VIDEO [CC] - If Canadians made a rap diss video, we hope it's not this embarrassing.
Huffingtonpost - In College Humor's (and that's humor without the "u") funny attempt to recreate a so-called Canadian rap diss video, what you're left with is almost two and a half minutes of maple syrup, age-old stereotypes and a lot of apologizing. And hey, we get it we're kind people who love to say "sorry," eat flapjacks and brag about our healthcare, but seriously, are we that predictable?
But in all earnestness, we are impressed with some of the rhymes, the very Canadian backdrop, the rappers' outfits, and let's just say we definitely have things we're grateful for from our American cousins down below.
We do have one suggestion though: maybe next time if we're in the need of a good rapper and an equally good diss, we would just give Drake a call? Source
VIDEO: Weird News - Giving someone 'the finger' in Japanese Sign Language doesn't mean what you think it does.
The seemingly rude gesture is just a normal word when you put it into context but can you guess what it means? It might seem like a rude gesture to us but giving someone 'the finger' simply means 'brother' when you put it into the context of Japanese Sign Language.
Sticking up one middle finger is translated as 'ani' or 兄 which means 'older brother'.
Alternating two middle fingers in the air can be translated as 'kyoudai' or 兄弟 which simply means 'siblings'.
And while the Western world might attach a very different meaning to this gesture, it has never been known as a profanity in Japan. Japanese children are taught to attach names to all the fingers, according to Kotaku.com.
For example, the thumb is the 'father finger', the index finger is the 'mother finger', the middle finger is the brother finger', the ring finger is the 'sister finger' and the little finger is the 'baby finger'.
However, while the middle finger might not actually mean something as crude as it does in American or English culture, many Japanese people are now more than aware of the double meaning after the gesture has emerged in films.

VIDEO: Weird News - Meet 'Hitler Cat,' the Nazi leader pussy that makes 'Grumpy Cat' look charming!
MOSCOW - The purred Reich, Cat that looks like Hitler 'even has the same personality as Adolf', says its owner.
The internet-famous ‘Grumpy Cat’ has just received a Russian rival for the most severe looking feline on the planet, after one Muscovite revealed her cat bares a striking resemblance to former Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
With markings forming a distinctive black moustache and side parted hairline, this cat bears a remarkable similarity to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
But the comparison doesn't end there - owner Elena Suleymanyan also likens her pet's temper and tantrums to that of the Second World War dictator.
Ms Suleymanyan, 44, noticed the one-year-old hairless donskoy cat looked like Hitler as soon as he was born due to his distinctive markings and intense gaze.
But when she realised the cat also had similar characteristics to the totalitarian leader, namely, his bad temper, the comparison became spookily real.
Ms Suleymanyan, a pharmacist from Moscow, said: 'Anyone who meets Portos is immediately taken aback by his likeness to Adolf Hitler.
TOP 10 Cats That Look Like Hitler - Hitler is most often regarded as the most evil man in history and the architect of the destruction of Europe. However, on the light side Hitler had a funny short moustache and stone blue eyes. Here is a collection of photos of cats that look like Adolf Hitler.

VIDEO: Hilarious movie clip - How to call to phone sex if you are Deaf.
“The Little Death” does have one terrific ace up its sleeve: a fifth story, almost completely unconnected to the others, featuring Monica (Erin James, a bit of a Sally Hawkins lookalike), who works at a Skype-like video service translating phone calls for the Deaf.
On a slow night, she winds up on a call with Sam (T.J. Power), only to find that he wants her to mediate his conversation with a phone-sex operator (Genevieve Hegney). What ensues is a perfectly timed, beautifully structured verbal and gestural farce that manages to be at once raucously funny, sweetly touching and genuinely romantic.
Rife with awkwardness and miscommunication, and keenly attuned to the reality of what a mixed blessing technology can be, the story would work well as a stand-enough short; as such, it’s easily the most promising evidence here that Lawson the writer-director may yet have bigger and better things ahead of him...

The Little Death Official Trailer - Directed by and starring Josh Lawson also with Bojana Novakovic, Damon Herriman.
The Little Death is a truly original comedy about sex, love, relationships and taboo. In a multi story narrative, we peer behind the closed doors of a seemingly normal suburban street. A woman with a dangerous fantasy and her partners struggle to please her. A man who begins an affair with his own wife without her knowing anything about it.
A couple struggling to keep things together after a sexual experiment spins out of control. A woman who can only find pleasure in her husband's pain. A call centre operator caught in the middle of a dirty and chaotic phone call. And the distractingly charming new neighbour who connects them all.
The little Death explores why do we want what we want? How far will we go to get it? What are the consequences of that fleeting moment of sexual ecstasy?
Callis became an overnight celebrity this week for her animated facial expressions as she interpreted ASL for Michael R. Bloomberg during his many press conferences regarding Hurricane Sandy . But as journalist Lilit Marcus wrote over at the Atlantic, much of the coverage of Callis was patronizing to ASL speakers.
Marcus is the child of two hearing impaired parents and was dismayed, if not entirely surprised, that the hearing world seemed to think Callis was there to provide goofy entertainment.
Yes, Lydia Callis’ facial expressions and large, emphatic signs are a bit unusual among interpreters, but they’re not incorrect. Most interpreters have a difference between the way that they sign for large groups and the way that they sign for small ones.
Callis’ sign style reminds me more of the way that interpreters translate at Broadway shows or at college graduations, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong or that she’s doing it for attention... Read More.
