Refrain:
We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
Wenn getanzt wird, will ich führen,
auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht,
lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren,
Ich zeige euch wie's richtig geht.
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen,
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus,
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.
We're all living in America...
Ich kenne Schritte, die sehr nützen,
und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen,
und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss,
weiß noch nicht, dass er tanzen muss!
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
ich werde Euch die Richtung zeigen,
nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus,
und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.

We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,

We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
This is not a love song,
this is not a love song.

Camel Jockey
a person of Middle-Eastern descent.[27]
Canuck
(U.S. & CAN) a Canadian national. (Rarely offensive, and considered by Canadians to be obsolete and silly -- compare "Yankee") The Vancouver NHL team is even called the "Vancouver Canucks". When pronounced Can-OOK it is somewhat more derisive, although in a comical sense.
CBCD
(Subcontinentals in Canada) - Canadian-Born Confused Desi - Similar to ABCD, but used for Canadian-born South Asians who are confused about their cultural identity. [28][29]
Charlie
(U.S.) a Vietnamese person (shortened from radio code for the Vietcong (V.C.): "Victor Charlie"[30]); term also used by African Americans (mainly in the 1960s and 1970s) to refer to a white person (from James Baldwin's novel Blues For Mr. Charlie.
Chechaco (cheechako)
Derogatory term used in the Pacific Northwest (especially Alaska and Canada) for newcomers. Originally from Chinook trader dialect, literally "newcomer." Alternately translated as "Outsider," "Southerner," or "person

The 21st or 22 it will pass blue ball. I seriously think this is unfair, blue ball I checked links found on google and is 20,500, the sites it's been linked on I've never heard before, yet I've heard a lot of links that the telemarketer has been found on, I seriously think this is a dumb ytmnd, sure there are other dumb ones, but the very first ytmnd I ever had seen was blue ball, and I'm sure for a lot of people it may be the same, this isn't a ytmnd made for laughs as much as it is for views.
sure blue ball has had hate in it's comments but not to the extremities as telemarketer has, blue ball, in my opnion is a very symbolic gesture to ytmnd, many ytmnders, and most of them that belong to ytmnd and dont just create an account because they like this, feel that this shouldn't pass blue ball and I feel the same way, the links found on google were posted for blue ball much slower than that of HTPATM. 20,500 in about a years time and this at 40,500 in about 2 months. Does that seem fair to you?
haha, this is great. I've never seen a bigger collection of retards than the guys downvoting a pointless flash animation on a pointless website. The fact that so many people would waste their time on this instead of doing something even mildly entertaining like play World of Warcraft, shows how screwed up internet kiddies are nowadays. 5'd to piss em all off....
ok originally I fived this but this is ridiculous how many votes this is getting; already 9,000? At 8am in the morning? Are you f*cking kidding me? THIS long after its been made? I don't think so. gtfo
it was pretty good the first time I heard it, but still it wasn't amazing. It's no blue ball factory thats for sure :3

in English language versions of the franchise, it used to be “Gotta catch ’em all!”, although it is now no longer officially used except in the spin-off series Pokémon Chronicles.
The concept of the Pokémon saga stems from the hobby of insect collecting, a popular pastime which Pokémon's creator Satoshi Tajiri had enjoyed as a child. Tajiri’s formula took off in Japan and was adapted (and translated) in 1998 for the American market, with the release of Pokémon Red and Blue. These games allowed players to
Beauty and the Beach" is banned worldwide outside of Asia, that is, in all countries that receive the series from 4Kids Entertainment. It is the 18th episode of the original Japanese series, titled "Holiday at Apaculo". On June 24, 2000, a newly produced English-language version of the episode aired on Kids' WB! as "Beauty and the Beach". Promoted as a "lost episode" special presentation, it has only received one rerun and has not yet been shown elsewhere or released on DVD or VHS.
In this episode, the female characters all enter a beauty contest. Team Rocket also enters, with James donning an inflatable suit with huge, exaggerated breasts. As one scene of the episode was about James showing off his artificial cleavage for humorous effect, this scene was removed from the English-language version when it finally aired.
The episode's title is a play off of the 1991 Disney film Beauty and the Beast.

