Study suggests women's illness leads to partner abandonment more often than men's
A new study on "partner abandonment" has found that a woman is six times more likely to be separated or divorced soon after a diagnosis of cancer or multiple sclerosis than if a man in the relationship is the patient. Link... More.
Yves Béhar's seven-hour vibrator
Yves Béhar (who is in an epic struggle with Marc Newson to claim the title of "sexiest industrial designer alive") designed this vibrator. It looks like a Miyazaki cartoon creature. The Form 2 takes a two-pronged approach to the vibrator, giving its user what they're calling "Sensation in Stereo.... More.

MJ's funeral cost a mil
Michael Jackson's funeral cost one million dollars. His final outfit cost $35,000, and the flowers cost $16,000. Lord. Obviously I'm no MJ anyhow, but when I die, if there's a mil lying around? Feel free to bury me in nekkid dirt and use the rest to feed pie to starving kids.... More.

Also known as who's going to be kidnapping you and keeping you tied up in their (moms) basement tonight.
I'm growing a mustache.
Found: The next twenty Will Ferrell characters.
The redhead w/a beard at 3:34 is a dead ringer for Seth Green, perhaps a bit older. Seriously, this guy is possibly related.
Is that Husam at 1:01? I'm pretty sure it's the same guy from this video, about 10 seconds in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC5BIuhQBy0
I find myself feeling empathetic for the guys who don't have mustaches. I can't help but to think about how bad they desire to own a mustache and the torment that they must experience both in society and internally.
OMG . . . is the "Fred" in here THE Fred from the infamous "Who Needs a Movie" video?!

