There’s a whole collection of “segway falls” on youtube and some of these are so entertaining it amazes me they don’t get more exposure. This one’s pretty good - the cape adds some effect but it doesn’t do much in the way of keeping this poor broad upright.

This is a little snippet of the glorious uninstructed youth of our fledgling manufactured democracy Iraq. The young man seen in this video has perfected several tasks that are necessary for survival in a warzone. First, he is excellent at gaining the attention of his occupiers putting him first in line for handouts. Second, and perhaps more important he has hardened the chip on his shoulder and become a rather salty young man who can be seen engaging in acts that require a complete lack of empathy. And lastly, this young man has perfected the art of oppression. He can be seen beating numerous children who stand between him and the treats thrown by the convoy, he can be seen kicking women, and he keeps a steady stagger that keeps his subordinates fearful of his never ending approach.

I’m not sure why I don’t remember this show since I’m sure I was the prime marketing target for this type of thing. I suppose that could be the reason it was canceled after 1 season; though watching the trailer leads me to believe otherwise. For one, this was created by the same group that introduced us to Baywatch. I have a feeling the older audience was either still busy watching Baywatch or simply getting tired of the pathetic excuses to show women in Bikinis on TV. Not to mention Terry “Hulk” Hogan, whom we’re somehow lead to believe became the sole proprietor of the most bad ass boat known to man.

I guess its rather easy to see why Thunder in Paradise was canceled.

Did that guy seriously toss a banana under a motorcycle?

At first I was confused, then I realized it’s nothing more than a large number of unsupervised youth playing with explosives - just like my younger days. I don’t recall launching a hammer high into the air over a crowd of people. I wonder where that thing landed.

The plan is to drop them from aircraft and annoy everyone on the planet.

Unless you’re cool with looking like an ass on TV. In that case, go for it - and go big.
