What is Love? Sesame Street Knows!

fiona — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:24:28 +0000

Another video today, but it is in honour of a very special occasion: the 40th anniversary of the first episode of Sesame Street. And because the show has spent the last 40 years teaching kids about anything and everything, it has also found an answer to that old question “What is love?”:

Grover: “What is love?”
Chelsea: “Love is something to do with hugs and kisses and a warm feeling inside.”
Grover: “Yeaaaah! Boy, love sounds great!”

Super Mario Scores!

If you loved playing Super Mario Bros. as a kid, these videos might take the innocence out of some fond childhood memories. Here, Mario doesn’t just save the princess – he is rewarded for his troubles.

This video by Family Guy-creator Seth Macfarlane isn’t exactly PG-rated either: less Sex (Mario doesn’t even get a kiss), but more violence.

Be Friends with your Ex on Facebook? Are you Kidding?

Whether or not you can or should stay friends with your ex is an old dilemma. But social networks like Facebook don’t just make it easier to trace old friends, they also make it easier for your ex to trace you, whether you want to be friends or not. So: what to do when you receive a friend request from your ex on Facebook? Accept? Ignore? Decline?

Australian singer Kate Miller-Heidke has a pretty strong response to the question “Friends with your Ex on Facebook – yea or nay?”

The song is about an ex who broke her heart years ago and now wants to be her friend on Facebook. Her reaction: “R U ******* Kidding Me?”. She just doesn’t care “what kind of Cocktail he is” Instead, she says: “I don’t don’t give a toss if you’re a pirate or a ninja, I suspect you’d be a pirate but I don’t wanna verify it….and I certainly don’t want you poking me!” So instead of being friends with her ex on Facebook, she clicks “ignore”.

It’s all very “end of a relationship 2.0″!

Having a relationship problem? Thankfully, Ben and Sarah are here to help. They post video advice with solutions to pretty much every relationship problem. The great thing is, while most of the advice is pretty useful, the videos are also very tongue in cheek, sometimes even laugh-out-loud funny!

Like “How To Stop A Row In 30 Seconds”:

Dating Humor: How To Stop A Row In 30 Seconds

The word “whipped” springs to mind… But it’s in the “Dating Humour” category! But then again, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain some good advice!

All of Ben and Sarahs relationship problem-solving videos are here. We think “How To Be The Perfect Boyfriend” and “How To Be The Perfect Girlfriend” are a good place to start

Lonely? Sad? Get some Free Hugs!

Maybe you’ve heard of them, maybe you’ve even seen them before – people giving free hugs to total strangers in public places. You usually find them in busy places, in shopping centres, pedestrian zones and near train stations, carrying signs that read Free Hugs. Usually, they are also surrounded by a confused, amused or intrigued – and a few people who want to collect their free hugs.

But what’s the point of all these free hugs? For once, this is a crazy movement that didn’t originate in the USA, but in Canada. There are several stories about how the Free Hugs Campaign started, but the gist is always the same: the guy who invented free hugs was sad and lonely and far from the people who could have given him a simple hug to make him feel betterh. He would have loved nothing more than a friendly hug at that moment, so he founded the Free Hugs Campaign, which has been spreading free hugs worldwide ever since:

Some people think the idea is a little silly, some start discussions about the legal implications of giving away free hugs in public (!) and others are overwhelmed and enthusiastic. Free Hugs fans tell of the warm, fuzzy feeling a free hug gives them, that it cures sadness and loneliness, that it puts smiles on the faces of huggers and huggees, and that they want to make the world a friendlier place.

Many recipients of free hugs become huggers themselves. After all, anyone who gives a free hug, automatically gets a free hug back

Dating Advice and Shoulder Pads

fiona — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 13:04:32 +0000

Where can you find the best dating advice? These days, all the best dating advice seems to be coming from the 80s. Recently several dating advice videos from the 80s have been making the rounds and although we don’t recommend you take their advice, they are highly amusing.

The dating expert in the following video recommends initiating a conversation. So far so good, but what shall we talk about? “A book with an unusual title, a small stuffed animal, interesting pieces of jewellery, a pet, sports jersey, a sports magazine or a t-shirt with a slogan.” Uh, WHAT? Alternatively, women could pretend to be interested in sports. Great strategy – if you’re keen of ending up in a relationship based on made-up common interests.

The greying business man in the next video is the only one with a piece of useful dating advice. If you find a person attractive, you should engage them in a conversation that is interesting for both of you. Genius!

Artsy Online Dating

fiona — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 07:55:00 +0000

Online dating goes artsy! Blue and pink balloons show who is looking for love online, what they’re looking for and what they’re offering in this interactive piece of art currently showing at the MoMA. The artists don’t just show who is looking for love online, but also why – „I want you to want me“ is the title of the piece and also the sentiment that unites the men and women looking for love through online dating!

And if you’re wondering who the song is by: originally it’s these guys, another version is here.