Has much changed? I get the feeling that online dating isn't too different, except that it's easier to hide any awkward characteristics with a self written profile you're not required to read to a video camera. It's still better than looking for a date in a bar, I think.
Not that I actually know what I'm talking about. I'm just really glad I'm married and don't have to deal with dating.
1987 actually. I first saw this on the Found Footage Festival youtube page. hilarious, but creepy
i'd have to say the best part is that they all specify *no druggies/whores/alcoholics/etc* like those are the only people watching this video, and that they like to *have fun* without clarifying what *FUN* is.
Cubby, spot on. I thought the same thing. And what a line:
I am interested in most phases of data processing.
Perfect!
I agree #10, when I saw that video first last week I actually wrote down that quote to share with others.
Gary Busey is searching for "The Goddess."
Well what do you know, *I* enjoy having fun too!
Oh, God! The mullets hurt!
oh god my dad still dresses like those guys (well not the hair, he dosen't have much of that). I thought I went through his closet and stole all the Cosby sweaters (for the salvation army) but it turns out he had more in storage. Ones older than me.
Alright, now where are the ladies?
Yeah, this definitely looks like the 80's.
"The Goddess" dude is totally cool.
This video makes me feel normal - thanks!
I totally agree with the seth green one at 3:34!!
YAY Mike!
What is a hamster?
I think this is an example where you possibly can judge a book by the cover... or the mullet... or the moustache
I now love my husband even more. OMG I'm so happy not to be dating.
What is a Donna Juanita? Does that just mean no mexicans? Or does that actually have something to do with the local brand of tortilla chips I like? Does that man have a problem with crispy treats?
Yeah, i saw a shortened version of this a while back. It's pretty awesome (though to be fair, it's true that online dating sites are not actually much better, just more modern) but i do really want to see the female versions.
Isn't it great laughing at lonely people and making fun of their clothes and hair?
Good times, takes me back to grade school.
@ Etho: I think Donna Juanita means girls that like to have lots of sex. No sluts allowed.
Hmmm.... I'll take mr data processing. He also didn't say anything about liking to have fun. Great stuff here! I'd like to see the women's videos now.
@ ill lich:
If it makes you feel better I'm not laughing at their clothes and hair. I'm laughing at their awful attitudes and terrible personalities. See, I'm not shallow like that.
It's raining men. Hallelujah. :/
"Fire Breathing Dragons"
I used to work ar Great Expectations, (I could only handle it for 3 weeks) and this vid takes me back!
I LOL'ed at the "goddess" dude.
I think I may actually know the Viking guy. No joke. I'll probably end up looking at him really carefully next time I see him, wondering if he's the guy in the video, and he'll ask me why I'm staring at him like that, and I'll say "Oh nothing".
And "I'll cry during a commercial"? Yeah, tell me about it.
As for comparisons with modern dating websites: I did online dating for a while and the girls had much more interesting personalities than this. Of all the girls I met, if any of them were to make a video, I'm certain it would not be this dull.
But one comparison I can make is about people who enjoy "having fun". That's like how half the girls on dating sites say they "love to laugh". Like, duh! That's almost tautological...
@cubby96
I was thinking the same thing. The resemblance is uncanny.
classic, thank you for this link!!
I hope someone out there still has the footage of a dating service show (based in the suburbs of Detroit) where they broadcast these types of interviews (taken in some ballroom). Yes I watched it, no I wasn't tempted to attend any of their functions.
ill lich: I'm the last person to make fun of the way someone looks. I'm as dorky looking as these guys. But I'm amazed at what they are saying. "I don't want any giant monsters who only think about food"? That's OK in your book?!
Forget Seth Green!
Totally Seth Rogen at 2:27. It's a stretch, but this may have actually been released by his camp as viral advertising. It's legit 1987 stock, but that really looks like 1987 Rogen, imo.
Where is the female equivalent? Or is the fact that there is none part of the tragedy?
Maybe both Seths inserted their schtick into a collection of legits? Who says they are interested in most phases of data processing, even in the 80s? Yeah, I'm calling VA on this one. But it's a good one.
I enjoy hunting wolverines with my uncle in Alaska.
Is that documentary film maker Ken Burns @ 3:00?
Did anybody else see someone that looked like Bruce Schneier? He was only on there for a couple of seconds around the 57 second mark...
Maybe it's just me.
Some phases of data processing are downright boring.
Bill Pullman and Edward Norton are both in the video. 2:30 to 3:00
Best resemblance: Bill Pullman at 2:37
Made me spit coffee on the screen: "Do you like...cats!?"
Will haunt me in my sleep: "Life is a playground and I want somebody to play with"
If I had to pick one: "Type A I'm not. Comfortable, caring and sincere about a relationship...I am."
Doesn't fun equal sex?
"'I don't want any giant monsters who only think about food'? That's OK in your book?!"
I'm with Mark on this one.
I don't think it's too much to expect that prospective giant monster dates think about other things, like crushing trains, tearing down power lines, and the finer aspects of wreaking havoc in dense urban centers.
Mustaches had been out of style for a good ten years in the late 80's, so these poor guys looked out-of-date even THEN.
I hope they all met the girl of their dreams - especially the Viking.
Seth Green may resemble the bearded ginger man, but Seth Rogen is only 26 years old. In 1987 he would have been like 5-6 years old...
"Hi Mom" cracked me up for a while.

the "data processing" guy is hot
I think the guy at 1:08 is Darrell Hammond.
So where are they now?
Did they find true love and happiness?
Does anyone out in the ether know any of these dashing chaps?
I'm dying to find out what happened to these guys...
The fictional version, featuring John Goodman.

Good stuff starts @ 2:48 !
(No sound till about that point, either, don't know why not.)
From David Byrne's "True Stories" (1986)
Donna Juanita is the female equivalant to a Don Juan....Hello...
Pretty hillllllarious! We have all made our mistakes along the line ... but, tho old guy giving the not to everthing is too classic. How could he possibly be alone lmao! Thanks for the foreward Weech!
why would anyone admit to being a Browns fan??!?!
Domestic violence. Sexual abuse. All sorts of alcoholics and stuff.
Ellen actually had three of the guys from this video on her show last week....it was quite funny and two of three are still single.....lol
For those of you who didnt know...The guy saying "no fatties...no hamsters...no posers" when he said no Donna Juanita's...he was trying to say the female equivalent of Don Juan. LAME!
Gosh, after he eliminates everyone the only female that will be good enough for him is his MOM! hahahahaha
