More like TruTV is conducting a never ending editing session and has an unlimitled supply of material.

The Whelk beat me to it: there are a few NSFW moments in here, amid the joyous bicycle crashes, dancing, and general mayhem.

I was coming in here to say the exact same thing about India. Also, I may not be American, since I could take 2 full minutes of twitch-edited car crashes and people abusing fireworks.

couldN'T I may also have a brain disorder, since I so frequently add/remove "n't" from words. What's my deal?

Maybe I didn't look in the right place, but I wish that compilations like this would include links to the source videos. Are citations too much to ask for?

The only "good" I picked out in the USA clip was a slam dunk, and a moment of peaceful patriotism. I guess there's nothing wrong with mud wrestling either.

I wonder how much of these are accurately placed. In their India video, around their 30sec mark, is someone making teh tarik (tea being pulled from one mug to another) - a Malaysian or Singaporean thing.
