Thriller By Micheal Jackson (Video)

No comments :
Thriller (the album) by Micheal Jackson has sold over 40 million copies worldwide. The video posted is from YouTube. It was directed, over twenty years ago, by John Landis who also directed The Blues Brothers, Coming To America and Animal House.

When it was made in 1985, this video was the bomb. Everybody was talking about it: my friends, my grandma, my daddy, the mailman...everybody. Believe it or not, readers under twenty-five, at one point Micheal Jackson was bigger than American Idol, Barack Obama and the Internet combined.

This video was one of the reasons.

Be on the lookout for a cameo by me as one of the ghouls.

Philadelphia Phillies Fans Riot After World Series Win

1 comment :
The Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Series. You still watch professional baseball don't you? They are the champions, my friends. Which is why in the videos posted, the fans of Phillies decided to tear up their city.

In the videos below, you will see Philadelphia Phillies fans jumping on a moving fire truck, tearing down signs, flipping a car and many fans flipping the bird.

Now, I have to ask, why do we celebrate sports victories this way? Come on! Go out, drink responsibly, do a group prayer and be home in bed by 8:00 P.M. Is that so hard? Hello? Hello? Hello?

Hayden Panettiere Wake Up Call (Video)

No comments :
Hayden Panettiere, star of NBC's Heroes, wants to be a singer. In the video below, she performs her new single "Wake Up Call." Like many television stars before her, Hayden Panettiere thinks she can do it all: sing, act, produce and cook. Alright, maybe she cooks well.

This is Panettiere's official video from Hollywood Records.

How many actors or actresses have may the transition from acting to singing and done it well? Jennifer Lopez? Jennifer Love Hewitt? Brandy? David Hasselhoff?

This is your opportunity to form an opinion of yet another wanna-be singer.

How To Deal With People Who Leave Negative Comments On Your Blog

No comments :
While searching for videos to post here at VlogHog, I come across videos at YouTube, LiveLeak and Metacafe that are extremely popular. Yet, there are some who don't waste the opportunity to make negative comments about the quality of the video. I'm not alking about constructive criticism. I'm talking being nasty just because you can.

Don't make the mistake of engaging some of these people. Now, these nut cases feel empowered and now feel like they have a stake your videos. Don't give the negative commenter power if you have a blog or YouTube video.

Some of you reading this will have popular blogs with millions of pageviews (I hope) and taking in cash from advertising. Inevitably, some of your readers of your blog will comment about how you've changed, you've sold out or once you were an angel now you sleep with the devils. In fact, the only thing that has changed is that you're making money when once you wasn't.

You must deal with this drama. Therefore, here are some steps to lessen the impact of the negative comments.

1. Don't allow comments.
2. Erase the negative comment immediately.
3. Only leave an e-mail address. This will force the loser to take extra steps to contact you plus somebody with constructive criticism or praise or a serious question can contact you. Most losers don't take the extra steps.
4. Turn on your blog's/youtube page comment moderation feature. Once the loser sees that he has to be approved before the comment goes live, he'll leave you alone.
5. Post constructive criticism and leave all garbage comments alone. This will show your viewers/readers that you can take the good with the bad.

So, when you get your world famous blog, you are going to have to deal with world famous losers. It goes with the territory. Good luck and good blogging.

Unhappy YouTuber Named To G4's Hot Women List

No comments :
G4, a cable channel principally devoted to video games, recently released their Women of the Web list on it's program Attack of the Show. This week's list includes Sarah Shahi, Alice Blacker, the Shannon Twins and other hot women I've never heard of. But, also on the list is Natalie of the Community Channel. One of the many channels VlogHog's is subcribed to.

Is Natalie happy about this opportunity for free publicity? Is she thrilled to be listed with Britney Spears? Is she excited about the new viewers she will no doubt get from people who follow Attack of the Show?

Of course not.

ER:The Book Of Abby--Entire Episode (NBC)

3 comments :
ER, the NBC medical drama, is in it's 15th and last season. The first ten years, the show was a top ten hit and one of the most watched programs of the 90's.

