Yay! Friday Lulz!

Today's Friday lulz commence with a special feature of Rémi Gaillard, a French humorist who gained attention in the media after performing a well-documented series of pranks, including a famous appearance disguised as a Lorient football player in the 2002 Coupe de France final match, during which he took part in the winner's celebrations and was even greeted by the then president of France Jacques Chirac. He is also an amateur football player and has posted videos of his unique skills.

Rémi Gaillard became famous for his videos where he displays an "outrageous" style of humour. His videos are mostly posted on his YouTube channel. In most, Gaillard plays pranks on other people and TV shows.

The majority of Gaillard's sketches are of the hidden camera type, in which the antagonist performs an unexpected or surprising action to elicit humorous responses from the bewildered witnesses. Gaillard often disguises himself for these sketches. His pranks can also be regarded as an act of exhibitionism, especially when posing as a member of a sports team. During some pranks, Gaillard is accompanied by a crowd of friends, giving the action a flashmob-like nature. Some other videos may feature acrobatics like aiming footballs at distant goal-like objects, or more still aim to antagonize police forces he interacts with during his sketches.

Enjoy the watch.

#1: The US finally balanced their budget.

#2: By harnessing the power of witchcraft.

#3: And saving on wages by reducing manpower without reducing firepower.

#4: They sold these cuts through spin; here we see the new "stealth tank". 99% more quiet than an M1 Abrams.

#5: New gender affirmative action movements has seen the role of women significantly increased, whilst men have been reduced to the role of "bridge". This has also helped the bottom line, keeping in with the new lean, mean fighting machine.

#6: The new army has also broadened it's recruitment practices; now targeting 14 year old white kids from the suburbs.

#7: The repeal of DADT has let out into the open what most people already knew...

It’s Official: The Computer’s Smarter

The IBM supercomputer named Watson has beaten two Jeopardy! champions in a three-night marathon. The computer was awarded a $1 million prize, but the BBC reports that “the victory for Watson and IBM was about more than money. It was about ushering in a new era in computing where machines will increasingly be able to learn and understand what humans are really asking them for. Jeopardy is seen as a significant challenge for Watson because of the show’s rapid-fire format and clues that rely on subtle meanings, puns, and riddles; something humans excel at and computers do not.” With his final answer, Ken Jennings, one of the human competitors and the winner of 74 consecutive Jeopardy! shows (a record), wrote, “I for one welcome our new computer overlords.”

And everyone thought the rise of the machines would result in some post apocalyptic wasteland. The truth is out, the robots are coming, and they want to beat us at games.