Tentacruel around some destroyed buildings."Tentacool & Tentacruel" h
Electric Soldier Porygon" (ã§ã‚“ã®ã†ã›ã‚“ã—ãƒãƒªã‚´ãƒ³, DennÅ Senshi Porigon?) was aired in Japan on December 16, 1997, around 18:30 Japanese time (09:30 UTC), and became infamous for causing a number of epileptic seizures in young viewers. It is now banned worldwide, including Japan.
About 20 minutes into the episode "DennÅ Senshi Porygon", there was a scene in which Pikachu stops some rockets with his lightning attack, resulting in a huge explosion that flashed red and blue lights. Although there were similar parts in the episode with red and blue flashes, this scene was extremely intense, with blinks at a rate of about 12 Hz for approximately 4 seconds in almost full screen, and then for 2 seconds outright fullscreen. At this point, viewers started to complain of blurred vision, headaches, dizziness and nausea, actual cases of the motif of harmful sensation. A few people even had seizures, blindness, convulsions and lost consciousnes
Jynx's thirteen second appearance in "All Things Bright and Beautifly" was also removed in the English series. The Jynx Erika owns in "Mean With Envy" and "Pacifidlog Jam" marks the first appearance of Jynx in purple. Jynx can still be seen in its old color, in some Pikachu's Jukebox songs & in Pokemon Stadium. The scenes are taken from Holiday Hi-Jynx. However, Jynx can still be seen in her original black color in the episode "Princess Vs. Princess" as a Pokémon Doll and "The Mandarin Island Miss-match", who Prima of the Elite Four owns one.
[edit] The Ice Cave!
"The Ice Cave!", which would have been part of Pokémon: Master Quest, was skipped over by 4Kids Entertainment and hence never shown outside of Asia. It was the first widespread ban of a Pokémon episode in four years. This episode, much like Holiday Hi-Jynx (although that episode was only removed from rotation in one country) was also banned because of the appearance of controversial character Jynx. When the episode was first skipped over, it
Hi-Jynx", an episode which was already "out of order" due to being pushed back after the show's hiatus following the "seizure incident" (above), aired on North American television several times but is no longer part of the rotation in that region. When "Holiday Hi-Jynx" aired on Kids WB it was usually around Christmas time along with "Snow Way Out".
The episode garnered controversy because of Jynx's original appearance. Her dark skin, exaggerated lips, and light hair, more than likely inspired by Yama-uba, are strikingly similar to performers in blackface, and the racially-charged image drew a great deal of criticism. This criticism became very public after Carole Boston Weatherford published an article in Black World Today about Jynx's appearance.[2] Since the incident, Jynx has been modified to have purple skin, but even in other episodes before the change took effect any appearances have often been cut out of the show.[citation needed] The episode continues to air elsewhere around the world and is also

