Last Wednesday, May 23rd, Isaac proposed to Amy in one of the most creative and romantic ways possible. The proposal seems to have included half of the residents of Portland, Oregon. Set to Bruno Mars' 'Marry You', it's one of the most touching videos I have seen in a long time.
If you're one of the three people in the world that haven't seen this video yet (It already has nearly 6.1 million views), check it out...
"Dancing Jews"?!? Seriously?!? LMAO.

Video: Rick Perry: "Save A Pretzel For The Gas Jets"
Texas governor, and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry has garnered a reputation recently for fumbling during the debates. He is developing a tendency of losing focus as the night goes on, and inevitably, putting his foot in his mouth. Some say he's not ready for the office of Commander in Chief. I think he's "Dubya ver. 2.0".
The clever folks at Bad Lip Reading have compiled a number of clips of Perry speaking on various topics. They have taken out the original audio, and have replaced it with what it looks like he would be saying if you were reading his lips. Sadly, I think some of these quotes could eventually be actual sound bites, if not for Perry's handlers.
Personally, my favorite Bad Lip Reading video is a song with Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and Jay-Z. It's about pizza and broccoli. Quite funny to hear Jay-Z rapping about ten pounds of peanut brittle.

Mashup Monday - 'Don't Stop Believin''
A late entry for the night, but I had to include it.
Norwegian Recycling has released a new mashup, and it's really quite good. While I'm familiar with most of the artists on this track, I'm not keen on most of the songs. The foundation of the tune comes from Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing'. Along the way, you'll find snippits of Britney Spears, Shakira, Robyn and Bruno Mars. The track list is as follows:
1. Journey - Dont Stop Believin'
2. Shakira - Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)
3. Brintey Spears - Till the World Ends
4. Robyn - Dancing On My Own
5. Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are
6. Tim Berg - Seek Bromance
It's quite superb.
Reminds me of a comedy routine I once saw...

Video: Bruno Mars Performs 'Valerie' (Amy Winehouse Tribute)
I have avoided MTV's Video Music Awards for the last few years. Between Bieber, Lil' Wayne and the cast of 'The Jersey Shore', I thought it would be best if I just watched something else. Based upon the clips I've seen this morning, however, I think I may tune in next year.
Bruno Mars did a wonderful rendition of Amy Winehouse's 'Valerie'. I've never thought about it before, but he is perfectly suited to sing her music. It would have been nice to hear the two of them sing a duet.
There were some in the crowd singing right along. You could tell that most had never heard the song before. What a shame. Adele appeared visibly moved by the performance.

Anti-Bullying Flash Mob Becomes Viral Hit
On January 27th, 300 students from David Lloyd George Elementary and Churchill Secondary schools, in Vancouver, British Columbia, came together to spread a message of acceptance. They met at the Oakridge Centre, a local mall in Vancouver, and, with the help of some teachers and a choreographer, put together a performance that has been seen nearly 140,000 times in the last week. Take a look:
Why the pink shirts? In Canada, the last Wednesday in February is Anti-Bullying Day, also known as "Pink Shirt Day". It was started in 2008 in Nova Scotia, after a student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. It was then adopted nationwide the following year.
Remember, bullying can be toward many demographics. There was a lot of media attention recently about gay and lesbian kids that took their lives due to constant bullying for others at school. What you don't hear on the news are the stories of the young men and women that take their lives because they're endlessly ridiculed for being overweight or looking different than everyone else. Bullying is bullying, regardless or the reason why, it's unacceptable.
It wasn't until after seeing this video a couple of times that I realized it, but Bruno Mars' 'Just The Way You Are' is a very affirming body positive/fat positive song that is on the radio currently. He doesn't mention any specifics about his significant other's body or facial features, but reassures her that those things she sees as flaws are, in fact, perfect. It's ironic, though, that the video has him singing the song to a woman that is practically a supermodel. What a good song, but what a bad example to set.
