Daily WTF Moments

[Adam Awesome]

So each day, I will be posting 3 videos in the media that are just..."wtf is this?" Some are political, some aren't. Some are just absolutely hilarious, others are cute or weird. With that, let's bring on the videos!


A cutie, wittle 3 week old elephant trying to play in a pool :


A random, pretty good looking guy taking a bath in 300 cans of Pepsi:


And now not only does Al Roker miss the toilet, but he misses his show for the first time in 40 years!

Since I forgot yesterday, here are 6! (3 from yesterday, 3 for today)

1) Some obese guy (or girl?) stands up at a Tea Party gathering hosted by Alabama Rep. Martha Roby (R) and asks what the Republicans in the House will do about the "tyrannical" administration run by a "foreign-born" and "communist" President.




2) "The Obama " from a Missouri rodeo. As controversial and disrespectful as this was (especially the broom up his a$$), they did apologize for it and the person behind it resigned. #SouthernWhiteRacistTrash



3) Russian President Vladimir Putin kissing a fish. Need I say anymore?



4) Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg creates his own form of the game show, Cash Cab......POLITICAL STYLE! He dressed up in a uniform to disguise himself and drove a bunch of random passengers through Oslo, Norway. Apparently, the whole point behind it was to hear their opinions on the current Labour Party which Stoltenberg led, but eventually even with his disguise most passengers found out who he was. The reason for this is believed to be because of the Norwegian parliamentary elections approaching and the Labour Party has a terrible approval compared to the opposition, the Conservative Party.



5) Intern Christopher Rosa recites "Mean Girls" in under 30 minutes!



6) Jimmy Fallon + The Roots + Robin Thicke + A #1 Hit! On a recent episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, there was a lot of media over Fallon's own special rendition of the song "Blurred Lines" using children instruments!

August 15th, 2013:

1) This first one is interesting. Thaddeus McCotter, a near 5 term incumbent in Michigan's 11th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, decided to resign in July 2012 after it was found out that 85% of the signatures he needed to be on the Republican primary ballot that year were fake. The district is heavily Republican in the Milford Township area and a Tea Party activist, autoworker, reindeer rancher, and Claus impersonator by the name of Kerry Bentivolio won the GOP primary with no opposition (not counting the write-in vote for Nancy Cassis). Doctor Syed Taj ended up winning the Democratic primary, but Bentivolio ended up winning the general in November 2012 carrying 50.8% of the popular vote. So this Claus impersonator and 1 term incumbent was recently rewarded by the House leadership to control the House temporarily as Speaker pro tempore on June 25th, 2013 as appointed by John Boehner. And on that one day, guess what? Just as this video shows, Speaker Bentivolio messed up on his day of fame! Just as he was prepared to recognize a Representative from American Samoa (or as he calls it Samolia?), he also mispronounced the person's name! Representative Eni Faleomavaega (D-American Samoa) he pronounced with the last name (FA-LOOM-MA-VINGA) which was completely wrong as it was really (EH-nee FAH-lay-o-mahv-uh-EN-guh). And interestingly enough, when he took the floor, he defended the place he was from by correcting Speaker Bentivolio on his "American Samolia" error, but didn't mention how he mispronounced his own name! Now that's dedication! And it doesn't have much to do with the whole scenario or video here, but what Rep Faleomavaega went on the floor to talk about was how he was requesting the NFL Washington Redskins team to change their name as it offended Native Americans like himself.

