Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ok. Maybe it belongs in MTB or SS/FG.

Stiff drink, anyone? Valium?

Pre-adolescent children and the internet shouldn't mix.

Seriously.
what's sad is this stupid video is now in the public domain- no matter
what this person achieves in life this video will always be out there
to make him look ridiculous. at least when we did stupid stuff as a child
there wasn't a camera or a global community around to make it part of
the permanent record

I forced myself to watch six seconds of the original video, then I had to stop. Forget water boarding. If they really want enemy combatants and detainees at Guantanamo Bay to give up information, they should play this video. We'll have Bin Laden's location within 3 minutes.

Don't any of you have kids? This "Fred" has been youtube hit with kids for a couple of years now. He recently filmed a movie for Nickelodeon that premiered this month:


I can't stand to listen to him. That's probably why my kids like it.

Crap like this is the result of children being taught they are unique and special and the abolition of spankings for discipline.

Yeah. It sucks even more when a 15 year old has figured this out and is laughing stupidly all the way to the bank.

Judging by the replies ... this is the kind of reason why I don't have Flash installed on this machine. What video?

I liked the video! Of course, I work with people like him on a daily basis, so I'm numb to the strangeness and desperation for attention.

If you like that you'll love the Annoying Orange vs. Fred at PesterFest 2010!
