Rock the vote: The word “democracy” comes from two words in ancient Greek. “Demos” meaning “meeting where issues are decided” and “Cracy” meaning “where any nut can show up and run his mouth about nonsense.” These five videos of municipal council and school board meetings collected by Esquire magazine (when did they become a viral video Web site?) illustrate this principle to a weird, uncomfortable, shouting, rambling T. You’ve got rogue helicopter pilots, fake injuries, an old racist black guy, school board fingerprint drug conspiracies and it more or less goes downhill from there at www.esquire.com/the-side/video/local-politicians-video.
Life lessons: VideoJug seems like a harmless enough site. It consists of short how-to videos like how to wash your cat, how to caulk your bathtub, how to cook pancakes, and also how to have anal sex, get your partner to watch porn, hide an unwanted erection, get girls to flash you and how to undo her bra with one hand. NSFW but potentially very useful at www.videojug.com.