2) This next one found courtesy of the Maddow Blog on MSNBC is of some Southern idiot shooting himself in the side of the head with a .50 caliber ricochet. Why is this important? Well, let me get down to the basics first. Chris Christie has set the NJ Senate general election date for October 16th which is a Wednesday while the Governor's race between Christie and Buono is set for only 3 weeks after that on November 5th which is a Tuesday. And why is this? Because Christie is a chicken and he does not want to be on the same ballot as a Democrat who is as popular as Cory Booker which he thinks would ultimately help Barbara Buono out. And with this win for Booker and assuming he beats Lonegan now, this will not only be a Democratic pickup with the new Senate expected to have 55 Democrats and 45 Republicans, but he will be the 8th ever African American Senator and the 4th elected by popular vote. So Booker has nothing to do with what the Christie Administration does, and yet Christie is worrying still over nothing! He's leading his Democratic challenger by double digits and he has an even higher approval than Hillary! He's got 53.1 going into 2016 as the "hottest politician" (not literally of course) to Hillary's 52.1 and Elizabeth Warren's 49.2. And this is on top of it costing NJ taxpayer's $12,000,000 extra dollars to have a separate election on another day. Meanwhile, Christie is also in the media involving some gun control which is where this video plays in. Particularly, it involves a 50 caliber sniper rifle bullet. It's so big that it's the length of a and is primarily used by the military. Currently, this one bullet which can automatically kill you if it hits a vital part of the body, is legal to be bought for anyone over 18. Christie has signed 10 pieces of common sense gun legislation passed by the Democratic controlled NJ state legislature, but it was mostly a bunch of bills that increase sentences in prison for illegal gun use. New Jersey itself is a very progressive state because they were actually the first state to ban assault weapons back in 1990. Christie is being urged to sign 5 remaining bills he left sitting on his desk which includes a ban on .50-caliber rifles; one of the most powerful weapons ever. There's also a background check bill which sits on his desk unsigned, so it's a matter if he does the right thing for his state or he chickens out and does what his national party wants.




3) And the last one for today....Weiner. Need I say more?

August 16th, 2013:

1) The 14th woman has come out against San Diego Mayor Bob Filner (D) over sexual misconduct and this newest one by far takes the cake. Peggy Shannon, who's a 67 year old senior citizen at the service desk in San Diego City Hall is reporting that Mayor Filner kissed her on the lips, wanted her to feel his hands, and asked to go out with her on weekends. A 67 year old woman who's a great grandmother! Really Filner? Really? I defended this guy at the start, but just... at this guy. He's screwed himself over and he's the biggest political media joke now. IT'S PERVIE FILNER TIME!




2) What Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) said is beyond amazing. Now he was right at first by discussing how the impeachment process works and what would happen if they found articles to impeach him on. He stated if the Republican controlled House of Representatives voted tomorrow on Obama's impeachment, it would pass because all it needs is a simple majority there, but stated just like with President Clinton, since a 2/3rd's majority is needed to throw Obama out of office, they could not get 21 Senate Democrats to join all 46 Senate Republicans in impeaching the President. Now that's all very right, but what he wants to impeach him on is another story. Just because Rep. Farenthold THINKS Obama's birth certificate is fake and was born in Kenya, that's supposedly enough to impeach Barack Obama. What an idiot. He should have had a V8!




3) Perhaps one of the most lovable and funny big guys America has ever known is the late, great Chris Farley. He's impersonated the great likes of Jack Germond (famous journalist from The McLaughlin Group that unfortunately passed away the other day at age 85), Rush Limbaugh, Meat Loaf, John Madden, John Goodman, Benito Mussolini, Rob Reiner, Boris Yeltsin, or perhaps his most well-known one, Speaker Newt Gingrich! In 1994, 100 days after the Republicans won control of the House of Representatives, "Newt Gingrich V2" had a visit to the lower house and let's just say, in this 9 minutes, he passed more bills than John Boehner's Congress ever has!

August 17th, 2013:

1) Today's WTF moments start with another Blurred Lines parody. This time with former President Bill Clinton. Given the lyrics of the song and Clinton's welfare "handouts" he gave all those women, this is just incredibly coincidental for this occasion.




2) A recent video of a raccoon showering with a Claus impersonator. To good to pass up xD.





