Thought it was funny as heck myself.

More posters these days seriously need to lighten up instead of raining on everyone's parade (threads)

Kind of like those who can't stop themselves from pointing out spelling, grammar and, believe it or not, punctuation errors.

It's just an annoying part of the www.
I don't want to get too off-topic, as the main topic of this post is the video, but I wanted to address the spelling/grammar correction issue.

I do agree that "uptight" types of persons can be annoying. Even so, I have to say, I am, at times, one of those who points out spelling errors and the like, and frankly I don't see what the big deal is about it, as long as you do so in a polite and cordial way, not in a mean-spirited and snotty sort of way just for the sake of being ugly and a show-off/know-it-all type of person. To me, it has nothing to do with "rigidity," it's about pointing out factual rights and wrongs and taking pride in doing things the proper way, especially when we are talking about facts here, not opinions. It's not someone's opinion that "The dog fell on it's rear" is wrong in terms of it's vs its, it's a fact. Correcting facts shouldn't be regarded as an annoying thing for a person to do, so long as they do so gently and without a haughty attitude.

I have no problems with the video being posted. Have at it, I say.

I hope the little old ladies got the guy's license number so they could get his insurance to pay for any damages but if they didn't, I'm sure they got some good satisfaction.

When he got to the part about the old lady beating the guy with the bible I just lost it. Too funny.

Regarding the age of the incident, a good story never gets old. So to the poster who objected to the fact that this took place some years ago but is being posted now, lighten up. The OP heard the story just last night. That's the "current" in the Current Events portion of our program. I believe this gives it a place in the Current Events Forum.

Um....as Martha Stewart might say, "Reading comprehension is a good thing."

I didn't say you shouldn't post it, and I didn't tell you where to post it. I simply stated that I wasn't buying it as a real clip. BTW, I happen to have liked the Roy Mercer radio prank spots, but I never cared for Ruth Buzzi's swatting-men-with-her-purse schtick. We all have our standards.

Don't be so defensive.
