Why close quarters combat with the South Korean military is a bad idea

Here is a video of South Korea’s military displaying some unorthodox forms of fighting. I suppose being able to break concrete blocks with your head would come in handy if you ran out of ammo.

In the news this week

Adam CarollaI was happy to hear Adam Carolla step up and highlight the hypocrisy in the media regarding his recent OWS rant. The sooner we realize it exists on the far right AND the far left, the better off we’ll be in this country.
Korn
Jonathan Davis, lead singer of the band Korn is not known to speak politically about things, but in a recent interview with Billboard.com, he explains his thinking behind the new track “Illuminati.” He believes that Obama is “an Illuminati puppet” and that maybe this One World Government stuff holds some truth. It seems he doesn’t care what other musicians in the industry think about his conspiracy theory thinking. I respect him for speaking his mind on a fear that more and more regular folks in America have. Not just crazies. 🙂
Sat Chair
Live in an apartment or condo that doesn’t allow you to install a satellite dish? Sat+ has created a chair-shaped satellite dish secretly giving you hundreds of channels without being hassled by your landlord. For the time being the Sat Chair looks is only available from European sites for around $325. Maybe Dish or DirectTV will starting making some?


I am finally reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and am really looking forward to the film. Here is an 8 minute trailer if you are interested.
A soldier who returned home after serving in Afghanistan surprised her family by popping out of a Christmas gift.
Am I a jerk for being tired of seeing news reports of soldiers return home to surprise a family member? Here’s another one. Like flash mobs of people dancing in the street, these cute (but sappy) reunions are becoming an everyday occurrence.

Albert Pujols

Albert Pujols thanking God for the obscene amount of money he just got paid.


Albert Pujols agreed to a deal that will pay him $254 million over 10 years to play baseball (a game) for the Angels. I love baseball, but am tired of teams trying to buy championships. Can we please just get a salary cap in place???

Will Ferrell commericals for Old Milwaukee

Will Ferrell is a big enough star that he can pretty much do whatever he wants. He’s one of Hollywood’s $20 million men, and while I can’t speak to the financials of Funny or Die, I’m going to assume that by now it is pulling in some decent cash. So what is Jackie Moon’s next big gig? Shilling for Old Milwaukee. (Watch them all at guyism)

“THIS IS NOT DRILL”

December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy.

Radiogram to military installations.

On December 7, 1941, the U.S. naval base on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, was attacked by Japan. In less than 2 hours, the U.S. Pacific Fleet was devastated, and more than 3,500 Americans were either killed or wounded. The incident triggered a mobilization for war. On December 8, the United States declared war against Japan; on December 11, Germany and Italy declared war against the United States.

This small, short document symbolizes and foreshadows the events and world climate that would define the last half of the twentieth century.