we laugh has been the subject of serious academic study, examples being:
Henri Bergson, in his book Le rire (Laughter, 1901), suggests that laughter evolved to make social life possible for human beings.
Sigmund Freud's "Jokes and Their Relationship to the Unconscious".
Arthur Koestler, in The Act of Creation (1964), analyzes humor and compares it to other creative activities, such as literature and science.
Marvin Minsky in Society of Mind (1986).
Marvin Minsky suggests that laughter has a specific function related to the human brain. In his opinion jokes and laughter are mechanisms for the brain to learn nonsense. For that reason, he argues, jokes are usually not as funny when you hear them repeatedly.
Edward de Bono in "The Mechanism of the Mind" (1969) and "I am Right, You are Wrong" (1990).
Edward de Bono suggests that the mind is a pattern matching machine, and that it works by recognizing stories and behavior and putting them into familiar patterns. When a familiar connection is disrupte
Sennett occasionally experimented with color and was the first to get a talkie short subject on the market in 1928. In 1932 he was nominated for the Academy Award for Live Action Short Film in the comedy division for producing The Loud Mouth and won in the novelty division for Wrestling Swordfish. Less successful films such as Hypnotized (with blackface comedians Mack and Moran) were produced in the early 1930s near the end of his career, when he sold his catalog of films to Warner Brothers. As moviegoers' tastes changed, Warner used these for occasional stock footage but eventually destroyed them to save storage space. As a result many Sennett films, especially those from his most productive and creative period, no longer exist.
Due to heavy losses in the 1929 stock market crash, distribution problems, changes in public taste and the advent of sound films, Sennett was forced into bankruptcy in November 1933. He went into semi-retirement two years later at the age of 55, having produced more than a thousan
When a technically-good joke is referred changing it with paraphrasing, it is not laughable anymore; this is because the paraphrase, changing some term or moving it within the sentence, breaks the joke mechanism (its vividness, brevity and rhythm), and its power and effectiveness are lost. Douglas Adams described sentences where the joke word is the final word as "comically weighted." This saves the "payoff" until the last possible moment, allowing the expectation for surprise to reach its highest point, while the mind is more firmly rooted in the pattern established by the rest of the sentence. [citation needed]
[edit] Why do we laugh (model of appreciation)
No satisfactory theory of laughter that explains why humans laugh has yet gained wide acceptance.
Some of the prominent explanations (that is a humor appreciation model) comes from part of the ideas contained in the psychology essay Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, by Sigmund Freud (1905) [4].
According to Freud's operational desc
[edit] Styles
The question / answer joke, sometimes posed as a common riddle, has a supposedly straight question and an answer which is twisted for humorous effect; puns are often employed. Of this type are knock-knock joke, lightbulb joke, the many variations on "why did the chicken cross the road?", and the class of "What's the difference between..." joke, where the punch line is often a pun or a spoonerism linking two apparently entirely unconnected concepts.
Some jokes require a double act, where one respondent (usually the straight man) can be relied on to give the correct response to the person telling the joke. This is more common in performance than informal joke-telling.
A shaggy dog story is an extremely long and involved joke with a weak or completely nonexistent punchline. The humor lies in building up the audience's anticipation and then letting them down completely. The longer the story can continue without the audience realising it is a joke, and not a serious anecdote, the more successf

headache (medically known as cephalalgia, sometimes spelled as cephalgia) is a condition of pain in the head; sometimes neck or upper back pain may also be interpreted as a headache. It ranks amongst the most common local pain complaints.
Headaches have a wide variety of causes, ranging from eye strain, sinusitis and tension to life-threatening conditions such as encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral aneurysms and brain tumors (although up to 99% of headaches have a benign cause and do not warrant further
The brain itself is not sensitive to pain, because it lacks pain-sensitive nerve fibers. Several areas of the head can hurt, including a network of nerves which extends over the scalp and certain nerves in the face, mouth, and throat. The meninges and the blood vessels do have pain perception. Headache often results from traction to or irritation of the meninges and blood vessels. The muscles of the head may similarly be sensitive to pain.
[edit] Types
There are five types of headache: vascular, myogenic (muscle tension), cervicogenic, traction, and inflammatory.
Vascular
The most common type of vascular headache is migraine. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head, an upset stomach, and, at times, disturbed vision. It is more common in women. After migraine, the most common type of vascular headache is the "toxic" headache produced by fever.
Other kinds of vascular headaches include cluster headaches, which cause repeated episodes of intense p
While statistically headaches are most likely to be harmless and self-limiting, some specific headache syndromes may demand specific treatment or may be warning signals of more serious disorders. Some headache subtypes are characterized by a specific pattern of symptoms, and no further testing may be necessary, while others may prompt further diagnostic tests.
Headache associated with specific symptoms may warrant urgent medical attention, particularly sudden, severe headache or sudden headache associated with a stiff neck; headaches associated with fever, convulsions, or accompanied by confusion or loss of consciousness; headaches following a blow to the head, or associated with pain in the eye or ear; persistent headache in a person with no previous history of headaches; and recurring headache in children.
The most important step in diagnosing a headache is for the physician to take a careful history and to examine the patient. In the majority of cases the diagnosis will be tension headache or migrain
Migraine's secondary characteristics are inconsistent. Triggers precipitating a particular episode of migraine vary widely. The simplest treatment, applying warm/hot water or cold water soaked cloths to the affected area of head, is contradictory — hot or cold can either increase or decrease pain, though it is consistent in the same patient.[2] A particular migraine rescue drug may sometimes work and sometimes not work in the same patient. Some migraine types don't have pain or don't occur in the head.
Available evidence suggests that migraine pain is one symptom of several to many disorders of the serotonergic control system, a dual hormone-neurotransmitter with numerous types of receptors. Two disorders, classic migraine with aura (MA, STG) common migraine without aura (MO, STG), are currently proved to be genetic.[3] Additional migraine types are suspected and could be proved to be genetic. Migraine understood as several or many disorders could explain the inconsistencies, especially if a single patient
For the 20-30%[4][5] of migraineurs who suffer migraine with aura, the migraine aura is comprised of focal neurological phenomena that precedes or accompany the attack. They appear gradually over 5 to 20 minutes and generally last less than 60 minutes. The headache phase of the migraine attack usually begins within 60 minutes of the end of the aura phase, but it is sometimes delayed up to several hours, and it can be missing entirely. Symptoms of migraine aura can be visual, sensory, or motor in nature.[6]
Visual aura is the most common of the neurological events. There is a disturbance of vision consisting usually of unformed flashes of white or rarely of multicolored lights (photopsia) or formations of dazzling zigzag lines (arranged like the battlements of a castle, hence the term fortification spectra or teichopsia). Some patients complain of blurred or shimmering or cloudy vision, as though they were looking through thick or smoked glass, or, in some cases, tunnel vision. The somatosensory aura of
[edit] Pain phase
The typical migraine headache is unilateral, throbbing, moderate to severe and can be aggravated by physical activity. Not all of these features are necessary. The pain may be bilateral at the onset or start on one side and become generalized, usually alternates sides from one attack to the next. The onset is usually gradual. The pain peaks and then subsides, and usually lasts between 4 and 72 hours in adults and 1 to 48 hours in children. The frequency of attacks is extremely variable, from a few in a lifetime to several times a week, and the average migraineur experiences from one to three headaches a month. The head pain varies greatly in intensity. The pain of migraine is invariably accompanied by other features. Anorexia is common, and nausea occurs in almost 90 percent of patients, while vomiting occurs in about one third of patients. Many patients experience sensory hyperexcitability manifested by photophobia, phonophobia, osmophobia and seek a dark and quiet room. Blurred vision, na
might result and that the occurrence of migraines might end if the hole were blocked. Several clinical trials are currently under way in an effort to determine if a causal link between PFO and migraine can be found. Early speculation as to this relationship has centered on the idea that the lungs detoxify blood as it passes through. The PFO allows blood to go directly from the right side of the heart to the left without passing through the lungs.

