Even bastards become top blokes after death
When people die their faults are quickly airbrushed over. Apparently, this song caused quite a stir when it was first broadcast in Australia. Your guess as to which of the dead celebrity brutalizings would have kicked up the stink.

Korean Freestyle Slalom Rollerblading
Sorta impressive from a street/schoolyard PoV, but despite the authentic sounding name, I don’t see how this could ever make it as an Olympic event. I’m sure that Greeks are already turning over in their graves at the mere provocation. By the way, there's a lot of prelude here -- the action starts when there's about 1:30 left.

Cool optical illusion, though with enough computer use it'll probably happen anyway.

Wash, rinse, repeat
Wince-inducing ad for a bathroom accessory that leaves you thoroughly cleaned. If you sit through the testimonials to about halfway through, you get to see a woman wiping shit off her hand. As Christmas presents go, well, your mileage may vary.
