— Ace AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" + "Ghostbusters" = "Thunder Busters."
I like it, but it mainly just makes me want to listen to Thunderstruck.
"Thunderstruck" is now used in 10% of all movie trailers, and it is my belief they need to get this up to 25%.

Say, speaking of mash-ups, how about this mash-up of modern Italy and 15th-century Pakistan? Not as much a feel-good experience as the other, though.
Pakistani woman killed in Italy over arranged marriage
A Pakistani woman has died in Italy after her husband beat her with a brick for opposing the arranged marriage of her daughter, triggering a wave of outrage among Italian politicians on Monday.
The daughter, 20-year-old Nosheen Butt, was admitted to hospital with a cranial traumatism and a broken arm after her 19-year-old brother beat her with a stick in the courtyard of their building in Novi, near the north Italy city of Modena.
According to Modena prosecutors' initial findings, the father Ahmad Khan Butt, a 53-year-old construction worker, threw his wife to the ground and beat her with a brick while the brother Umair attacked his sister.
"The victim did not want her daughter to have an unhappy relationship like the one that had been forced on her," said deputy Modena prosecutor Lucia Musti, who is in charge of the investigation.
"The mother and the daughter were on the same side and this could be called a 'cultural' homicide because in addition to domestic violence there is the issue of the traditions that may have motivated the crime," Ms Musti said.

Re: 13
I hope the new Ghostbusters is better than the second one. GBII took a near perfect comedy and shat all over it.

I've dated women from the Butt family. What they say is true.

And this video mash-up could've used more of the model in a skimpy nightie from the Ghostbusters video.

Tiger Woods hit the lens of a professional photographer's camera with his ball in the Ryder Cup just as the guy was taking a photo.... the photo is actually pretty awesome. Probably the coolest sports photo I've ever seen.

That wasn't bad!

Seems that Tiger is not in his follow through in that shot. How far away is the camera? If it's that close, wouldn't Tiger still be finishing his swing?

Who was the Gillespie who was the RNC chair? He was pretty good.
Mark Racicot was pretty good, too. What happened to him?

Remember the governor from Oklahoma? He disappeared too.
Keating. He pissed off the GWB admin with some of the things he was saying and they more or less told him to fuck off. Can't remember exactly what he said. But before he did, he was the frontrunner to be Bush's AG.
Posted by: Soona at October 04, 2010 01:39 PM (QdCJW)
This happens a lot with pro golfers (and amateur). Your swing is so far off that your right hand comes off the club not long after impact. And being that he hit a photographer, this was obviously a very errant shot.
I tried looking for either a video of this particular shot or even another bad shot of Tiger's where this happens on youtube, but there is nothing to be found. Anyone know where to find video of this shot?

The appalling honor killings outside of Arabia, as if those inside weren't horrible enough, must end. They wouldn't occur with such ease if at least the Muslim women made their personal allies outside of their religious circle.
Btw, the phrase "Muslims as 15th century throwbacks" is nearly a millennium off, far too generous a contrast, since Muhammad's influence began with his 6th century life (b.570, Mecca) and 7th century Muslim conquests (military success being due to a Persian convert, Salman the Persian). By the time Muhammad died in 632, the Arabian Peninsula had already converted as he had successfully united all of the Arabian tribes into a single religious polity, and absolutely butchered any of any tribe or race that defied his mandate to convert.

yeah, the Bush admin tainted a lot of good people.
John Aschroft didn't deserve the shit he got. And I always and still like Don Rumsfeld. Even Gonzales got a bum's rap.

Reminds me of when we sponsored a minor league baseball team, The Storm. Their mascot is Thunder, they played that song at every game. Next to the National Anthem that was one of the best parts of the game!!
Your team must have really sucked.

Ace posted this video a few years ago, a Star Trek/ White Rabbit mashup. Scroll down a bit. It used to be on YouTube, but someone objected to the use of the music.
I still think it's the greatest music video ever made.

AC/DC has earned their phenomenal success based upon two things: an uncanny ability to craft ingenious riffs that are deceptively simple, and an unparalleled pure guitar sound that has not been duplicated.
Both are the work of Malcolm Young. For my money, this is best exemplified by the first 30 seconds of <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCh1ywRoHpQ"> this</A>, played very loud.
Angus is great, but Malcolm is the guts of that band.
