I found out about the cheese roll a little whle ago, and have now seen it with my own eyes. See what I saw:

( Cheese Roll 2007, Race #1 (YouTube, 34 seconds) )

( Cheese Roll 2007, Race #2 (YouTube, 39 seconds) )

( Cheese Roll 2007, Race #3 (YouTube, 57 seconds) )

( Cheese Roll 2007, Race #4 (YouTube, 80 seconds) )

Also, for those of you who want to download files of far superior quality:

( Cheese Roll 2007, Race #1 (10.19MB QuickTime Movie) )

( Cheese Roll 2007, Race #2 (13.34MB QuickTime Movie) )

( Cheese Roll 2007, Race #3 (18.66MB QuickTime Movie) )

( Cheese Roll 2007, Race #4 (42.22MB QuickTime Movie) )

We didn’t stay for the last race, and left just after the third so as to avoid the hideous crush of the crowd, but you get an idea of the crazy tumbliness. However, try as I might, I could not get the steepness of the hill to come across on film, except maybe in the last clip.

I read an article by Anil Dash regarding “lolcats” last week, found it interesting, was even quite amused by this Star Trek version…

But when a newspaper, regardless of whatever reputation it may or may not have, captions its photographs in such a manner…

“Brooke Shields: I HAS A ALPHABET?”

Well, that just hurts my head a little bit. If the article itself was about the aforementioned lolcats? At least that would make a certain sense, an example of that being discussed. As it is, there is just head pain.

OMG

WTF
