Inside The Teenage Brain [Video]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Movies, Viral Videos

Not too long ago I shared another special called “The Merchants of Cool” which basically showed you how it’s COMPANIES, and not other teens, that make trends and fads happen. Well, here’s another special by Frontline also which explains why teenagers are the way they are- sleeping, boredom, our sex drives, mood swings. Basically anything you can shake a dick at. A lot of shit is explained in this video which reveals that teens are SUPPOSED to be tired and lazy and wanting sex all the time- it’s just the way we’re wired.

On a side note, me and my sis tried showing this to our parents to see their reaction. Needless to say, they got off our backs for about a couple of days…but then it returned to normal. Old people….they just never learn do they?

Louis CK - Everything’s Amazing, Nobody’s Happy [Video]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Viral Videos

Louis CK is one of my favorite comedians for a reason- he may be balding, have kids, and not be in school, but for some reason I can really relate to everything he says. Here’s a clip that every spoiled suburban kid needs to see (or more like understand). I’ll even admit it- sometimes I don’t appreciate how convenient it is to get entertained or look up information. Work that took HOURS to do in the 90’s takes SECONDS today. THINK ABOUT THAT SHIT!

I was a 90’s baby, so I remember when downloading a (1) song took 10 minutes on dial up! And movies….well, let’s just say this site wouldn’t have been possible 10 years ago. I hate to admit it, but most people my age just don’t appreciate how fucking good the world really is today. The internet/technology has DRASTICALLY made just about everything easier. But for some reason people are still unhappy.

Dammit! Sometimes I’m ashamed of my generation. If you’re still reading this just know I’m not talking about you….I think.

“I Know You” by Henry Rollins [Video]

This is a spoken word piece and it really really hit me hard. Throughout most of it, I was thinking “That’s me” Some of the stuff he says, the not fitting in, playing a role to make it seem like that, make yourself believe this image you portray, how unhappy you really know. I just heard this at the right time. Because it sounded and felt like I had just sat down one day and scrawled it out on paper.

Peter Jenning’s Ecstasy Rising [Video]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Viral Videos

I don’t know about you, but I was tricked in school into thinking that Ecstasy (aka X, Ex, or Extacy) put holes in your brain. They showed me that picture of the brain with holes in it and I was like “Ok, fuck no…not doing that shit ever.”

But, of course, like most of the shit they “teach” you at school, I came to find out that it wasn’t true. IT’S A FUCKING SCARE TACTIC. This is a great special on ecstasy and how it came about. It’s pretty short and covers just about everything you need to know. Check it out and, if you’re like me, you’ll want to get your hands on some Ex.

Black Dolls = Bad Dolls [Video]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Viral Videos

It’s a well known fact that the media (TV, magazines etc) have a big influence on children. Here’s a pretty sad video where kids are asked “Which doll is the nice doll?” when presented a black one and a white one.

Why do they mostly choose the white one? Well, obviously because these kids are racist lol- not really, but the media has perpetuated this message. Every kids show/commercial I grew up watching was mostly made for a white audience and, sadly, this hasn’t changed for the most part even for older shows. CSI, One Tree Hill, Law and Order, Supernatural…I can go on forever. Most TV shows are mostly white. I fucking hate it.

Here’s another question for you to ponder, why is black always associated with evil and white with good?

Are You Gullible? / The Reason Why I’m Atheist [Video/Rant]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Rants, Viral Videos

This is it. This is the video that made me 99% atheist (I say 99% because the other 1% was my philosophy class). I, like so many other people that clicked on the video did it for two reasons: 1) the girl is hot, and 2) I thought to myself “Gullible isn’t in the dictionary? WTF??!! I gotta click this shit!”

Before you read my rant below I’d like to point out that I was not atheist when I started this blog (2 years ago). In fact, my whole entire high school life I was a “good Muslim boy” (as my parents used to say) that prayed 3 times a day. LOL.

Marilyn Manson Interview After Columbine & Ozzfest Fans [Videos]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Viral Videos

If you didn’t know, Marilyn Manson was one of the “reasons” that the media used to explain why the Columbine kids shot up their school. It was a stupid one, of course, and what’s even more stupid is the fact that the kids who shot up the school WEREN’T EVEN FANS OF HIM. For 2 years he declined every interview except this one from Michael Moore.

This is actually a clip taken from the movie Bowling For Columbine so watch that if you want to see more on the subject of Columbine. Every time I show this video to someone they always seem so surprised. “Marilyn Manson is intelligent?” Oh, yeah bitches..Manson ROCKS!

The Merchants Of Cool (PBS Special) [Video]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Viral Videos

I know what you’re thinking…PBS Special? Charlie? Seriously? Well, it isn’t your typical special. It basically breaks down how large companies like MTV actually STUDY teens to find out what they like then base off all their programs and products off the research. Have you ever wondered WHY you like certain kinds of clothes or music? Have you ever stopped to think about WHY you think something is “sexy”? HINT: YOU AREN’T AS UNIQUE AS YOU THINK.

After I watched this for the first time I felt so fucking USED! These companies KNOW that teens are vulnerable about trying to fit in and they use that to make money. Sure, this special is a little dated, but it’s STILL relevant today.

High School Band Geek Looks Bored On TV [Video]

LOL, this girl really needs to quit band before she dies of excitement. I used to be in band in middle school but then I smartened up and realized that playing/practicing other people’s music for hours every week wasn’t something I wanted to do anymore.

PART 1:

Since I’m still in a Nirvana mood right now I thought I’d share their episode of Classic Albums. It goes into detail about the stories behind each one of the songs on their classic CD Nevermind- which STILL happens to be my favorite album of all time. You can also download the dvdrip version of it from rapidshare below and it’s much better quality and includes extras.
