One thing that is for sure, is the insanely high speed of technological advancement of every-day items we use.

Conference calls… Urgh. There is very little joy in the workplace, let alone conference calls, with disconnects, disruptions and shoddy communication that makes you want to pull your hair out.

Remember that story we posted about the bikers who chased down a Ranger Rover and beat up the driver? We have some new footage that reveals just what happened when the driver got a stuck in traffic.

Bad Lip Reading started small, as a humble YouTube channel that gently poked fun by dubbing over the audio of videos, and saying what it looked like the person in question was saying. But they have now taken on a totally different challenge, trying to string together a movie-length narrative from the first few seasons of Game of Thrones. You absolutely have to see how these guys have totally, utterly and profoundly altered Game of Thrones forever.
Remember YouTube in the good old days? In the beginning, YouTube was a sandbox for the lazy creative. Families would post home-videos, schoolchildren would post clips of teachers being hit with various forms of fruit – and cats stole the limelight in dazzling acrobatic displays.
