Russians snub Obama

Looking on the internet, I found a video where Russians snub Obama, as he was trying to give a handshake to Russian officials. Obama got snubbed in three occasions. I personally think that this is a lack of manners from the Russians side, this is politics, and politics involve diplomacy.

Here is the video where Russians snub Obama:



This is not the first time this happens to Obama, here is the video where the Arabian king snubs Obama:



This is a lack of respect, specially in the world of politics.

Last Concert

It happens that today July 13th Michael Jackson was scheduled to start his last and final tour "This Is It". It is sad this never became a reality.
A London tabloid reported that LaToya Jackson said her brother was murdered to steal his fortune, this is just a rumor, and these tabloids should stop exploiting MJ to make news.

Just a thought.

Kim Jong Il Was Diagnosed Pancreatic Cancer!


North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer according to South Korea's YTN TV network on Monday.
The health status of Kim Jong Il was a secret that his government wanted to keep from the world.
Pancreatic cancer is the type of cancer that has poor prognosis, and is the leading cause of death from other kind of cancers. This is because it spreads fast and when i'ts detected the cancer has already advanced.

Now the question is, what would happen to North Korea with the passing of Kim Jong Il? Would it bring internal conflicts? Would his youngest son succeed him and take control of the country?

Only time will tell.

World Record of Jokes!



Jose Ordoñez is a Colombian comedian who is trying to break his own record of telling jokes for 72 hours straight, without breaks and no sleeping. This is not the first time this comedian attempts such a thing. On December 28 1993 in Bogota Colombia. He told jokes during 24 hours non stop, no break, no sleep.




Now 16 years later, he comes back and wants to break his own world record, this time, he is doing it for 72 hours straight. I was very fortunate to be there and witnessed this amazing thing, his jokes are awesome, and are not repetitive, he has different characters, and keeps the same energy from the begining to the end.

He is doing this for charity, for the displaced kids by violence in Colombia. This world record is being transmitted in the United States, Latin America and the rest of the world where spanish is spoken. I was lucky to be there for the first attempt which was very succesfull. I was only 13 years old, but I remember I enjoyed it a lot, and feel fortunate to do it again after 16 years.


Colombia is the second country in the world with more displaced people. So this unfortunate people run away from violent people, groups or gangs, and go as refugees to big cities asking for help. This as become a big social problem, because there are more and more coming from other cities, and most of the times are being ignored. They are abandoned to their own luck, the ones that are suffering the most are the kids, which don't have access to education, don't have health benefits and a place to sleep. They have to sleep under a bridge, on parks on streets.

This social problem started on World War II. This conflict is known as forced migration, violent coercion or forced displacement. One perfect example of this situation are the displaced people from Hurricane Katrina.

This could happen anywhere, and no country is exempt from this flagellum.


So, this show will last until Sunday morning, so I encourage all the Spanish speaking people to visit http://recordmundialdechistes.com where they can find the radio stations online to listen to this program and if possible donate for charity, because this is all about, Charity.

A Dangerous Roller Coaster

With so many activities to do this summer, there is one that I haven't done yet, and I am really scared to do it. I am talking about the Kingda Ka at Six Flags at Great Adventure. Being the fastest and tallest roller coaster in the world. Reaching the speed from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds! and reaching 45 stories or 456 feet into the sky, having the world record in elevation. The ride is propelled via hydraulic launch horizontally.

I don't want to sound like a coward, but the thought that I don't have control over my body and surroundings freaks me out. A couple of years ago, I was this close to get into this ride, due to my friends putting pressure on me, when we went to do the line, a thunder hit the ride, so they closed it, I admit that I got lucky, because I wasn't feeling it.

Here is a little video of how it feels like to be in the Kingda Ka:

Kingda Ka, The Fastest Roller Coaster In The World In Front Row:



I don't know you, but I will never get into this one, also don't want to discourage anyone on getting into this ride which is cataloged 1 of the 5 most dangerous rides. So, if you get into this one or any other scary ride, share the story with us.

Here is a link with the other 4 most dangerous rides.

Short News: Will Johnny Depp play Michael Jackson?


There has been rumors that Johnny Depp might play as Michael Jackson, but he quickly dismissed this assertion. But at the premier of his latest movie Public Enemies in London, Johnny Depp confirmed that he doesn't wish to play the role of Michael Jackson, saying he doesn't think MJ would want him to play his role in a movie.

Consensual Gay Sex Decriminalized in India

A court in India decriminalized same gender sex, only if is consensual, same gender sex is usually forbidden and can lead up to ten years in prison, this ruling is only effective in New Delhi according the the penal code 377. But if is not consensual it will still be considered a crime.

This shows that India is getting into the new era, considering that this country is very conservative due to it's religion. It is following U.S.A. and other countries steps about gay rights.
Various religious groups in India manifested they oppose to this ruling and any move or law to legalize same sex gender.
Curiously this happens a couple days after the Gay Pride Parade in different cities of United States.

Here I give you a video from the gay parade NYC 2009:

Last photos of Michael Jackson taken!


The latest pictures of Michael Jackson were released, when he was rehearsing for the "This Is It" tour, at the Staples Center on June 23, 2009 in L.A. A night before he died. In my opinion he didn't look that bad in rehearsal.
People who bought tickets for the concert will get a full refund at the Michael Jackson website http://michaeljacksonlive.com/ starting July 1st.

Now, there is a rumor about a picture of Michael Jackson's autopsy around the internet, I haven't seen it, and I don't want to see it. I rather remember him the way he was alive and not like that. Another rumor around is that he could be embalmed. Apparently he signed a contract with Gunther Von Hagens (who is famous for inventing a technique for preserving biological tissue called Plastination, and his exhibit around the world called Body Worlds, where he shows human bodies and human parts using plastination).
This video shows the Body Worlds exhibit using the plastination technique, so you can have an idea of what I am talking about.



So this scientist and artist is thinking about fulfilling his contract and plastinate Jackson's body. Which could be exhibited to the public if this happens. His wish (Jackson) was to be plastinated along his famous pet, a monkey called Bubble. But let's see what happens, because Jackson recently converted to Islam, and according to this religion, the bodies of it's followers have to be buried within 2 days of their death. That's another rumor that only time will bring the truth out.

I was on the blogosphere looking for videos to watch and found this version on Thriller in Indian with Bollywood style. In this video we can see the influence MJ had in other cultures.
Here I leave you with Michael Jackson's Thriller and Thriller Indian version.
