Exactly what kids in the Third World need to cheer them up; exposure to fisting, 'hilarious' video clips and instant messaging.

I wonder how many Chinese children will be involved in the making and transport of these computers.

Torn here. Voted NC, but then became physically, crushingly depressed while watching the video.
Bringing Africa a fat guy mumbling variations on the eternal "that won't be there" and "this isn't the final" and "we don't know what the experience will be" can't rank that highly on the priority list, can it?
Potable water indeed, Vockins.

This is easily the funniest thing I've ever seen on this site. Or maybe any site. You just made an office of mineral photographers huddle around a computer and laugh hysterically. Thank you.
