Entourage is a U.S. television series that has been running for six seasons now. It’s a gem of a show that airs on the HBO channel, and it’s reason enough to subscribe to the pay TV offering.

This video shows Ari Gold’s best bits from the brilliant first two seasons of Entourage. With writing and acting of this quality it’s no wonder Entourage as one of the Top 10 Television Shows For Men.

Violence is quite widespread in men’s football (soccer), especially as you move further down the leagues to the lower skill levels. But I didn’t think women’s football would be as bad. But it is, and then some.

I’m not some raging vegetarian and I’m not particularly squeamish. However, this video managed to turn my stomach and make me want to inflict violence on the people responsible.

It shows what can only be described as extreme sushi. They’ve kept the fish alive until it’s actually sitting on the plate and being eaten, with what looks like seasoning on the flesh. And it’s clearly suffering.

Today is Mickey Mouse’s birthday. The most famous rodent in history is 81 years old, with his first animated feature, Steamboat Willie, having been released on November 18, 1928.

This video shows the birthday celebrations from last year, when Mickey Mouse turned 80. Proving his universal appeal and worldwide fame, these celebrations took place in India in 2008.

President Obama is currently on a tour of Asia as he seeks to build stronger ties between the United States and the nations in the Pacific Rim.

On Saturday the President was in Japan where he met the Emperor and Empress of Japan. Obama bowed deeply to them as is the custom and protocol for anyone meeting the revered couple.

But that fact hasn’t stopped the right-wing media and pundits laying into the President.

The X Factor is now at the halfway stage of the live finals, and the contestants left are the best in the competition. Well, that’s the idea, but John and Edward have somehow managed to make it to the last six.

This week’s show saw their performance injected with a little bit of talent for the first time. Not because they’d improved overnight but because Calvin Harris decided to invade the stage while wearing a pineapple on his head.

I’m not normally impressed by circus skills such as juggling. In its most basic form, juggling is something everyone with even an ounce of timing and hand-eye coordination can do. And that means it bores me.

However, this video shows someone doing a lot more than juggling in its most basic form. In fact, the skills on display here are incredible enough I watched the whole clip from beginning to end without getting bored.

You may or may not be aware of a rumor that has circulated for decades. It states that one of the munchkins (or at least one of the actors playing a munchkin) in The Wizard Of Oz committed suicide during filming.

The twist is that the suicide by hanging was allegedly caught on film and appeared in the final cut. And this video does indeed appear to show something dark swinging in amongst the trees as Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow walk down the yellow brick road.

Anyone who is lucky enough to own an iPhone (and rich enough as the monthly contracts aren’t exactly cheap) should and probably does make use of the thousands of iPhone apps available from Apple.

This video shows footage of one which turns your iPhone into a revolver. It’s just a bit of fun, of course, allowing you to spin the barrel and pull the trigger. So why not play a bit of Russian Roulette with it?
