube video. It might be a video of a dude getting punched in the face, but it's also historically significant.
You know - because the guy says "Ah, fuck - I can't believe you've done this."
Incidentally, this particular blog post is historically significant in a very similar way: it marks the first time anyone on the internet has said "barnacle shuffle" or "King Tut's balls." What do I win?
