Insects battle to the death on Japanese Bug Fights.
http://japanesebugfights.com/ (http://japanesebugfights.com/)
This is bizarre and kind of repugnant. If it were documentary nature footage, I'd find it fascinating. But staging these fights for online amusement is not cool. I'm giving it a thumbs down.
It's very popular in the Asian world, I've seen it in Martial Arts movies, alot of betting takes place.
It's not any different than watching UFC or Boxing.
I completely missed the UFC and boxing matches that were fought to the death, much less by unwitting participants. Got a link?
Of course, I'm being snide, but doing so in hopes of proving a point. While they are insects, which most people place lower on the right to life chain than, say, dogs, they are still being placed in situation where they are killed for amusement. Really not something deserving of support.
Lets the flames begin...................
I'm not saying support it, I'm saying it's crazy. That is part of the point of this thread. There is a lot of crazy stuff on the internet. They have a few ads on that page, but I believe none of them pay the website unless you click them. Perhaps this is the wrong crowd for crazy/cool links.
Let's try one more.
What were they thinking?

There's a lot of great stuff on the 'net, but I don't think I've found anything that makes me laugh more than this. Of course I didn't have to live it
Ooops. Sorry, posted a blind link. It's the guy who had to explain the difference between .002 DOLLARS and .002 CENTS to everyone at Verizon. I actually re-listened to it again before posting and forgot to label it. My bad... :)

Never seen ninja Daggits before ;)

The Daggit page is cute. If anyone is having a hard time finding a stuffed Daggit for their collection, they can visit that site and see where all the Daggits have gone.

One of my all-time favorite sites, run by the mad genius Jason DeWitt. You can browse the site or skip straight to the Episodes page:

Or the follow up product........."Testicle Taser".
Bonnie Tyler had a hit with Total Eclipse of the Heart, and ever since, it's been covered by others and lampooned relentlessly.
This is the original video.
