The Golden God Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Random "Family Feud" (Yank Family Fortunes) videos have been popping up on my FB the past few days and some of the answers the Yanks come away with are absolutely horrendous, they really fit the stereotype of being dumb as f**k. Question was something like "name a country where the woman might have moustaches", first guy answers France, second guy answers Paris... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting stuff Watched a fair bit of it the first time they showed it, would have preferred it if they talked more about the technical challenges rather than the political and social, but well put together. I'll try to finish it this time around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six parts, watched the first three tonight. Very good, with the usual assortment of bonkers American law enforcement officers, gangsters, people to sympathise with and some plain weirdos.

Finished watching this, enjoyable stuff. I was waiting for some high-tech explanation as to how the guy behind it managed to circumvent the maximum security conditions at the place that printed the winning stickers. What actually happened was that Spoiler he had an envelope holding the winning pieces which he delivered from the printing plant to the place where they made the McDonald's packaging, with a chaperone accompanying him to ensure no funny business. Then somebody accidentally sent him a sheet of the security stickers that sealed the envelopes, so all he had to do was go into the toilets at the airport (the chaperone was a woman so she couldn't follow him!!!!!) and take out the winners then replace them with ordinary ones and put a new sticker on the envelope. The envelope itself was in a briefcase with combination locks - he had one combination and she had the other, so in theory neither one could open it on their own, but he just watched her opening her side.

If you like stuff like Wallender & Wisting you should enjoy this This is supposed to be the final series they're making of Cardinal. Think it was series 1 or 2, with the drug dealer guys out in the boondocks, & their gangleader who thought that he had tribal God-like powers. That was an excellent series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to five live and Chris stark was going on about how funny it was. He’s either an investor or insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 A Black And White Killing. Two part BBC documentary about a black man being killed by a white man with his vehicle in Portland, Oregon. Starts out pretty straightforward then takes a bit of a twist. Seems to have been on last year and presumably back on now due to recent events. Well worth a watch but would tend to reinforce the view that America is a totally fucked up shit hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanton Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Motorway Patrol / Highway Patrol - New Zealand's & Australia's version of Police Camera Action . If the actions of the people featured on these programs weren't so shockingly serious this would be comedy gold , some of the folks on here look as if they'd struggle to walk along the pavement unaided , never mind drive a motor vehicle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
