Armenian Reporter Loses It



Here's a hilarious video of an Armenian reporter - or the Circus director, perhaps - losing his mind on camera.

Put the volume up.

Edit: The crazy man in the video has been identified as Sos Petrosyan, the director of the circus in Armenia.

The Armenian Short Bus


Original source here.

It looks like the Armenians have a version of the Short Bus, too!

Of all the possible colors for that van-like thing, they had to choose yellow. Yellow! How could I resist making such an offensive post? For one, I enjoy reading hate mail; for another, it's yellow.

Video: VIP Draxt



This is a bit old, but who cares? It's extremely funny, especially if you "get" the jokes and other references.

Pictures: Armenian Carnival Ride

We can all agree that Armenia is as close as one can come to heaven, other than Southern California, the French Riviera, the Alps, and so on. Regardless, it's a great place to be, albeit a little hazardous. If you've ever wondered why kids who grow up in Armenia are tougher, then have a look at these pictures of an Armenian thrill ride!

Click images to enlarge them.


Obviously there won't be any power, so you have to do it yourself. You use your arms, your legs, and your mental determination to get the thing moving!


You somehow jump on and hang on for dear life. Notice the many ways in which you can be injured if you lose concentration!


Will it hold? It seems to be held together by rust and sharp pieces of metal.


Oh my, what a pleasant and completely safe view!

Compare this to the plasticky and soft toys found in the United States. Did kids get hurt on these rides? You bet! Did they cut their heads wide open? Weekly. But just as toddlers must fall down to learn how to walk, kids must learn to deal with danger, learn about reliance on friends and themselves, and in general form into healthy adults. For without danger one becomes complacent and complacency is the deadliest thing of all!

Oh, and to be completely fair it seems that the ride in the pictures is not found in an amusement park. Rather, it is an old and decommissioned ride that is thrown in some yard for kids to have fun with.

Harland Williams is a pretty funny guy! You probably know him best from Half Baked, RocketMan, and Down Periscope, not to mention many other fine movies.

Find out what happens when Harland visits an Armenian family for a day! Sounds funny already, doesn't it?
