There are so many people that really are practical jokers that seriously love pulling pranks on their friends and family and making the prank videos that many people seem to really love watching. You know, there really is nothing wrong with pulling pranks on people as long as you know where to draw the line between what is a prank and what is being downright mean-spirited.

Video sharing websites like are going to be watching to make sure that its users are not submitting any videos that it considers to be too steamy, too violent, or simply something that goes against what they will accept in terms of video submissions. If you think that a website that is designed to allow users to share videos with the rest of the world would have no problems with things that could potentially be considered too violent or simply unsuitable for everyone to watch without trouble you seriously need to think again about that matter. The same also holds true for those that are submitting a sexy video as has already been talked about before.

There is such a fine line that everyone in this big old world of ours needs to be able to walk so that we do not offend someone else without intending to. This also holds true for those that have the many video sharing websites that allow their user to add their videos to the website. You need to realize that there are so many videos floating around out there that are not exactly what others really like and that could really be considered offensive to everyone that watches them.

You know something, there is such a thing as a funny video that really takes pranking someone or poking fun at/of them to levels that would be considered to be in very poor taste or just downright offensive altogether to everyone. This is something that you will need to be aware of so that you do not fall into this same trap yourself.

It is fine if you want to do things that poke fun at someone you know or at yourself, but you need to remember that even these things can be taken too far or the wrong way by someone who does not know what you or the other person are thinking. This is something else that you will have to take into account when you are thinking of making a video like this and posting it online for the whole world to see.

You next question after reading all this might be how do I make a video that will not offend anyone who sees it or is it even possible to avoid offending anyone and everyone?Please visit http://www.vidbang.com and http://www.frickenfunnyvideos.com

Adventure Boys and Mitsuru Adachi’s Other Mangas

By Dani Brown

 Mitsuru Adachi, a widely known sports (mostly baseball) manga author was born February 9, 1951 in Isezaki, Japan. Debuting in 1970, he became famous after mangas like Touch and Nine. They brought him popularity and recognition throughout Asia. His most works feature senior pupils or college students as lead characters. Since 1970 he has published over 20 mangas including short story collections and multi-volume series.

Manga Nine (released in 1978) is a high school baseball and romance story. It made Adachi a renowned Japanese mangaka and proceeded to 3 TV series. Katsuya and Susumu start playing baseball to impress Yuri, Katsuya’s girlfriend later appearing the coach’s daughter. But Katsuya is also adored by Yukimi… The intrigue is about love relations and the team’s success.

1980 released Adachi’s early big manga Miyuki (12 volumes). Wakamatsu Masato and his step-sister Miyuki are high schoolers in Toukyou living on their own without their father working overseas. Charming Miyuki is a star among guys around Masato while he dates Kajima Miyuki, a dream high school girl. Only after eventful years do the “flatmates” realize their personal preferences. The well-styled manga boasts an interesting plot, nice scene and youth emotions.

The next year saw Adachi’s superhit manga Touch (26 volumes) finished in print in 2005. This shounen story tells about 2 twin brothers, their pretty neighbor and baseball activity.

The manga (1981-1986) belongs to a top author, Mitsuru Adachi. This wonderful writer usually relates his stories to baseball and Koshien, the stadium of the All High School Baseball Tournament.

The Rough manga was released in 1987 now counting up 12 volumes. It’s a romance/sports story seemingly inspired by Romeo and Juliet. 2 young gifted sportsmen, Yamato Keisuke and Ninomiya Ami, come from rival confectionery families. Ninomiya’s grandfather had marketed an owl-shaped cake, but Yamato’s grandfather copied the product adding ears which killed the competitive business. After such a shock Ninomiya died cursing the Yamatos and starting their war.

Manga Nijiiro Togarashi (Rainbow-Colored Chili Powder, 1990) is Adachi’s rare sci-fi manga (11 volumes). Here Shichimi is going to Edo (Tokyo’s pre-capital name). His deceased mother had just left him a walnut and sent him to his half-siblings. Shichimi makes farewell to an old tough firefighter whose cloak emblem is the same with his. On arrival in Edo Shichimi faces a stranger sneering at outer peace and disillusioning people.

The H2 manga was in print 1992 to 2004 becoming Adachi’s biggest work (34 volumes). It developed into a namesake series. Kunimi Hiro had been a baseball talent before learning his arm was crucially damaged. So he transfers to a high school without a baseball team only to find out there his arm had a wrong diagnosis being perfectly OK. Then Hiro arranges a premier baseball team against his ex best friend and teammate, Hideo, in the Koshien.

