Anyone got a link that works in countries with functioning governments?

Hm, that's weird. I'm in Australia. I don't follow politics, but I'm pretty sure our government is functioning.

Does this work for you?

You know what quirk of geoblocking I really love? When a website is perfectly happy to play you thirty seconds of advertising, before buggering right off.

Just watched through all the Jordan Schlansky videos. You should too. He's like Conan's Karl Pilkington.

Jordan Schlansky is my spirit animal.

The best line is at the end. Conan does understand structure.

Are you implying that there are MeFites with functional governments?

Right, maybe "functioning" is too strong of a word. How about "not currently imploding catastrophically?"

And paleyellowwithorange, thank you for that link. It's a funny bit, but not nearly as funny as the other Jordan Schlansky video I was pointed to afterwards.

Heh. "I shave my body." That guy is odd ball. I like him.
