Probably everyone has had a moment when it was NOT the time to laugh - but did anyway. I remember I was sitting in the front row of a very serious work briefing by one of the company's top people. He told a faintly amusing story, and that was it for me. For the rest of the talk I was absolutely busting to let out a roar of laughter. For about 30 minutes I was sitting smothering my face with my hands in intense pain. Awful.

The guy in this clip is much worse. Someone here's sure to know what he's saying, but whatever it is it seems serious and sad.

But the guy just can't stop laughing at the funny voice...

The woman in the rollchair has been in coma and isn't able to have sex anymore, the guy with the alien voice divorced from her because of that...
at the end he starts over again, saying that it's not only the sex, but also when he says sweet words to her... at that point the reporter almost dies in it :grin:
He obviously can't believe that someone with that 'castrated' sound is capable to provoke sexual feelings to a woman.

The show must have been 100% life, or the disapproved clip must have been leaked from the studio.
The reporter should immediately be dismissed, but funny it is, hehe :smile:

hehe.
this is a take from, what i think, one of flemmish/belgians best comedy shows ever. it was on for a few seasons. it's based on reality tv, but everything was made up. like this one about a reporter doing a show on medical faults (sorry huub, the guests didn't have a relation, they were just in the same boat).

when i first saw this program, i couldn't believe what i was seeing. it was about a family that had the grandpa living with them. laying in a hospital bed in the living room. he had to go because of a family party for the daughter, and it just wouldn't be fun with grandpa just laying there. so they ended up bringing him to a hospital in holland to 'put him to sleep'. it was done so brilliantly i was mad, couldn't believe such mute persons were around. it wasn't until the program ended, with end titles and cast/credits, that i knew it was fake.

Ah, sort of a pity. But it does explain one thing: how everyone was able to stay so serious. I thought someone would also start to laugh.

Compliments to the main actor though, his laughing seems very real :smile:

(thanks for correcting me Borg, I wasn't sure about the exact story as I could load the site just one time, other attemps led repeatedly to IE freezes)

unfortunately, the push for euthanasia of those who are a hassle to deal with is very real in belgium and especially the netherlands today. funny, since so many dutch and belgian doctors were put to death themselves for refusing to cooperate with state euthanasia laws implemented by the nazis......economic practicality over humanity, a sign of fascism everywhere. actually, if the leaders who promote depopulation would just kill themselves first, i'd be more o.k. with it..... (ot in the ot again, sorry! :grin: )

Overpopulation is not a problem for Europe, rather the opposite. But I expect technological advances to push longevity way over 100 years very soon. In fact I wouldn't be very surprised if we were one of the last generations to die en masse.

so the need for legislated death. there's no money in no one dying, not to mention the problem of replacement people....

it's all good, i just want those who do the legislation and create the situation(there ARE planning committees regardles of what ANYONE thinks. the stock market wouldn't function without them, neither cell phones.) to euthanize themselves and their families FIRST. then, the rest of us can figure out what we wanna do.......


:grin:

I've always felt that anyone who takes a country to war should lead from the front. OT but similar sentiment to Garyb. And that people who shoot their children, then themselves ...... should just shoot themselves first and see if they feel like shooting their children afterwards.

Errgh..... I'm going home to happier thoughts. Sorry to dump this lot on you.

It's a clip from a comedy show on flemmish TV... they're all actors. This weekly show is hilarious :smile:

One of my own laugh bursts at work that wasn't really appropriate, was that time we were removing an aileron from this plane. It had been in the hangar for several weeks and it was nearly ready to be towed out. Things got quite hectic, crewchief was constantly rotating the people working with me on that aileron. A workmate was having problems getting this hinge bolt out, slamming it with a punch and a hammer. Daym the bolt was stuck. Some higher management was watching us, the plane should been out for a test run hours ago. Suddenly the bolt came out, and it became obvious why it was soo tight. It was the last hinge bolt :wink: I was standing on the platform next to my workmate when the aileron went straight for the floor. The management didn't think scrapping an aileron like that was funny, and as the rest of my workmates were turning all white as a sheet, I bursted out in an uncontrollable laugh, but I was the only one eh.

Spirit, living with almost 300 on a square km sounds pretty overpopulated to me. It's like that in a 500km radius around here. Put too many chickens in your garden and they'll start biting each other's head off. The competition, expectance and pressure on people can get quite high eh. No wonder 30% of our women are on anti-depressiva.

re population...

I know there are many concentrated pockets of population, and if we're talking ideals, then I'd like to see a world population of maybe 2 billion. I'm merely commenting on the overall population decline in Europe.
