Yahoo-w Is This News? There's No Writing ... or Talking. It's Taken from "Stupid Videos."

There's some writing.

My version of
High Speed Hammock-ing.
Comprised 50% of rhetorical questions--wherein they ask 2--which means the entire "news article" is 4 sentences long. That's not half-bad in comparison to those stories that forget to end. I think the best part of this "news article" is that it leaves you with nothing. You're just completely mesmerized, maybe laughing. But, really, it leaves you nothing.

There is a lot of laughing.

High-speed Hammock-ing feels like it requires at least a How To. Or maybe a disclaimer: Don't try this at home. These aren't professionals, and they never included a How To. So don't try it. While I want to say that this takes place in some outdoorsy/hipster-ish place like Washington State or Oregon, the rolling hills, lush green grass, over-cast sky, and garrulous laughter compel me to wonder if this Stupid Videos was filmed in Ireland. Southwest Coast? On a curling pitch perhaps.

Includes more talking ... so you can hear accents.


Who's "young" enough to remember Nick News W5 with famed report, Linda Ellerbee?? Ellerbee & Nick taught us that news is all about Who What When Where Why, & much of the time, How. Yahoo's Y!Screen post of Stupid Videos High speed Hammock-ing has the:

What.

Thanks again