In ER's 15 years, many stars have come and gone, such as George Clooney, Juliana Marguiles, Ving Rhames, Gloria Reuben, Kirsten Durst, John Stamos, most of the cast of CSI including Jorja Fox, Marq Helgenberger and George Eads, Omar Epps (who now plays a doctor on Fox's House), Sally Field, Don Cheadle and a gazillion other rich actors.

In the video below, Maura Tierney, who played Dr. Abby Lockhart, current wife of Dr. Luka Kovac and former lover of Dr. John Carter, plays her role for the last time.

This is the entire episode courtesy of Fancast.

Naturally, I post this because ER is one of my favorite shows of all time. I've been watching since the first season in 1994.

Yeah, I'm that old.

Storm Chasers Chased By Tornado

Storm chasers chase storms such as tornadoes and film them to show at staff parties and stuff. I guess. But, in this video, a tornado gets pissed, like one did in the movie Twister, and comes after the storm chasers.

In the video posted by Diagonal View, a storm chaser learns what it feels like to be chased.

You may be were wondering, like I did, if storm chaser is an actual job or it a bunch of thrill seekers with cameras.

Well, it is a job. Here is an article at Popular Mechanics with interviews with several storm chasers.

Tongue Found On Cincinnati Sidewalk

No comments :
So, someone was walking down the street, minding their own business, and BAM there's a severed tongue wagging on the ground. Now, that's a story you can tell the grandkids.

A 13 year-old, according to WLWT- Cincinnati, found the tongue and his agent contacted WLWT. I guess. I don't how these things make the news. Don't get it twisted, I'm glad they do.

Was it a human tongue or an animal tongue? For some reason, it's going to take the Hamilton County Coroner three days to find out. Is he that behind is his work?

Minister Says Cheeto Looks Like Jesus

1 comment :
Cheetos are great. The crunchy kind are my favorites. Like a starved pig, I can eat a whole family size bag of Cheetos in no time flat. (Imagine that, I blogger who can eat a lot of food.) In my lifetime, I may have eaten about a ton of Cheetos. Which explains why I haven't made any Olympic track teams. Still, I don't think I've ever seen any religious figures in any of the hundred of bags I've eaten.

Ah, but I'm not the only man on the Earth. A youth minister claims that a Cheeto he found is the spitting image of Jesus Christ. He calls it... Why spoil the surprise of the video?

David Blaine Takes Two Punches From Kimbo Slice

1 comment :
David Blaine is a lot of things, illusionist, magician and devil. Apparently, Blaine is running out of tricks. Now he is reduced to taking bar bets to get national attention.

Kimbo Slice is a big mean mixed martial arts fighter who also battled in street fights which were available to be viewed on the Internet. Kimbo Slice is suppose to be the toughest mixed martial artists on the block.

In the video below, David Blaine attempts to take two punches in the stomach from Kimbo Slice.

Is that a trick? Can't he make the Statue of Liberty disappear, catch a live bullet, or walk on water or something? 

Blaine is starting to get lame. Although, it is kinda funny seeing him get punched. But he ain't a comedian.

Plus, stick around because he tries to really catch a bullet. Shows me right.

Protesters recently lined up for blocks to protest Katie Holmes at her Broadway debut. Was she that bad in Batman Begins?

Well, it turns out that the protest were against Scientology and Holmes is a Scientologist. Oh.

In the video posted by ITN at YouTube it shows the protesters and apparently it's Halloween in New York.

How does one protest? When do you find time? Who makes the signs?

Protester: Hey, we're all going to protest Katie Holmes down on Broadway. You coming?
Wanna-Be: The porn star?
Protester: No, that's John Holmes.
Wanna-Be: I mean the blond headed girl.
Protester: That's Katie Morgan. I'm talking about Katie Holmes the girl married to Tom Cruise.
Wanna-Be: Then her name would be Katie Cruise. Right?
Protester: Look, she's a Scientologist!!!

Wanna-Be: Batman Begins!

The media, Tina Fey, and Democrats all are having a laugh at vice-presidential Sarah Palin's (R) expense. Like with most politicians, sometimes its warranted, sometimes it's not. Here at VlogHog, there is difference of opinion of who should be laughing at whom.

Vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden (D) has made more gaffes this political season than Obama, McCain and Palin combined.

