Asians in the Library - UCLA Girl going wild on Asians

Just found this video where a girl talked about how she doesn't understand many things about Asians at UCLA and she thinks they need to be more American. Here's her video.

She didn't realize that her comments lead to many people calling her racist. The public response to her video was enough to get an apology from her so I don't really have to say much about how I feel of her comments. Here are couple of videos that made a spoof of her comments. Kinda funny.

Epic Meal Time!!! Canadian Cooking

I've been watching Epic Meal Time for some time. Their ridiculous meals where any type of food can be substitute with bacon. There are a whole lot of calories. Just watching it can give me a heart attack. Their videos just started to pop up 4 months ago on YouTube and their videos been getting more than a million views. Here's a few of my favorite meals.

Massive Meat Log - Watching a girl eating a giant meat log. Priceless.

Fast Food Sushi - They convert everything that is fast food into a bunch of sushi rolls. So how they put bacon into the sushi meal? They replace seaweed with bacon of course.

Chili Four Loko - One of the craziest meal. They made a giant bowl of chili and made a bacon cup filled with Four Loko. with the alcohol, caffeine, spicy chili, and bacon fat, that's one crazy meal.

Here's the latest one where they met the BarelyPolitical crew in New York City for an Epic SuperBowl Meal.

Base on this interview that they did right after the Four Loko Chili, they have enough recipes that can be filmed for 2 years. Someone's gonna die wile making these videos.
