Earthquake Etch-a-Sketch, A Bear Driving and freedom! Testify Music Video

Today mix of funny pictures and videos could not be more random. First off is a funny sketch. Who else loved Etch-a-Sketch? I personally still have a Etch-a-Sketch Pen. makes writing so much more fun when you are writing ON a pen! And drawing rude pics in on a tiny screen. Awesome. But dont shake that. I presume thats what this Etch-A-Sketch gallery was like pre earthquake.



This next picture begs the question. WTF! Nevermind why, what about how the hell has a bear gotten inside a car, and then Why would you take a photo of a bear in a car? You would run away if you had any sense! Is it true that bears cannot climb trees btw? I've never seen a bear in the wild and dont live in a country that has them, but if I was in Alaska or Canada what am I supposed to do if I see a bear? From this, I say open my car door.

The final picture I got from Statements of Intent. Its not by them, but a great picture. You should look at this every morning and it would make you smile as someone on reddit said. Click the photo for the full version to read. Statements of Intent is a great new site which features great videos designed to give inspiration. This picture is in that vein.



The video of the day is something a bit different. Its the classic music video Testify by Rage against the Machine. I've been listening to Rage all day after not hearing them for so long. Its amazing how relevant their songs are now after so many years! You probably haven't seen this video for ages, its well worth a watch!


Lyrics are below. Enjoy and LISTEN!



The movie ran through me
The glamour subdued me
The tabloid untied me
I'm empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless boys
Who travel now in coffins
On the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Yes testify
Its right outside your door

With precision you feed me
My witness I'm hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Yeah testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door
