As I hear the cheers and jeers, I am reminded, we are the same species that invented bear baiting. I expect this to be a mid-season replacement for Jay Leno later this year. #viralvideo
@iheartapocalypse: Is there some reason we're no longer a part of the natural world? Lions eat deer. Things eat other things. It's not our fault that that's pretty frikking awesome to watch. We're evolved creatures who used to be preyed on, of course we find it fascinating to watch.
Now quit yer bellyaching and just enjoy watching shark week, for christ's sake. #viralvideo
I'm a parent who has taken the kids to a lot of zoos.
Though I might watch it on YouTube, if I were to ever run across a lion eating a deer in real life, I'd most likely shuffle the kids to another exhibit and I really don't think I'd revert to baby talk.
Sure... circle of life, but that's why they made cable.
This story is like Where the Red Fern Grows meets Bambi. With lions.
It's like God decided that English students needed Gawker to send them the perfect inspiration for that Intro to Storytelling assignment that they've been procrastinating on. #viralvideo
I'm sorry, but this was one of the funniest damn things I've seen all weekend. That tiger was so self conscious. I think it purposely let the deer get away just to appease the masses. It's either that or he's just the laziest tiger ever.
@raincoaster: I think I was 8 or 9. It was my first time at sleep-away camp. The counselors said we were watching a movie that evening. This is what they showed us, then they laughed and laughed and laughed... #viralvideo
Am I the only one who finds the hysterics of the crowd terrible and frightening? It's like an instant, just-add-water version of the kind of 24 hour news-inspired rubbernecking people do when celebrities die, or when boys float into the sky (or not) in giant science fiction balloons created by their loony fathers.
Also, lady, that fucking deer can't understand you when you tell it to run into the water. Hence, you are a moron. #viralvideo
The winds have shifted direction and the fire is now spreading towards Acton. The fires are burning on the north side of the slopes so there aren't any visible flames. It would be interesting to go up the crest, but its barricaded like crazy. The police are out too, making sure looters don't do their thing. Some guy on Lake ave. in Altadena was taking it hardcore and walking around with a shotgun.
35,000 acres burned and a 110 mile perimeter. They're just letting this thing burn its way out.
we were evacuated yesterday afternoon but the fire changed direction. We're packed up and ready to go if we have to. They expect containment Sept. 8 (!) Someone told us that Santa Ana winds are expected tonight or tomorrow; that's the last thing we need right now. Every morning the smoke is so thick we can't see across the street. The ash that's been raining down on us today looks like giant snow flakes. Feels like we're sitting in the bottom of a giant ashtray with fifteen smoking cigarettes propped in it.
I'm 11-12 miles south of this fire and the air quality is shit, but you would not believe how many diehards are out there jogging. Their lungs may be black, but their bodies are going to be fit. Only in LA, people.
Oh, and please, folks. If they tell you to evacuate, evacuate. You're not doing the firefighters any favors by sticking around.
Yesterday I saw the wall of flames from miles away, an atheist's prayer goes out to everyone, their pets and the forest creatures who are losing their homes/habitat. You can't know the apocalyptic-four-horsemen, sinners be damned future until you've walked around under a red sky.
What, you mean everybody doesn't bring dental floss into the bedroom? What the hell else do you floss your teeth with after your man has waxed his balls clean?
