the mrbrown show 18 May 2006: flush of fury (video)

Flush_of_furyWe have to say we were appalled by the toilet fight Youtube video uploaded by one of the kids in said toilet. For one, it was not much of a fight, and for another, the camera work was terrible.

So we at the mrbrown show decided to remix what was an already silly little fight, to see if we could take it to the next level of silly.

Please note that this video requires Quicktime and it is a large file.

Please also note that mr brown does not condone or encourage fighting. mr brown thinks fighting is dumb, not that it would stop kids from doing these dumb things.

Or filming them.

Badly.

the mrbrown show 2 May 2006: the persistently non-political podcast no. 7

The PNPP Team discusses the true meaning of being Persistently Non-Political, attends a very quiet event, and attempts to touch base with the Chinese heartland. It is not pretty.

And to the crowds who dropped by from Sammyboy's Al Fresco Coffee Shop and HardwareZone forums, welcome and thanks the support! We have never seen a show download this many times in 24 hours. And we are also blown away by fan comments like this:

"I laughed till i lao sai a little bit in my pants."

We feel there is a song in there somewhere.

I'm a little bit lao sai,
I'm a little bit rock and roll,
I laughed till I lao sai in my pants
and a little bit dripped down in my shoe...


(sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Bit Country, I'm a Little Rock and Roll")

So thank you! We hope we get even half as many listeners as there were attendees at that rally in Hougang. Because you guys is rock!