3) "Mrs. Rape Kit" State Rep. Jodie Laubenberg (R-TX) is well-known now for her controversial bill she introduced and managed to pass in the summer of 2013 after it successfully got through the GOP controlled legislature a 2nd time and signed by Republican Governor Rick Perry. The bill ended up shutting down 37 of the states 42 abortion clinics and banned abortion after 20 weeks. During the debate on it, she ended up making a "Bachmann" comment and said that "rape kits will basically clean the woman out" even though that's not what they are really for as the intention of a rape kit is to determine if a pregnant woman got raped or not. That video has been leaked all over the Internet already so I won't post it again, but I did find something interesting that also contains state rep. Jodie Laubenberg from all the way back in 2007 when her rape kit incident hadn't yet taken place. In this video, she proposed another bill she again knew NOTHING about, but in addition yelled at a Democratic Rep. while the Texas House of Representatives was in session solely based off the fact that this Democrat told her the flat-out fact that the amendment being proposed by her would have cut 95,000 from the Child Health Insurance Program to which she angrily replied, "THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE!" First off Representative Laubenberg apparently has never heard of the word "false." You know...the word that's the opposite of true? Secondly, Rep. Laubenberg has proven not only on this most recent occasion in 2013, but also here in this 2007 video that she's ignorant of the facts given to her on the bill she introduced. Only Texas would elect a loon like this.

August 18th, 2013:

1) Is it just me, or does Weiner's weiner seem a bit...blurry? Just before I post the video, Anthony Weiner is shown doing terribly in the polls as he's in 4th place for the NYC Mayoral Democratic primary. The Speaker of the NYC Council, Christine Quinn, and NYC Public Advocate, Bill de Blasio, are tied with 24% of the vote each with former NYC Comptroller Bill Thompson having 18% of the vote, Anthony Weiner all the way behind at 11%, and current NYC Comptroller John Liu only having 5%. The primaries are September 10th, but since 1 candidate needs 40% of the more to win it which just won't happen, there will be a runoff on October 1st and the Mayoral election will be on November 5th. So basically, although NYC has been known most recently to elect Republican Mayors - Michael Bloomberg (Who used to be one) or Rudy Giuliani, the winner of the Democratic primary is expected to end up winning the general so this is why this primary is crucial. Whether it's de Blasio, Quinn, or maybe a #WinforWeiner, New York City will have it's first Democratic Mayor in 2 decades ever since David Dinkins left office in 1993. Given the absolute trainwreck in NYC that's known as the Weiner Mayoral Campaign, maybe Weiner should stick it out for another day, and I'm not talking about his weiner.




2) "W---hat WHAT RHYMES....with ALISON LUNDERGAN GRIMES?" Oh Oh! I can tell you Mitch McConnell!!! Time rhymes with Alison Lundergan Grimes because that time is only 15 months away before you lose your Senate seat in Kentucky. In the most recent PPP poll, Kentucky Secretary of State, Alison Lundergan Grimes (D), is shown beating the Republican incumbent Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, 45 to 44. McConnell is known as one of the most fierce and unbeatable people in the U.S. Senate and he uses ad after ad after ad to after his opponents and he just narrowly beat his Democratic opponent, Bruce Lunsford, in 2008. But this ad might the reason for his loss in 2014 and seeing Lemon Face getting unseated would be perfect revenge for when Republicans unseated then Democratic Senate Minority Leader, Tom Daschle, in 2004.




3) So without having known about it, that video I posted yesterday of that old guy showering with a raccoon actually has a big story behind it. This well-known Internet phenomenon by the name of Mark Brown is an avid raccoon lover and owner and he previous owned one named Gunshow who died earlier this year. To replace him, he adopted a coon that he named Rebekah "Gunshow" Rippy. And for the record, he didn't treat these beautiful creatures like nothing. He treated them with a lot of care and love and would do fun and hilarious stuff with them like washing them with Hannah Montana shampoo, dancing together to Aretha Franklin, or even feeding her milk in a bottle! However, a few weeks ago, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency confiscated Rebekah from him claiming that Rebekah "deserves to live" even though they are expected to release her back into the wild again soon where hunters could legally hunt down and kill poor Rebekah. Brown, who says he identifies himself as a Tennessee hillbilly, says the TWRA is only going after him for the Youtube fame he garnered from his 2 raccoon pets, although TWRA said in response it was nothing against him as they decided not to cite him and thought Rebekah should be able to go back to her natural habitat despite Rebekah loving how she had been treated already. TRWA's Don said that a raccoon is not a suitable pet and they can be unpredictable at times which is another reason they took Rebekah the raccoon away from him. As a result, her former owner, Mark Brown, has lobbied a "Free Rebekah" campaign urging the Republican Governor of Tennessee, Bill Haslam, to give her back to Brown. They say that the raccoon can no longer rehabilitate in the wild as they are domesticated and deserve to live in a responsible home. The petition on Change.org currently has close to 2,000 signatures and in response to all of this, Mark Brown said he "should not be condemned" but rather "commended." To show support for the cause, here's a cute video of Rebekah who's only a 3 month old raccoon.

