Our final video is posted on Tony Gorder's blog. Jamison Lamp, Tony, and I decided we wanted to do the top most common ways to die in your house. It sounds graphic but we made it stuff that was completely overly obvious so that it was funny. It turned out really funny, I think. The B-Roll of Jamison and household accidents was really fun.
Our advertisement was aimed toward all those people who get a little ugly fighting for clarence price Christmas presents. All-in-all it turned out really well and I think it was funny. We had some trouble getting the chroma key to work and getting it to post, but it turned out okay.

Minn. man mistaken.
A man wearing a ski mask and carrying an object in his hand that a motorist thought was a gun triggered a lockdown Tuesday morning at Stillwater Area High School, police said.The object turned out to be coffee.
Well, I guess it's good to know that people are more careful, but they also have no trust in people wearing ski masks. Note to self... although SDSU UPD officers wear ski masks... they aren't going to shoot me. Hopefully.

Christmas Lights
In Thurmont, Maryland, they are thinking of identifying those people who are behind on electric bills and wasting energy on christmas lights. Wow.
First of all, I enjoy christmas lights, I really do. But for those people who choose to put up HUGE tacky displays with cheap plastic reindeer, "ho, ho, ho-ing" santa clauses, enormous glittery candy canes, and THOUSANDS of christmas lights... make sure you pay your electric bills.
Now, I know everyone's budget gets a little tight around the holidays, especially now that our economy sucks, but try to prioritize. I recommend paying the utility bill before you spend your money on giant plastic reindeer. It's great if you have the holiday spirit and can't wait to celebrate, but it's December. December is cold. Very cold. If I had to choose, I would prefer having heat over a tacky santa clause on the roof of my house.

Babies galore
Babies are everywhere in the Duggar family. Have you ever seen the show 17 Kids and Counting? They are now going to have to change that to 18. Michelle Duggar just had ANOTHER baby.
18 kids...18 kids...18 kids! This woman must have been pregnant for her entire adult life!! 18 children, 9 months each, that equals 13 and a half years of her life. Pregnant! Do you know how expensive it is to have 18 kids? How do you even pay for that?
Don't get me wrong, I like kids, I think they're amusing and interesting little characters. But 18 in one house is way to much. And she's "thinking of continuing to expand her family." I give these parents some serious brownie points. I'd go nuts!!

Burger King Taste Tests...not so great
Burger King recently went to rural Romania to do a taste test with people who are "unbiased" because they have never had a Whopper or Big Mac.
Basically, these poor farmers in Romania have some of the highest poverty rates and often go to bed hungry. Burger King thought it would be a good idea to go and use them as taste testers when comparing a Big Mac and a Whopper.
First of all, these people are happy to have any kind of food on their table, they don't care if it's a Big Mac or a Whopper. The critics are in an uproar, they believe that what Burger King is doing is morally wrong.
In my opinion, if you want someone's opinion, ask the average person on an American street to do the taste tests. Ask someone who isn't eating it just so they can consume enough calories to prevent passing out. Think about it, it's kind of insulting.

Thanksgiving shooting
This guy knows what it is to make a bad first impression.
His girlfriend's brother shot him the first time they met... holy cow! Violence in never the answer... seriously people

Fire extinguishers no more?
Fire extinguishers have officially been banned from communal areas in flats across the country. Huh?
Apparently it was decided that fire extinguishers encourage people to fight the fire rather than leave the building. I can see where people are coming from when they made this ban, but at the same time I have to disagree with it. I will admit that I think it's rediculous when people try to fight an entire house fire with just an extinguisher. That is stupid and unsafe.
However, what happens when it is just a toaster that catches on fire? That could easily be put out with a fire extinguisher if you catch it before it spreads. Or what if a candle catches your hair on fire? I don't know about you, but if I knew someone who's hair started on fire, I would probably try to put it out. But maybe that's just me.
This is a stupid and unsafe ban.

Dumb lady
A woman in Nevada wasn't the most graceful drunken driver.
Well, the woman in Nevada was driving drunk and stopped to fill her gas tank. However, the woman drove away from the gas pump with the nozzle still in the tank. Way to go smarty.
First of all it's stupid to drive drunk anyways, all your doing is endangering yourself and others, but if you are going to do it I would think that you would try to NOT make it obvious.
Well, unfortunately she wasn't exactly discreet about it. Believe it or not... someone noticed that she tore out the gas tank hose... what a surprise! Why are some people so stupid?

Black Friday
I had fun on Black Friday shopping with my Mom and sister, but when I saw on the news about the man in suburban New York who was trampled to death I was shocked. A pregnant woman was also knocked down and she miscarried... how tragic is that?
Honestly people, are you really going to trample someone to death just so that you can get a clarence price on a new T.V. or camera. What has our society come to when they are more interested in getting cheap stuff than helping out a man who was knocked down. And that poor woman who miscarried, that has to be so tramatizing. I can't even imagine what I would do if I were her.
I personally am embarrassed FOR THOSE people who were in the crowd. They should be ashamed of themselves. An HD TV is not worth someone's life.

4 Christmases
On Thanksgiving night I went and saw 4 Christmases with my family. I thought it was decent. It was definitely nothing exciting but it was entertaining and I did laugh.
I was disappointed, however, that it seemed like all of the funny parts of the movie were shown in the trailers promoting the movie. I hate it when they do that!
I would recommend this movie to anyone, even my Dad had a few laughs, and he is more of an action movie kind of guy. All-in-all... it was decent. I suggest going to a matinee, it might not be worth the full evening price.
You could also just wait a while and then rent it.
