While browsing on the net as I do pretty much on a daily basis, I came across a headline which caught my eye. Anyone who has seen youtube.com would have come across this girl. Her name’s Bree, but her faithful viewers call her lonelygirl15 and she is featured in various youtube.com videos. She is a big hit, but the fact she is a teenager in a 25 year olds body, I've never been able to watch the whole thing ever. I guess I will now because there's this whole theory that she's actually part of a marketing campaign for a horror movie. They've actually traced the email address to some California lawyer and the computer she returns mail from is in a private sector in Creative Artists Agency. Her appeal though makes her the foundation of worldwide admirers everywhere.
So what is this youtube.com? For anyone who shuns cable, its a way to watch the best of South Park, The Daily Show, or even old music videos. I did a search for some old timers with tons of results. Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time is also there. Just a bunch of really good stuff, things that I can remember from my childhood and things I'm missing in my adulthood. Who doesn't need an occasional laugh that NBC, CBS, ABC or 15 Religious channels cannot provide?. They don't even show Teletubbies anymore except in the morning on Sunday when people are getting ready for church.. Hey, I wonder if I can find some Teletubbies on youtube.com! If not for lonelygirl15, for me. Oh, and you won't find very graphic porn sites on their either. Sorry, Mr. Slave!

STEVE IRWIN -- THE CROCODILE HUNTER FROM AUSTRALIA
I'm gonna miss that guy. It’s a very sad day for environmentalists, all kinds of nature-lovers, and crocodile enthusiasts as Steve Irwin, “The Crocodile Hunter,” died of a sting ray spine. He gained so much attention for hunting crocodiles. With his typical Australian accent, people all over the world watched him go on risky wildlife adventures. He made learning about the wild so much fun for all the people. I always loved watching his show and marveling at how close he could get to dangerous animals, and yet stay in control to the point where he (almost never) got hurt. Even if you weren’t really into the wildlife before, if you saw him on T.V., you gained some sort of interest in what he did.
Steve Irwin died doing what he loved best, getting too close to one of the dangerous animals he dedicated his life to protecting with an irrepressible, effervescent personality that propelled him to global fame as television’s “Crocodile Hunter.” He was killed by a sting ray while filming a documentary on “Ocean’s Deadliest” in the Great Barrier Reef.. He does leave his wife and two children behind. Hopefully, his story will bring inspiration to many other wild life enthusiasts and that the world will continue to learn more about our environment, conservation and protecting our wildlife.

Kyra Phillips, a CNN reporter talks while in the loo while George Bush talks live
Kyra Phillips, a CNN reporter, was at her work today covering Bush’s trip in New Orleans. During the speech, Phillips went to use the loo with her mic on! Yes, that’s right and absolutely true. Her entire conversation was picked-up by CNN and all of its viewers as the President was delivering his speech at the occasion which goes as follows:--
Transcript courtesy of the net
It’s only a rough transcription so kindly enjoy this scoop with Kyra Phillips chatting, seemingly in the bathroom, with an unidentified co-worker (Daryn Kagan?) while Bush blabs about levees or something.
As always, we welcome corrections and better interpretations.
Highlights: The clip starts with what sounds like “ASSHOLES.” Then Kyra talks about, presumably, a boy of some sort: “No ego… you don’t understand., just a really passionate, compassionate human being. And they exist! They do exist. They’re hard to find—”
COWORKER: “Yep.”
KYRA: “But they… are out there.”
Thankfully, “Mom” seems to approve (“good vibe”)
Then, Kyra again: “Of course brothers hafta be, you know, protective. [ZIP] Except for mine. I gotta be protective of him. Ugh, yeah. He’s married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak.”
Then the best part:
WOMAN: Kyra—
KYRA: Yeah baby—
WOMAN: Your mic is on.
ANCHOR: All right, we’ve been listening in to…
CNN apologised for “audio difficulties”.
So kindly enjoy the spoof which can happen anywhere and with anyone really.
