Sometimes the internet just tosses you an early Christmas gift. Here I was all set to type up a blog about my pending Christmas Shopping excursion planned for today and this baby just falls in my lap, literally the first video I watched this morning.
That's easily the most I've laughed at a video in a long time. And not the kind of forced laugh that you make when you're watching something with others so you fit in or don't look like you don't understand the humor. This was genuine humor. The reactions were priceless, and said a lot about the people.
Like how about the difference between the Asian guy at :48 seconds and the other one at :58 seconds. First guy clearly grew up in China town and is classically trained in Kung Fu. He never felt threatened at all, just escorted the potential robber out the door calmly like it was no big deal, didn't even seem agitated. The second guy? Clearly too Americanized. Just running away and asking questions later. Not quite the pussy as all the other white people in the video, he did stand there and face him while on the cell phone, but still, an iron gate? You've brought great shame to your fore-fathers.
PS: I'll be back with a wrap up of my shopping excursion this afternoon. I don't want to promise entertainment, thats too much pressure for my pedestrian writing skills to live up too, but it should be mildly interesting at a minimum.
