Take the Poo to the Loo (and other links)

- India has a problem. When someone's got to go, apparently they just pull down their pants and do their business, no matter where they are. In an effort to address this health-impacting issue, the UN has created a video. It's surprisingly catchy for being about singing, dancing poop.

Technically work safe, though lyrics have a curse in them (bet you can guess which one!) and of course it's about poop.

I now have the Take Your Poo to the Loo song stuck in my head. Thanks, India.

- I've never played Jenga before. Heck, I've never even seen it played outside of a television commercial, but I still bet that this version is probably a lot more entertaining. Extreme Jenga, played with 600-pound blocks:

- I'm surprised no one has created a site like this before now. Coloring Book Corruptions -- they make coloring books fun! corrupt innocent coloring book pictures.

The images are large, so click the cut to see samples.









- And lastly, apparently I really should be watching Community. They did a special opening for one of their episodes. Community meets GI Joe:

Community is *hilarious*. I highly recommend it.

I watched the whole GI Joe episode last night and I agree. Unfortunately it isn't on Netflix or (the free version of) Hulu, but luckily there are other ways to access it.

I see the characters/actors on a regular basis on The Soup, and I've always liked them there. I think it'll be a good match for me.

Odd... I've been watching it on Netflix. They have all of it except the current season, I think. This is Netflix Canada so maybe that's why?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess. Netflix is less useful than it used to be. Community is available... if you use the premium version of Netflix. The regular paid version doesn't get it.

[doxxxicle.livejournal.com]

What is this "premium" version of Netflix? I thought there was one subscription plan and that's it?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ah, I guess it's a US Netflix only thing. You can keep on paying $10 (or whatever the old fee was) per month, but you only get streaming. Supposedly the higher tier price gives you access to DVDs as well as streaming, but it's become all the "good" stuff is only through the higher price service (new movies, any new TV show). Netflix has become something that's really only good for catching up on old movies/shows.

I just scrolled through the 'new listing' section, and there was one theater-new movie there (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), and one TV show (Bates Motel -- I think that's new?). Everything else was new-to-Netflix "new" (like Burn Notice and The Cleveland Show -- not at all new!).

It's pretty annoying.

Community is one of two TV shows that I watch (the other being Parks and Rec). It's weird and hilarious in a wonderfully geeky sort of way.

Note that if you start watching older seasons, a lot of the writing staff was forced out on the fourth season (but brought back for the fifth), so it's generally the weakest one.

Sounds so perfect for me, I don't know how I've missed it this long. I'm in the middle of rewatching Stargate Atlantis, but I'll watch it either next or during it.

...that was the shittiest video ever! *boggle*

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ha! It was indeed quite full of shit.

I've heard of that go anywhere kind of issue I can't imagine. Don't get me wrong I've done my business in the woods before, and males do have a happy ability to urinate just about anywhere, surreptitiously or not, but that certainly doesn't quite seem the same as doing it on the sidewalk in front of scads of humanity!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I can understanding peeing in the bushes if there's no other choice, but on a road? In a city? Where anyone can see you?

I guess it's what they're used to?

And gosh, what could be better than dancing Poo!
