What If A Woman Had Been That Expert Interrupted By The Kids On BBC

A scene from a parody of that famous Korean expert BBC
interview with interrupting kids if a woman had been the expert
Here, she defuses a bomb. 

Much  has been made of that expert on Korean politics who was interrupted by his kids while giving a policy interview with the BBC a few weeks back.

The kids came in during the Skype interview and the expert's wife frantically came in and scooted the kids out of the room while the BBC interview continued.

The viral video was funny, in that both the BBC reporter and the Korea expert unflappably continued the interview.

A nearly-as-viral video has surfaced that imagines how things would have worked out had the expert on Korean been a woman and how she would have managed various interruptions.

In the parody, the woman calmly explains the Korean political crisis to a BBC reporter while attending to the kids, cooking a turkey, cleaning a toilet, even defusing a bomb.

I think some busy women, and the men in their lives might relate:

Lots Of Mean, Stubborn People In The News, So We Give You A Boy And A Dog Becoming Friends

I'm still obsessed with the stupidity of Congress in an unhealthy way. I get angry every time I think about how they're not getting what they need to get done because they have to show how "principled" they are, or something.

Much better than Congress: A dog and a little
boy become friends in a wonderful video.  

Since when is it's principled to act like an overtired toddler who is not getting the expensive toy he wants?

Anyway.

I try to distract myself with nicer images. Yesterday, it was those heroes who saved people and showed what the opposite of the U.S. Congress is. 

Today, I'll give you a sweet video that actually came out a year ago, but has gotten a resurgence in popularity on line today. I guess everybody is looking for something positive.

It's a golden retriever in Buenos Aires named Himalaya who is making friends with a little boy with Downs Syndrome. The boy doesn't normally like interactions with other beings, he's incredibly shy, we understand, but even he can't resist the charms of a dog wanting to be a friend.

Neither can I, and I bet you can't either, so here you go:

Two Young Girls Try Singing Adele Song; Succeed Wildly

There is a phenomenon called the Public School 22 Chorus out of New York, consisting of fifth graders who, in the ultimate understatement, can sing so well they totally knock your socks off.

Of course, any graduate worth his or her salt continue on with their talents. Two girls, Kiarah and Denise, who graduated from the chorus in the past year or two, gave Adele's hit "Set Fire To The Rain" a try.

They did so in an acoustically miserable stairwell for the video you are about to see. Despite that, they do about as well as Adele, in my opinion, and Adele is probably the best voice in pop music today.

Since I like to showcase talent, especially since it's coming from youngsters, here's Denise and Kiarah, for your enjoyment.

Seven Year Old Kid Does Rube Goldberg, Enthusiastically

On BoingBoing, I found a video of a seven year old boy named Andri who, well, be careful if he asks you to borrow some household items.

Andri is nothing if not patient. He took a bunch of household items and created an elaborate Rube Goldberg set up, it looks like in his house.

He walks us through the process in the video, and his enthusiasm makes the video. He walks us through his mistakes setting it up, and how he solved them. And when success hits, wow!

I wouldn't have this kid's patience, but hey, maybe he'll be one of the world's top engineers one of these days.

Mom: Dinosaur Toys are Satan!

Not sure if this is a fake thing or not, but I found one of those little on line mom discussion groups, where moms seek and give advice to each other.

Do NOT ask me how I ended up at such a site.

Is this dino toy Satan in disguise?

Found a GREAT query from a mom who is offended somebody gave her kid toy dinosaurs.  The fun time waster is reading the hundreds of responses she got. A lot of them are hilarious.  First, here's what she says about her neighbor and the situation:

She says she is a Christian, but the Bible doesn't say anything about dinosaurs. Should I let him keep them, as long as he understands that dinosaurs aren't real? Even the PBS shows that he watches talk about dinosaurs and evolution, and how the scientists found these "bones" but the Bible doesn't say that God ever created them, and the earth is only 6,000 years old, not old enough to have "bones" that they say are MILLIONS of years old! I know that Satan tries to trick us in many ways, and this is one way that he tries to fool man into believing that there isn't a God who created the universe. How can they be bones when they are made out of ROCKS? I told my son that dinosaurs are one of Satan's many ways of tricking man, and he must talk to God before he plays with them. Am I handling this right? My first 3 were all girls, and I adopted boys, and lots of mothers tell me that boys are often attracted to these dinosaurs. So I don't know what to do. Is this just harmless fantasy play for him, or should I be worried that he may go on to believe in things like evolution?


Do you have any advice for this woman? If so, put them in the comments section of this post.
