This isn't YouTube, but have you heard about the sketch Edward Norton took part in on Jimmy Kimmel?

I just wish they would stop beeping and blurring the F-word. Oh well.. Guess you have to please the whatever minor segment of the population still offended by that word in a skit.

So, just how do you confuse someone?

So, who got fooled? (I did at first).

More of a technical question; maybe someone is more familiar with youtube than me or knows a trick otherwise:

YouTube recently decided it would be a cool idea to identify my location thorugh my IP and then adjust the language accordingly. So, when I surf to www.youtube.com I get transferred to tw.youtube.com and instantly feel illiterate Now, Google basically does the same, but they always give me the "Google.com in English" link at the bottom, so it's easy to switch (and memorized for a while via cookie...). However, YouTube seems to have forgotten about us expats and I don't see such link, so I am stuck with the Chinese every time I get there. (Yes, there are the flags in the top right corner, but those don't offer US and are also very temporary.

Anyone has an idea how I can tell YouTube that my English reading abilities are better than my Chinese?

Yeah, I think you need a user account for it to remember your locale setting. Mine always gets it as "International" "Global", and I log in with my Google account (I think I had to link my Google account to my YouTube account though).

Hmmm, I thought I had tried this while logged in before... Well, thanks so far, it seems to work for the moment.

And FWIW, "www" is not US nut "Global"...

Most of you probably know this already, but I can watch this short movie again and again.
In my opinion the best of BMW Films' "The Hire" series.

Spotted on Cracked.com: 8 Animals with Real Superpowers

Everyone here know (at least I hope) that I'm always searching for the weirdest genre of movie that I can find. One of the most bizarre that I've found is a pakistanese (??) movie named "International Guerrillas", one of these days I will write a review of this. I have seen some movies made in Turkey that are really something too. But, I think that I've hit the jackpot with this movie. This is a nigerian version of the movie Titanic and this is probably one of the cheapest thing that I've seen in my life, even Seytan (an Exorcist ripoff made in Turkey) looks like an Hollywood production comparing to that. I don't know if I will take the jump and add some nigerian "movies" to my collection but it's really hard to resist
