Except us, Paul. And what more do you really need?

You make a very valid point.

Hey, guess what, that viral video of strangers kissing is actually an ad for clothes. I didn't pick up on that, probably because I was too busy pointing out how dumb it is in the first place. Everyone else was commenting "so beautiful" or "it's touching" or etc. My comment "Strangers kissing for the first time is basically every porno ever made."

If you fuckers would post more I wouldn't have to waste so much time on Facebook. I'd much rather waste it here.

Yeah, it's much easier to get "strangers" to agree to smooch when they're all models and actors an' shit, and at least pre-qualified to be somewhat attractive.

Here is a completely terrible game my friends in New York taught me (it worked well on the streets of Manhattan). When you are walking down a busy street, take notice of the next ten people of the opposite sex (or same, or both, depending on your preferences) who pass you in the opposite direction (and appear to be of the age of consent). You theoretically have to sleep with one of those ten. But you have to decide on each in turn--i.e. you can pick #1 until #2 comes along, at that point #1 is gone. You can't go back. And once you've decided, you have to stick with it, so if I pick woman #3 and then #7 turns out to be Scarlett Johansson, too bad for me. And if you don't take 1 through 9, you MUST take #10, no matter who they are.

What if the first person was Scarlett Johanson and the second person was Elizabeth Taylor circa 1956? What a drag it would be to have to settle for Scarlett Johanson. Ha ha ha... Of course I would probably pass on Ellie May and get stuck with Miss Hathaway.

Do you buy her flowers first?

I like this game better:

Pick a person at random and watch them go about their business, and try to figure out what that person's lover adores the most about him/her. Works best when you choose people who are quirky or unconventionally attractive.

Also, I liked the strangers kissing video. I don't care that it's a clothing ad, even. It makes me want to kiss a bunch of strangers just to see what it's like. Seems like a fun way to spend an afternoon.

I don't care that it's a clothing ad either. I do care that it's fake and loads of people believed it.

[AugustWest]

Is it fake?

I mean, the partici##### may or may not have been actors, but the awkwardness and chemistry that film portrayed seemed absolutely real to me.  Do you think it is not a little awkward to have first time make outs with a complete stranger even if you are an actor?

[pmcd9]

Obviously there's no way to know for certain, but yeah, of course it's fake. It wasn't random people recruited for a social experiment, it was actors hired to play a role. How much did they rehearse the scene? How many takes were there before they captured the perfect awkward moment? How much discussion was there between the players beforehand? How much direction were they given? Even if it were technically strangers kissing it wasn't real.

[pmcd9]

I just came up with an idea and I want to road test it here. To people who misuse to/too. For instance someone just commented "to funny." My reply was "to funny and beyond." Like Buzz Lightyear might say if he wanted to go to funny instead of infinity. I'm wondering if that would work in any situation? This could be a real game changer for me on FB. Ha ha ha...

What's the deal with Palm Oil? I keep seeing pictures of dead apes and something about don't buy palm oil. I haven't bothered to read the articles because I am assuming it's probably some distorted bullshit, but I am actually curious as to what is going on.

[theinevitable]

It is not distorted, it is some fucked up shit. But unfortunately palm oil is in nearly everything.

[wombat]

Yeah, palm oil is actually terrible environmentally, and very hard to avoid if you buy any manufactured food at all. Even practically everything at Whole Foods. It's very frustrating.

[pmcd9]

Well that's a bummer.

[pmcd9]

What's the alternative?
