We really don’t like to be the bearers of bad news. It makes us feel all sad and weird, like ‘Gangnam Style’ in an elevator. But this time, we feel that it’s necessary to relay said bad news, if only for your health: there is going to be a global shortage of bacon next year.
It’s the end of the week, and what a mighty fine week it has been! In this week’s roundup of our favorite videos, we’ve got a farting doll, a Russian street musician who sounds remarkably similar to Kurt Cobain, and a dance remix of a terrible boat crash. You know, classic internet stuff. Let’s get started!
They called him the voice of a generation, but if you really wanted to, you could probably also get away with calling Kurt Cobain the voice of a Russian subway performer. This dude sounds just like him.
Before popping the question to his girlfriend, Russian man Alexey Bykov wanted to give her a quick taste of what her life would be like without him. So the 30-year-old businessman hired a stuntman, a make-up artist, actors and even a screenwriter to help him fake his own death.
Last week, rumors began to swirl that Disney was going to reboot 'The Rocketeer.' The movie, which was based on the graphic novel by Dave Stevens, was somewhat of a flop when it came out in 1991. But the tale of a handsome 1930s era test pilot (Billy Campbell) who uses a rocket suit to fight Nazis and mobsters has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years.
Most of us have a difficult enough time just getting up in the morning, let alone planning our future goals for the next 33 years. However, a 31-year-old Russian billionaire by the name of Dmitry Itskov is doing just that, as he is currently working with a plethora of scientific minds to develop a way to transfer human consciousness to an artificial form – with a goal of human immortality by 2045.
Samuel L. Jackson is by far one of our favorite tweeters, thanks to Jimmy Fallon who taught the celeb how to use the social media site. For one, he made the 2012 Olympics that much more entertaining with statements like, "Did that Russian just do the 'whoa Gurl Whut wuz in That Drank, dat Sh*t wuz Skrong' Vault landing?!" However, his most recent sentiments regarding Hurricane Isaac threw people into a bit of a tizzy.
Before Judd Apatow was "Judd Apatow" he wrote a movie called 'Heavyweights,' about the adventures of a group of portly young men who had been sent by their folks to a weight-loss camp.
We've been able to track down the whereabouts of most of the actors who played these jolly campers. Others, however, have seemingly disappeared and we can only hope that it's not because they eventually fell prey to the Tony Perkis method of dieting and wasted away to nothing. See what your favorite 'Heavyweights' child actors are up to today.
Fans of the hit movie 'The Avengers' will be swooning over this Russian-made miniature S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier! This replica of one of cinema's most awesome aircraft carriers is no shoddy children's toy though. Like its movie counterpart, it can float comfortably on the water without sinking, and yet fly through the air with the greatest of ease.
Russia has always been a hotbed of YouTube goodness, but today that country has taken it to another level. Mother Russia is now in possession of a technology so powerful... it can make you float around in a jerky motion above a body of water.
