| Some of the funniest videos | | Posted Tuesday, January 24, 2006 3:59:00 PM by Rose Martins | Some of the funniest video clips are of home captured video material. A family wedding can be a really funny video, especially if the person taking the video is not that experienced. 
There are a ton of free funny video downloads available on the internet, some are of the antics of dogs, cats and other animals, some are more intricate flash aminations or music videos.
There are also loads of funny police video clips to be downloaded. A car chase gone wrong or an attempted escape can be very funny. Many of these funny videos are circulated via email.
People download the video clips off the internet and pass them on to their mailing list.

| | | Emily, Angelique, Sharon and Courtney, Hair Petters | | Posted Friday, February 02, 2007 1:13:19 PM by Blog57 Team | | Earlier this month we reported on a disturbing trend: Hair Petting. Later in the month, the New York Times picked up on those who stroke a stranger's hair. And just the other night a woman at a show we attended leaned her head back, her hair practically in our lap - we resisted petting it, as nothing seemed worse at that moment than the possibility of touching this woman's frazzled hair. So we thought it was time to ask the founding ladies of this trend a few questions... Names/ages/what you do when you're not petting people's hair. We are Emily Grace, Angelique Cabral, Sharon Eisman and Courtney Munch. We are all 20-something. When we aren't petting hair, we spend our time running BadGirl Productions, our production company dedicated to developing new work with strong roles for women, as well as giving voice to stories that otherwise might not be heard.... | |

| | | Murphy Intimated By Dreamgirls Dancing | | Posted Wednesday, January 17, 2007 3:23:25 PM by Blog57 Team | | EDDIE MURPHY insists the hardest part about playing fictional soul legend JAMES 'THUNDER' EARLY in DREAMGIRLS was learning how to dance properly. The DADDY DAY CARE star won a best supporting actor Golden Globe Award Monday night (15JAN07) and said he watched old JAMES BROWN videos to learn some moves. The star regularly used to parody Brown when he was a cast member on sketch show SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, but insists the film role was much more difficult. Murphy explained that it's easy for him to dance when he's not taking it seriously saying, "Oh, I can (dance) if I'm trying to be funny. But it's different being serious. "If it's supposed to be a joke, and I'm wearing an inch of makeup, I can do anything!" 17/01/2007 02:11 Also see: EDDIE MURPHY DADDY DAY CARE JAMES BROWN SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE .... | |

| | | Cellphones on a Budget: Reviews of the SLVR L7 and LG U8500 | | Posted Monday, January 01, 2007 1:17:04 PM by Blog57 Team | | After a month of furiously shopping gifts for your friends and family, you might want to get a small gift to yourself, a cellphone on the budget. Hi-Mobile sent us in for a review two extremely affordable cellphones that don't lack features. The first one is the popular Motorola SLVR L7 (just $140) and the other one is the less popular --but with 3G and web capabilities-- LG U8500 (aka U880, just $180). LG U8500 review The LG U8500 is a 3G phone (2100 Mhz, European band), and it's pretty amazing having such a modern phone for less than two hundred bucks. It also has triband GSM and Bluetooth, but it's lacking 850 Mhz and EDGE support. It features a very bright high-quality 176x220 TFT internal screen, and a secondary 96x96 external screen that has some small angle-viewing problems The handset supports vibration and has a dual stereo speaker system.... | |

| | | 'Borat' humor puts us in better light than you might think | | Posted Sunday, November 19, 2006 1:12:17 PM by Blog57 Team | | If there's anything I learned watching "Borat," it's this: Andy Kaufman was ahead of his time by about 30 years, give or take. According to legend, Andy hated the medium of television, and his "foreign man" character, Latka Gravas, was probably more of a curse than a blessing. But if you stop and think about the TV specials Andy made, including "I'm From Hollywood," where he essentially made himself look like a raging jerk, and his bizarre Tony Clifton character, a guy who you were supposed to actively hate, well, it seems like Sacha Baron Cohen (the man behind the mustache) is playing in a fairly familiar playground. I wanted to address this because after seeing the "Borat" movie and reading article after article and seeing interview after interview with the guy, I've gotta say, I don't think people actually understand what Borat is actually about.... | |

| | | Why YouTube Is "World Changing" | | Posted Wednesday, November 15, 2006 11:27:15 AM by Blog57 Team | | Television is a tough business. It didn't use to be. There used to be a controlled market with a limited number of channels. Then came satellite and cable and the channels grew dramatically. Now the Internet is making its entry with a whole new video distribution capability, courtesy of YouTube and other video posting sites. Technically, the cost of making video has been collapsing for years. I remember being told, sometime around 1990, that you couldn't shoot a video for less than $2000 per hour. Now camcorders are ubiquitous and the current/next generation of mobile phones can shoot video. If you don't cost your own time, shooting video is hobby-cheap or cheaper. The collapse in cost wouldn't have meant much if there had been no way of distributing the output, but YouTube took care of that.... | |

| | | Get It Tuesday | New DVDs and games | | Posted Tuesday, November 14, 2006 3:34:37 AM by Blog57 Team | | ACCEPTED (Universal Studios, $29.98): Passable comedy about a high school senior (Justin Long) who invents his own university after getting rejected from colleges wears out its welcome once the movie starts to argue its premise as a viable alternative to traditional education. The film's biggest laughs belong to The Daily Show's Lewis Black as the school's rant-prone dean. Should have been rated R, too. THE DA VINCI CODE (Sony Pictures, $29.96): This most eagerly awaited of book-to-film adaptations is about as good a movie as anyone was ever going to wring from Dan Brown's inescapable bestseller. It's a laborious, talky, fleetingly engaging, ultimately silly picture, but fans of the book will be pleased with the respect director Ron Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman have given the novel.... | |

| | | Weird, weird Vermont viewable on YouTube | | Posted Sunday, November 12, 2006 3:11:35 PM by Blog57 Team | | In the world according to YouTube, Vermont is a place where people take long aimless drives under cloudy skies, snowboard incessantly, leap off cliffs and bridges into rivers, follow Clay Aiken slavishly and find time for bizarre rituals like dancing to bongo drums in the woods while wearing pink wigs. YouTube is the Web site where people can post videos of just about anything -- and they do. There's images of people dancing, musicians singing, clips of television shows and movies, snippets of news events and just about anything that can possibly be captured by a video camera. YouTube has a search feature in which a viewer can type in a subject and obtain a list of matching videos. Type in the search word "Vermont," and you get more than 1,300 matches. Many of the Vermont-related videos are travelogues of people's ski trips, murky views of Lake Champlain, and vacations that didn't look all that much fun.... | |
