Professional Finger Skateboarder

I never really was a skateboarding fan.  I had friends that enjoyed it, but I just couldn't get the hang of it.  Some people were born to Cook, some to Skateboard. LOL.

But this video takes skateboarding to a whole new level - fingerboarding.  Yep, you read that correctly - "Finger" boarding.

I'd have to say, Taylor Rosenbauer really intrigued me with this video.  The thought of replicating what a person can do on a board in a miniature sized skate park by using his finger, is darn impressive.  Check it out, it's pretty cool, and he did a super job of taping and editing the video as well.

Gay Ads That Matter - Issue No. 008 - A Skateboarder's Love

When the commercial down below first aired, the amount of backlash from the conservative right was endless.  This went on for months, even years.  I have to hand it to MTV for standing their ground, for being big supporters of anti-discrimination.  And since then, we have watched as ABC, NBC, CBS, and yes, even FOX have been showing programming directed at gay youth, bullying, and teen suicides.

In the Following Video two serious-looking young guys in baseball caps arrive with a big tool kit, blocks of wood and some blueprints. They begin sawing, drilling and hammering.

They build a half-pipe for skateboarding and, when it's complete, give each other a macho handshake and then pull each other forward for a sensual kiss. The text then offers, "You never know."

The young audience of MTV of course respects the idea of skaters, but would not expect them to be gay. The kiss is an unexpected juxtaposition against the macho handshake, thus breaking stereotypes.

MTV has set the gold standard among all advertisers for the most ads that refer to the community, more than 25 since 1996, in addition to carrying numerous gay ads from other companies and running its own supportive gay-inclusive programming.  Check out the commercial below.

Through The Streets of Brooklyn in High Definition

Shot on Rule Boston Camera's Phantom Flex camera, this astonishing film, 8 Hours in Brooklyn, directed by Jonathan Bregel is absolutely breathtaking.  

The footage was shot with an 8 hour span in Brooklyn, NYC and features people going about their regular day.  From kids playing basketball to skaters boarding through the streets, kids's playing slip 'n slide, and a tattooist inking someone.  The images are captivating and mind blowing, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The Woes of Being a Bad Parent - Woman Locks Two Babies In Car

Okay, so maybe she isn't a bad parent.  Well...  I don't know, this is a tuff one.

On the one hand, it was an accident.  How many times have you locked yourself out inadvertently, whether it be a house, or car? I have, many times. So because of this, I have a spare key in my front pocket and one in my wallet. 

On the second hand, she's a parent of two precious babies, shouldn't she have had a spare key in her purse, or underneath the vehicle somewhere?  

In the video you're about to see, a mother locks her babies inside her car in the middle of our hot, scorching summer.  Worried that the locksmith will not make it in time, she asks some nearby skaters if they could help break a window in her car, but after several unsuccessful attempts, a man comes by and breaks it for her instead.  The video contains vulgar language not suitable for the workplace.  Put your headphones on. :-)

Wonder Woman Was A Skateboarding Genius!

You see? This is the reason everyone has trouble writing a script, much less producing a movie or television show.
 
Lynda Carter was the one, and only Wonder Woman! She was a Skateboarding Whiz Too!

Zac Efron Skateboards With An Open Shirt and Even Hotter Body!

 

I don't get it... I thought they said he was getting fat?  He doesn't look fat to me, in fact, Zac Efron looks like a mighty fine piece of meat.  

The star of the "Lucky One" recently took a stroll on his skateboard through Manhattan Beach,  And nevermind that his new "tattoo" went viral on the internet 3 days ago.   

I'm sure my friend and co-worker, Rosa, wouldn't mind seeing additional pictures of our dreamy hunk here.
