This cracks me up every time and I love it so much, so if it turns out to be a martyr recruitment video, boy, am I ever going to feel stupid.
But I can see someone not caring for it. Perhaps you. Fine! How about this rock and roll thing. I like this a lot too.

Dude, that's obviously a Nile crocodile...you're not one of those MB infiltrators are you?
Its a recruitment video alright... but, its not what you think.
Its recruiting NYC taxi drivers.
How do you spell relief?
ar ee el ie ef.
LOL! Cute.
Reminds me of The Lion Sleeps Tonight for some reason.
I was thinking about how languages sound today and if no one had said Arab for that I'd never have guessed.
I took the bus today and shared a seat with a little girl who's mom/big sister, who was clearly Native American, (though down here that could mean anything and there are several different languages spoken,) talked to her in what was clearly and absolutely *not* Spanish. The sounds were not even remotely Spanish-like, though I don't speak that language either. It was... rounder.
Very very pretty lady but it would have been just too weird if I'd said anything about that. Other than having much darker skin and better hair, she looked like the Korean beauty pageant contestants that Ace linked the other day.
I wonder, sometimes, what the Native Americans think of that whole "Hispanic homeland" thing...
Great post chip. You're incredibly original and thought provoking.
Almost provocative, but not quite. Cutting edge though.
Belmont Club on Syria crossing Obama's red line and convenient mysteries
That would be a signal for the President to take another vacation. From the calm of the links, an Obama confronted with clear evidence of chemical weapons use could weasel out by invoking his usual rejection of the False Choice.
They ought to end it by showing the croc being shot by an american soldier.

I'm pretty sure Comanche descendants think:
"Punk Mes'can bitches, you had to have the white man fight your battles for you, now you think you own something?"

Among Arabs, as well as Pashtuns and Persians, ... a more realistic ending would be the croc getting blown up by one of his fellow crocs, just from a different tribe or sect. They kill more of their own people than anyone else. I assure you the immigrants who've come here (and live near me) weren't running away from American soldiers.
(1) I watched the croakadiles all the way to the end and loved each and every second of it.
(2) The Lola Colt thing frightened me and I had to stop at 1:36 and I promised myself I wasn't going to mention the time Chrissie Hynde hurt my sensitive feelings by laughing at my penis but I'm still feeling a little bit frightened so that's why I just mentioned it anyway.

Nothing will change until my generation passes away.
Interesting insights, Ari and April. I never thought about it that way.
I'm pretty sure Comanche descendants
How many Comanche are there around these days? It wasn't a huge tribe back in its imperial heyday, when all of el Norte quivered under their horses' hooves. Hmm, looks like around 15-16k. Still not a huge number of people.
But yeah, back in the day, Comanche raiding parties sacked Mexican villages as far south as the outskirts of Mexico City, and kept New Mexico as a subjugated province of Comancheria. One of the things that falls out of American accounts of the Mexican War was just how much of our defeat of Mexico was a matter of American armies moving into a power vacuum in the sacked and politically imploded ruin the Comanche had created in northern Mexico.
In the end, it was a ferocious decade-long drought in the High Plains that smashed the power of the Comanche, not any military campaign.
That was awesome! I never heard Arabic so harmonic.
Nairobi Trio
continuing feature
Is there anybody on earth who doesn't skip the commercial on YouTube absolutely as soon as they possibly can?
Of course there is, or else there wouldn't be any of those commercials, is my surmise.
I can add that phenomenon to my list of dispiriting things done by my fellow human beings.
DEATH TO THE INFIDEL COMMERCIAL WATCHERS!!!1!!!!!1!!
Watch it with close captioning turned on. It gets even better.
The percussion bits were the funniest- little arms and all.
