The video says this fire happened three days ago (16/9/08) but I haven’t heard anything about it. Here is another video showing the plane more clearly.

SONY could slap their logo at the end of this and release it as part of their Color Like No Other campaign. [Vimeo]

This is one of those look at how much free time some people have posts. A friend was telling me he has a friend who’s Ramadan working hours is from 11 to 1PM which is even less working hours then the banks which are open from 10:30 to 1PM. Seriously I need to change jobs. [YouTube]

I have been trying to follow this year�s ‘Ramadan Season’ television; however, most of our beloved shows have given up on originality and are just trying to add a new taboo to a recycled story line.

My family actually looks forward to the commercial breaks more than the shows themselves. You know there is something wrong when advertisements are more entertaining than the content itself. [YouTube]

Just saw this on CNN, a Kite Surfer in Florida got swept away and got thrown into a building and it was all caught on video. [YouTube]

Update: Fixed the video

My advertising agency (JWT) is currently looking to hire a Senior Art Director and a Kuwaiti Copywriter. If you’re interested send me an email and I will get back to you. [Email Me]

There is a British TV show called “Banged Up Abroad” where the stories revolve around British citizens who were arrested abroad usually on drug related charges. The trailer above is for an episode where a British guy in the late 80’s gets caught dealing drugs in Kuwait and gets sentenced to 5 years in prison. Saddam then invaded Kuwait in 1990 and he was able to escape back to England.

What I don’t get is this TV show. Why would you turn criminals like drug dealers into semi celebrities? [YouTube]

Note: Qualitynet users, if you get an error that the video is no longer available its because of Qualitynet. The video is still online but somethings weird with the Qualitynet connection and 80% of YouTube videos are showing as no longer available. I’ve been having this issue for over a week now.

First they danced to Thriller, then they danced to MC Hammer and now the prisoners are back doing the Macarena. Isn’t dancing to the Macarena counted as a form of torture? [YouTube]

A strange escalator accident caught on video.
According to the Associate Press:

At least 20 people have been injured after an escalator at a Tokyo convention centre jerked to an abrupt halt. The stoppage knocked down dozens of people. The worst of the injuries appears to be a broken leg.

Note: If you get a error that the video is no longer available then you most probably are on Qualitynet. They’re having weird issues which they will hopefully solve.

Just found a bunch of videos that show the horrifying living conditions of some workers in Kuwait. The video above is of their sleeping quarters, they are ten to a room and it doesn’t look like they have AC. Here is a link to the rest of the videos. [Link]

Don’t recognize the school but it seems like a regular occurrence in this class. Someone is going to get in trouble now… [YouTube]

He screamed like a girl but I probably would to. Ok it turns out it was a GIRL who was hit by lightning not a guy, my mistake. [Flickr]

Oobject has a top 16 of the most popular Arab videos involving stunts with cars. I’ve watched most of them but there were a few I hadn’t seen before. Interesting videos if you haven’t seen them yet. [Link]

I wonder what happened to the guy! [Link]

Some lucky guy in Kuwait has an actual size flight simulator in his home. From the short video it looks very real and very cool. [YouTube]
