These are clips from Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe from the discovery channel. It’s essentially a show where the host, Mike Rowe, travels around and learns about dirty jobs by doing them. It’s one of my favorite shows and I would probably watch it more if I could get my hands on more episodes.
I actually think it’s based off/ripped off of an older British series called “Worst Jobs in History with Tony Robinson”, too many similarities to be just coincidence, and I enjoy the British series as well, but there aren’t nearly as many episodes, and the host on the American show is a bit funnier, mainly because he’s a kind of a dick. =)

Still busy, but I need to either take a break or go absolutely insane from nearly a week straight of translating =P Rant about video game translation coming soon =P
Funny Japanese commercial for Ransael, which is a Japanized French/German term for these horrible bright red/black leather backpacks that elementary school kids here use. They are these horrible, hard square boxy things that cost anywhere from $100 to $6000, and are the standard for elementary school kids backpacks here.
The commercial is supposed to be showcasing how easy it is to move in the backpacks, and the woman and child keep saying something along the lines of “a backpack is wings, a backpack is a pair of fairy wings”. The words are funny, but really it’s the movements that crack me up.
