Great job by the spotters!

WTF didn't they move the mat...it was clear that she was launching too hot.

Spotters fail all around. That one at the end at least made a little bit of effort, approaching a dive but not really.

True spotting, when people are flipping/falling, in a way where you aren't directly under them the whole time, can be difficult. Coordinating a massive team of spotters, even more so. Doing all that when almost all of them are not showing any degree of "pounce" in them, that "I can be on the move as I'm witnessing it" urgency of motion. You have to have that when risk reaches a certain point (and it is something that can be spotted, of course).

They should have understood from the beginning that going too far was a possible result, and they should have planned for that with a contingency: is it happening? everyone help slide the mat!
And someone should have been standing at the ready just clear of the mat at the end (probably two).

Then again, when you participate in military obstacle and team-based problem-solving courses (and also have helped run them), you think about this kind of spotting a little differently.

That's exactly what the ad is saying. Seems like a logic fail on your part.

that's not what the ad is saying. it's one of those "we've projected unnatural and unobtainable images on women based on the 2% that no one knows" yada yada.

see: it's from plusmodels.org. one of those fatty enabling groups that wants people to embrace the fattiness.

Now, honestly, it is true that the accepted image is ridiculous. and larger women, like Marilyn Monroe--once the sexual icon of all sexual icons--would not be around in today's fashion industry--but it is also true that people are fatter.

Yes, models have indeed become preposterously thinner, but obesity rates have skyrocketed.

True but the age of consent differs in America from state to state doesn't it?

If you are in any way representative of the British people, then it astounds me that somehow they manage to pump out decent humor from time to time.

Honestly, you are incapable of such.

Age of consent

STILL not funny.

I mean, Square's current games all feature CG chicks with pouty facial expressions (...and guys who LOOK like chicks with pouty expressions).

Man! That's soooooo much better!

Besides, we're comparing an in-game sprite to an irritating over-done CG cutscene.

Not only that, but cut-scenes had the potential to look like that on consoles released back in 1995 (PSX), even though CGI wasn't nearly as refined (it would have taken much more effort/skill than was generally available). In a way, it's really 1992 vs. 1995 and only idiots impressed by CGI "graphics" respond the way the creator of that comparison intended. By creating it, the author is making their FAIL known.

He isn't and i think he's constantly trying to be clever but failing miserably every time.

When it comes to humour though, the US is stuck in their "we need to take this UK series and exaggerate it to a point where Americans get it" phase and have been since forever and it's BORING as hell. Will and Grace, Just shoot me, big bang theory, American version of The Office and other UK comedy series.... You really should leave it alone and just pay Brits to do it proper for you because it's embarrassing to watch you fail so hard every single time.

If the US remade Life of Brian it would be the most boring film of all time.

This times a billion.

The yanks are great a heaps of shit, but smart comedy isnt one of em. They get close sometimes, Arrested Dev hits the mark quit often, but is usually more though great acting.

Stick to drama kids.

The Life of Brian comment is spot on. It would never work if Americans made it.

"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" - It just wouldnt work in an American accent. I dunno why, but thats how things are.

You think that post was intended as humour? I guess they are right about what they say about American stupidity.