[edit] Migraine without aura
This is the most commonly seen form of migraine; patients who primarily suffer from migraine without aura may also have attacks of migraine with aura. According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders[8] it is a recurrent headache disorder manifesting in attacks lasting 4-72 hours. Typical characteristics of the headache are unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate or severe intensity, aggravation by routine physical activity and asso
In 2005, authors who reviewed the medical literature[33] found that the available information about dietary trigger factors relies mostly on the subjective assessments of patients. Some suspected dietary trigger factors appear to genuinely promote or precipitate migraine episodes, but many other suspected dietary triggers have never been demonstrated to trigger migraines. The review authors found that alcohol, caffeine withdrawal, and missing meals are the most important dietary migraine precipitants. The authors say dehydration deserves more attention, and that some patients are sensitive to red wine. The authors found little or no demonstrated evidence that notorious suspected triggers chocolate, cheese, or that histamine, tyramine, nitrates, or nitrites normally present in foods trigger headaches. The artificial sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet®) has not been shown to trigger headache, but in a large and definitive study monosodium glutamate (MSG) in large doses (2.5 grams) was associated with adverse sympt
Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse regardless of the capability of ejaculation. There are various underlying causes, such as diabetes, many of which are medically reversible.
The causes of erectile dysfunction may be physiological or psychological. Psychological impotence can often be helped by almost anything that the patient believes in; there is a very strong p

Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse regardless of the capability of ejaculation. Ther
Penile erection is managed by two different mechanisms. The first one is the reflex erection, which is achieved by directly touching the penile shaft. The second is the psychogenic erection, which is achieved by erotic stimuli. The former uses the peripheral nerves and the lower parts of the spinal cord, whereas the latter uses the limbic system of the brain. In both conditions an intact neural system is required for a successful and complete erection. Stimulation of penile shaft by the nervous system leads to the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), which causes the relaxation of smooth muscles of corpora cavernosa (the main erectile tissue of penis), and subsequently penile erection. Additionally, adequate levels of testosterone (produced by the testes) and an intact pituitary gland are required for the development of a healthy male erectile system. As can be understood from the mechanisms of a normal erection, impotence may develop due to hormonal deficiency, disorders of the neural system, lack of adequate pen
reatment depends on the cause. Testosterone supplements may be used for cases due to hormonal deficiency. However, the cause is more usually lack of adequate penile blood supply as a result of damage to inner walls of blood vessels. This damage is more frequent in older men, and often associated with disease, in particular diabetes.
Treatments (with the exception of testosterone supplementation, where effective) work on a temporary basis: they enable an erection to be attained and maintained long enough for intercourse, but do not permanently improve the underlying condition.
ED can in many cases be treated by drugs taken orally, injected, or as penile suppositories. These drugs increase the efficacy of NO, which dilates the blood vessels of corpora cavernosa. When oral drugs or suppositories fail, injections (e.g. of apomorphine) into the erectile tissue of the penile shaft may work.
When pharmacological methods fail, a purpose-designed external vacuum pump can be used to attain erection, with a sep
Vacuum pump
An external vacuum pump will produce an engorged penis with success approaching 90%; a penis ring will maintain this state, although it should be removed after not more than 30 minutes. The erection is not as rigid or hard as a natural erection; drugs or injections, when they work, may be preferable. Various studies show the degree of satisfaction of users and their partners to be vary variable, even when drugs and injections do not work; in one study, about 20% of men who tried a (high-priced) pump decided to proceed to purchase one. Other studies show higher percentages of satisfied users.
In some cases frequent use of a vacuum pump can eventually improve the degree of erection attainable without use of the pump. Claims of cheap "penis pumps" to permanently increase maximum penis size should be viewed with caution, however.
Some vacuum pumps, such as Osbon ErecAid, are sold at a higher price with 100% refund within 90 days to dissatisfied users, with a somewhat lower price with 50% refund
Ginseng
A double-blind study appears to show evidence that ginseng is better than placebo:[1] see the ginseng article for more details.
Enzyte
Enzyte is a product that has been advertised by saturation coverage on television channels such as CourtTV. However, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about Enzyte for deceptive advertising. It is manufactured by Berkeley Nutritionals, which is alleged to be the subject of an investigation by the Attorney General of Ohio and the defendant in class-action lawsuits.
Enzyte is a supplement that claims to increase the male libido or frequency of erections of the penis. Commercials for Enzyte are shown regularly on television. These commercials feature a man named Bob who never stops smiling, apparently because he had taken Enzyte and improved the size of his sex organs. The commercials are riddled with symbolic phallic imagery, e.g. golf clubs, remarkably tall glasses of iced tea, and

WILMAR, MN- In what has been called an 'idiotic' and 'senseless' move, 6-year-old Wilmar resident Hayden Morrison has drowned in a pond. Morrison's mother, Sandy Tucker, in an emotional press conference this morning, described exactly what happened leading up to Morrison's ridiculously stupid death.
"We went for a walk in the park, like we do every Saturday," described Tucker, "we were feeding the ducks at the pond, when my friend from work, Corinne, walks by, so she stops to talk. Suddenly, we heard a splash, and there was Hayden, floating face down in the middle of the pond."
Tucker and her friend rushed to save Morrison, but by the time they had fished him out with big sticks, he had died.
"How retarded is this kid?," inquired Wilmar Sheriff Lou Asche at this morning's press conference, "I mean, how did the kid go from being alive and well to floating face down in a duck pond?- The pond was only four inches deep! How the hell did he drown in four inches of water?"
A report released today sh
shows that this kind of death is not uncommon. An accident in Redmond, WA, last month, resulted in some stupid kid drowning in a puddle, two inches deep. Another incident in Beaumont, TX, saw a 10-year-old boy drown while showering.
"He picked a hell of a time to die," said the father of Morrison, Tony Morrison, "it's almost Christmas. I had got his presents already. Now I have to go back and return them. Some I bought months ago, so I'm over the 30-day return limit. Do I look like I want store credit?"
I don't hate this because of Blue Ball. It's somewhat funny, but honestly, I really think the whole thing was staged and that lessens my enjoyment greatly of it. The prank was not handled with subtlety or tact and that means the guy was either entirely brain damaged to the extreme or in on it. I'll give it a 3.
That said this is bringing a lot of people to YTMND which is good for everyone. So STFU about it replacing the top slots.