2000 released a 5-volume manga Always Beautiful Sky (Itsumo Misora) about 6 kids brought together by providence.

The Katsu! manga has been released since 2002. In it Satoyama Katsuki is a carefree and lazy teenager. His secret love, Mizutani Katsuki, has a father who was a pro boxer and inherits this hobby. Satoyama enters a boxing gym just to impress Mizutani but soon discovers genius abilities inside…

The Cross Game manga has reached 17 volumes so far since 2005. It proceeded into an anime series. The hero, Kitamura Koh, has long befriended the Tsukishimas. Their ties are even supported by symbols. But their friendship has to shockingly end some day…

In 2009 Adachi released a short manga, My Sweet Sunday, together with another famous Japanese writer, Rumiko Takahashi. It’s an autobiography describing their careers in the manga business.

2009 also released the Q and A manga currently in 2 volumes. 15-year-old Atsushi Ando’s family returns to their towna after some time. There he encounters fortunes and misfortunes due to pranks by his dead older brother, Hitsushi Ando aka Q-Chan, whose death caused this move. The biggest prank is that only Atsushi can see the ghost.

Mitsuru Adachi is a baseball fan as a viewer and even an owner of a team called Vitamin A. He’s been focusing his manga on this sport for years leaving no doubt about keeping up the trend.

Dani is a huge lover of manga. He suggests visiting the website AnyManga.com to read mangas online.

Movie - Four Christmases

By Mr D Stevens

 This is a lovely holiday season movie, starring the lovely Resse Witherspoon (playing a far different character these days than the affectionate and effervescing young lady in Legally Blonde) as Kate and the hyperactive Vince Vaughn (The Wedding Crashers) as Brad, a couple who would rather spend Christmas vacationing in Fiji than with their families, in fact they make it a ritual during the holidays to go on vacation but to lie to their families that they are involved in a worthy cause (usually charity) that can justify their exclusion during any holiday event.

Over the years their lies about inoculating babies in Burma, or doing some other charity work has always helped them avoid their families for Christmas, but on this particular time as they are waiting at the airport, it turns out all flights have been cancelled because of a bad fog, and a TV crew happens to be interviewing passengers on how they feel about their flights being cancelled during the holiday period, they so happen to come upon Brad and Kate, much to their embarrassment as their phones soon afterwards start ringing; with their respected families saying they have seen them on TV.

Brad and Kate now see they have no choice but to visit all four of their families (Brad’s mum and dad played by the stalwart Robert Duvall The GodFather as Howard and Sissy Spacek JFK as Paula, since they are divorced) and Kate’s families (her mum and dad, played by the dependable Jon Voight Midnight Cowboy as Creighton and Mary Steenburgen In The Electric Mist as Marilyn, who are equally divorced) hence the name Four Christmases.

The first visit is to the home of Brad’s father, it turns out his brothers Denver and Dallas played by Jon Favreau (The Break-Up) and Tim McGraw, are UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) type cage fighters (except there are not professional but only upload their fights on youtube), and no sooner are they re-acquainted does Brad finds himself in some bone crunching wrestling moves, it turns out this is the norm, and that Brad’s real name is Orlando, which Kate didn’t know, she takes him to one side to ask why he didn’t feel comfortable with her after three years of a relationship, to reveal this bit about himself, he says he changed his name because he didn’t like it, and didn’t see a problem. It also turns out that there is a $10 limit to the presents that should be bought for the children, however Brad was unaware of this and bought an Xbox for one of his nephews, while the other nephew has to make do with a torch light, much to the father’s embarrassment.

The visit to Kate’s family also reveals some of her fears, that for some time the kids around the neighbourhood avoided her because they thought she had cooties, calling her “Cootie Kate”, and her passive aggressive older sister Courtney played by the endearing Kristin Chenoweth (RV) reveals these embarrassing secrets.

The visits amongst Brad’s and Kate’s respective families shows that the couple are not as close to each other as they thought, especially during a game where the partner has to guess what card the other half is holding, without giving out the name, and this prompts Kate especially to reconsider if they are true and comfortable with each other to spend the rest of their lives together.

It is a warm festive movie, the whole family will enjoy.