August 19th, 2013:

1) This video speaks for itself .




2) A goat finds his own, special way of using a yoga ball.




3) Ke$ha's backup dancers own the racist and homophobic, Westboro Baptist Church, in Lincoln, Nebraska with their own rendition of "God H8s Who U R."

1) In honor of not only the fact that I was on The Ed Show about 3 weeks ago, but also the recent news that the great leader for the middle class, Ed Schultz, is returning to weekdays at 5 PM Eastern on MSNBC, here is the infamous video of Ed doing the Cupid Shuffle at the Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was there where MSNBC broadcasted for the day as the health care cause led that day by the honorable Reverend Al Sharpton fought for the cause of health care in Louisiana which got stripped by the Republican obstructionist Governor of their state, Bobby Jindal. So as part of the lyrics to the Cupid Shuffle state, let's go to the left, to the left, to the left!




2) Bo the 1st Presidential dog of the Obama Administration has run unopposed in terms of cuteness! Until now. Sunny, a 14 month old who's also a Portuguese Water Dog, was announced as the newest and 2nd Presidential dog of the Obama Family yesterday. Here's a video of these 2 adorable, fluffy doggies playing with each other!




3) The only time the Cleveland Browns really do get any media besides yet another pathetic loss. A guy streaks NAKED during a Browns vs. Lions pre-season NFL game and surprisingly enough, this streaker lasted longer than most do. He got pushed down twice by a Detroit Lions football player, but managed to get back up and ran across the whole field with his ding-a-ling hanging out. He was eventually caught at the end of the football field by a guy who got a head full of dick, but was immediately handcuffed by the police when he got over there. The game was held at FirstEnergy Stadium here in Cleveland, Ohio so this of course got a hell of a lot of local media coverage and was talked by us a lot. But streaking naked during a live, national television broadcast? Yeah, the FCC might be knocking on this guy's door sooner than he thought. Next time, don't embarrass Cleveland just because your dumbass friends told you to because this stupid incident may have just cost him his job, his girlfriend (if he even has one), his dignity and self-respect, a ton of money when he gets sued by the FCC, and some obvious time behind bars. This is the actual video of the incident. The first part is just his idiotic friends telling him it would be a good idea and funny to do it. The 2nd part is the incident and it doesn't show his dick and if it did, it would be censored, but it does show his ass.

August 21st, 2013:

1) So I just saw this video on the Being Liberal Facebook page and it was a What Would You Do? video from ABC. I've watched a lot of these before and it's a great show, but this one should really be addressed. It's just "WTF" to have these times where people actually like going on the Internet and basically attacking people. As people on here have said before, a lot of people who go on the Internet come on here to get away from their problems.



2) This next one is a gem. It's a PRO-Bob Filner rally which is a group of people who came together in San Diego to protest against this "injustice" being done against Mayor Bob Filner (D). This is so ridiculous it's funny . If there's any injustice being done, it's certainly the fact of what Filner did to those 16 + women over time and NOT the fact that people all over the nation, including us Democrats and even the National Democratic Party want Bob Filner to resign over it. Not only has Filner embarrassed and demeaned these women, but he's making the Democratic Party look like a joke now and quoting his Blurred Lines Parody, Mr. Filner, it's time to "#REEEEEEEEEEEEEEESIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"

3) In response to Governor Rick Perry's ad that attacked New York to try and get more businesses over in the so called "great state of Texas", but Manhattan's own, Lewis Black, wanted none of it. This famous comedian released a reverse ad against Perry for a little bit of revenge and he did it in a funny, but "get-the-message-across" way.