It doesn't make him a bad person or unelectable (unless you're a Republican) but it is funny as hell.

Jessica Simpson Up Close

No comments :
I'm not a fan of Jessica Simpson. Don't get it twisted, I think she is gorgeous but I'm ain't gonna rush out and buy one of her CDs. Still, I know she has a lot of fans, thus, I made a slide show video of her and posted it on YouTube in 2007.

I use to make several slide show videos, Beyonce, Tyra Banks, Kim Kardashian, Adriana Lima and several others have been the subject of many VlogHog productions.

Why? Promotion of my blog. You can post your blog url onto a YouTube video and maybe someone will visit it.

To my surprise, when I originally posted Jessica Simpson Up Close, it made it to the YouTube front page. Don't ask me why. I really really don't know. The most views I was expecting was about 5000.

That was when I had an account at YouTube under the name VlogHog. Then it got cancelled. Now, I have an account under the name VlogHog1. Very clever, huh? I knew that college degree would pay off.

Before being wiped out at YouTube, Jessica Simpson Up Close got over 700,000 views. That's 700,000 views of the name VlogHog and some promotion of the blog. Yeah, more than likely the viewers were staring at Simpson's breasts but, hey, a blogger can dream.

The song in the video is called "Bumper Music" and is composed by me. Really.

Posted at YouTube by GuinnessWorldRecords, Jimmy Skold of Sweden will try to swallow the most sausages in one minute for your pleasure or his or for a world record or for money, I guess.


Jimmy Skold had a dream. He wanted to swallow the most sausages in one minute. People laughed at him. People mocked him. People thought he was crazy. Skold ignored them and continued to pursue his dream.

He practiced, he endured, and he finally got his opportunity to achieve his goal.

Weatherman Talks About Sex On Broadcast

Live TV is great. Anything can happen. Okay, there is a seven second delay on most broadcasts, still, anything can happen. Local television news go live every night and for the most part there is no delay. So, weathermen can say anything when sometimes they should shut the hell up.





On this broadcast, a weatherman from WCCO, a CBS affliate in Minnesota, talks about his personal life a little too much.

Now, is it weatherman, weatherperson or meteorologist? The staff at VlogHog does not want to offend anyone, unless it results in a huge spike in web traffic and then we'll apologize later.

Fox News Freaks Over Sarah Palin Newsweek Cover

1 comment :
I like Fox News. I like Newsweek. I like Sarah Palin. I'm not voting for her but I respect what she's done in Alaska as Governor. Still, Fox News reports that recently released Sarah Palin cover of Newsweek is unretouched or air brushed. It shows all of her flaws and imperfections of her face and stuff. Really.

In this report, a Republican media consultant is angry that the photo isn't retouched and complains that a Barack Obama (D) Newsweek cover makes him look angelic.


Now, the stock market has dropped over 3000 points in the last month, 401k's are losing double digit values, jobs are being slashed, the American tax payer is being asked to pay 700 billion dollars to bailout Wall Street and someone at Fox News suggests to do a story on a Sarah Palin Newsweek cover and it get the thumbs up?

Palin seems pretty tough to me and whatever the cover shows, I think she can handle it.

Semi-Truck Nearly Hits Police Car

1 comment :
In the movies, cops are usually portrayed as bumbling, fumbling dumbasses. This is because,most of the time, there can only be one hero in a movie. If the cops, military or boy scouts were competent, there would be no need for Bruce Willis, Christian Bale or Denzel Washington.

But, in real life, most cops are pretty smart. Not that they're dealing with a lot of Bill Gates' out there. Still, the officer in this video had to think quick or he would be dead now.

Now, I don't think she is best known for being a reality tv star unless the reality show she was talking about was the sex tape she made.

Also, Kardashian mentions that for some reason she is unbalanced. For some reason? Hmmmmm. I wonder what could be throwing her balance? For the life of me, I can't figure it out?

If you don't know them, well, can you name the last ten losing vice-presidential nominees? Hey, don't Google it. That's cheating!

Despite all the attention and criticism of Sarah Palin (R) some warranted and most not, Joe Biden(D) is the one making the most gaffes on the campaign trail. IVHO. (In VlogHog's Humble Opinion)
