Today’s Friday Face-Off is brought to you buy Kayaking Dog, who popped up at Imgur earlier this week and quickly stole the Internet’s heart. He has nothing to do with today’s videos, but he would like to remind you that this is a weekly competition between two random videos that I’ve found while wasting my days and we highly encourage you to help us choose which one is better. Feel free to submit suggestions to BurnsyWL@gmail.com, and if your submission is chosen you will win a With Leather t-shirt that all the ladies are going crazy over.
For this week’s Friday Face-Off, I thought I’d make the choice a little more difficult by playing on two of our favorite things – animals doing awesome stuff and ridiculously unbelievable violence and destruction. You know, raise the bar a bit and make us really have to think about this while we’re ignoring whatever the hell we’re supposed to be doing.
First up, a penguin. But this isn’t just any penguin. This is a penguin that has apparently been trained like a dog and that is awesome. I’m obsessed with penguins because they just seem so cool, like they should be able to talk to us and give advice. This one can fetch a newspaper, and while I can’t remember the last time I picked up a newspaper, I would totally start reading them again if penguins brought them to me.


I was going to vote for the penguin until the guy crashed the stolen truck. It’s hard to find dedication like that these days/
Penguin wins based on the fact I want a newspaper fetching penguin.
oh, the penguin. Now the joke: “What’s black and white and black and white and red all over?… A penguin carrying a newspaper!” makes sense.
So uh…that guy in the store is dead right?
I’m with UU here, voting penguin because I want him.
@B, I might have to dress my 4 year old daughter up as a penguin to go fetch the paper off the porch for me.
I vote for penguin only because the truck video wasn’t narrated in Oriental mumbo jumbo.
BTW, is there any story that goes with that truck vid?
Yeah here’s the story on it
[www.huffingtonpost.com]
A Tennessee man has been charged with attempted murder after he rammed his pickup truck into a convenience store in an attempt to kill a woman, according to police.
Erik Whitaker, 40, allegedly smashed into the Columbia Market in Columbia, Tenn., where 37-year-old Laquisha Dansbury had sought refuge last Friday.
Early reports indicated that Whitaker and Dansbury were dating, but according to News Channel 5, Whitaker started chasing Dansbury when she fled after he attempted to steal her car keys.
Security cameras show Dansbury rushing into the store. Moments later, a pickup truck, purportedly driven by Whitaker, crashes through the shop’s glass doors, knocking down shelves and striking store owner Surendra Patel.
Patel escaped without serious injuries and the truck narrowly missed Dansbury.
But Whitaker’s path of destruction didn’t end there, police say.
The suspect exited the wrecked pickup, checked beneath it to see if he had run down Dansbury, then stole a witness’ vehicle, according to News Channel 5.
Whitaker drove off in onlooker Andrea Kreisel’s SUV, but he didn’t get far, police say. Surveillance cameras show the suspect crashing into a bread truck as he pulls out of the convenience store.
He was hospitalized after the collision, WMCTV reports.
On top of the attempted murder charges, Whitaker is also accused of aggravated assault, theft and reckless endangerment, according to The Daily News.
I vote truck because I can use my imagination on how awesome the crashing sounds must have been.
And those noises sound like South Park’s Michael Bay describing every movie he’s ever made.
Truck guy.
Crashing through the store alone wouldn’t have won it. But stealing another car and driving it right into an oncoming delivery truck. That was the dagger.
^ Danny’s got the right idea. I’m surprised so many people like the stupid penguin video.
Him immediately slamming head on into a big truck made me laugh my ass off. Did not see that coming at all.
Truck vid by a hair. Makes me feel better (a litlle)about how my last relationship eneded.
