This makes me laugh almost as much as seeing Obama riding a unicorn in that one flash.

This (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/20/obama-apologizes-special-olympics-bowling-joke/) also makes me laugh, in an fmylife kind of way. Totally deserved that one.

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0) is pretty hilarious, too.

Eh, I'll do it again, eventually. I'm not worried.

Appearing on "The Tonight Show," the president told host Jay Leno he'd been practicing at the White House's bowling alley but wasn't happy with his score of 129. The he rolled a gutter ball by quipping: "It was like the Special Olympics or something."

that isn't exactly right. the special olympics comment is clearly in reference to leno's golf clap and sarcastic "no, that's very good" and sounded to my ears more like "this is like the special olympics or something."

It's now impossible to rickroll someone in the UK (as long as the rickroll uses Youtube).

Glorious.

There's some squabble with royalties. Basically, Google (who now owns youtube) says it can't afford to stream videos/music and lose money every time it does so.

Unsurprisingly, members of the self-proclaimed Moral Majority are quick to pounce on any chance to take down The Flaming Eye:

Palin, Shriver Slam Obama for Leno Quip (http://news.aol.com/main/obama-presidency/article/palin-shriver-slam-obama-for-leno-quip/392162?icid=main|htmlws-main|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Fmain%2Fobama-presidency%2Farticle%2Fpalin-shriver-slam-obama-for-leno-quip%2F392162)

On the upnote, at least one real Republican knows that Sauron wasn't being a deliberate asshat:

California First Lady Maria Shriver, whose mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founded the Special Olympics, said she doesn't think Obama meant to offend anyone, but that this incident shows that "there is still much work to be done." Shriver's brother, Tim, is the current chairman of the organization.

"Often times we don't realize that when we laugh at comments like this it hurts millions of people throughout the world," Shriver said in a statement. "People with special needs are great athletes and productive citizens, and I look forward to working with the President to knock down myths and stereotypes about this community."

But Shriver's husband, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, came to Obama's defense and said everyone makes mistakes. "I know where his heart is at," Schwarzenegger said. "He loves Special Olympics and he will do everything he can to help the Special Olympics. And every one of us sometimes makes a mistake by, something comes out of your mouth and you say oops, I wish I wouldn't have said that."

Which is still an improvement from the administration of George Peter Bush.

I watched an Ann Coulter interview where she talked about this and filled with "rightous" anger.

Its funny. I didnt know Ann Coulter was suddenly against saying "un-PC" or "offensive" things.

Ann Coulter must now be one of those ebil PC libruhls I hear so much about.

"But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house?" Ann Coulter

This could be a fun game. Who else wants to play?

That just means I have to work harder.

Besides, there are Rickroll alternatives.


If it weren't for the stupid rule against it, I would be posting the link to kevan.org instead of Rickrolls.
