Must See Video: Dirty Dancing, Robotic Dogs, Best Obama Song Ever, And More!

Fox has always done a good job of airing reality game shows that appeal to the lowest common denominator. But this week they took an ad for a future "Moment of Truth" episode to Ancient Roman levels. If America's television tastes include wanting to see families "crushed," expect something like "My Dad Is Better Than Your Paraplegic Aunt" real soon.


From Fox 3/19/08.


It's no surprise to see scantily clad women on TV anymore. It's not even that shocking to see said ladies instructing their viewing audience in the fine art of dry humping. But when you take a look at who their audience is, as evidenced in this clip (link) from an episode that aired three weeks ago, you can't help but be a little disturbed.


From CW 3/17/08.

David Paterson was sworn in this week as New York's new governor, and it was the job of news reporters around the country to come up with tasteful ways of mentioning his blindness without condescending or patronizing his disability. This reporter from NBC4 didn't get the memo.


From WNBC 3/17/08.

I'm sure this robotic dog is a technological breakthrough and a huge accomplishment for its engineers at Boston Dynamics, but couldn't they have at least added puppy ears or a tail or something? Anything to keep this thing out of my nightmares for the next week?

Finally this week, whatever hope is left for the Clinton campaign will be shattered after this inspiring music video makes its way around the interwebs. If Barack Obama doesn't pick this as his official inaugural theme song, he doesn't deserve to be our next president.

The Obama song I find highly re-"sistable". It is a demonstration of the failure of arts (especially music) education in the schools.

I'll try not to hold it against Barack since he didn't write the damn thing but I think he should denounce it as soon as possible.;-(

That robodog actually looked like two wingless houseflies after a headon collision.

Don't the Japanese have better robots?
As for the song, sorry but it really sucks.
Barack, stick to this, it's a winner:

i have to agree. there's nothing "inspiring" about it. it's not even clever! just stating facts about obama followed by "sistible"

Meanwhile at Camp Hillary, Mark Penn and team busily finish their own music video tribute to Hillary. From the motion picture soundtrack of Fatal Attraction, Hillary sings "I'm never, ever, ever, giving up. You owe me!" A nice upbeat number in a stalker kind of way.

Actually, though I'm an Obama backer, I found it kind fo stupid. But each to their own.

That robotic dog was awesome. I would hate to see that coming towards me in a dark alley. The Obama-sistable song was great too.

What is it with people wanting to destroy their family on national TV for 15 minutes of fame and a few bucks? Is it for the attention or what? I would hate to hurt my family on national TV or anywhere for that matter. What ever happened to the days of hiding your daughter so your friends and family didn't know she was pregnant? I don't know what's worse...

Dear Santa,

I'd like a Boston Dynamic Robotic Spider Dog with an M1Grenade launcher and a compass in the stock.

Your friend,
the Military Industrial Complex

Let's see: Dirty dancing. Though it may not be the most tasteful, I'd rather my children see than than the dismembered bodies on the nightly news.

The robotic dog looks and sounds more like a mutant fly! Scary!

Although the reporters take on the new Governor may not have been well thought out, they were true!

As for the Obama-sistible -- YOU ROCK, GUYS! SPREAD THE WORD!

Is it the robot dog from Fahrenheit 451?

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 10:30 AM on 03/22/2008

That robot was truly amazing. It may not have looked like much until you realize that thing was walking over all kinds of terrain and staying upright no matter what, even when kicked. It reminded me of those giant walker things from Star Wars. I am waiting for the sit-in version.

I'm sure Robert Palmer would give the rights away if it meant getting the Old Fart party out of office.
