Simon Tonekham’s Blog

Well guys, It’s Christmas Eve and I have decided to post a few videos that I want to share you folks. But first, to protect me from any further legal action, I have posted a disclaimer page on my blog, so you can read on what I had posted. Remember: The posts that I had made are purely those of me, the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the parties involved.

Anyways, onward. I was watching a few funny videos on YouTube. First off, Now there’s a true meaning of “This Just In”. A well known Canadian personality and now anchor for a local ABC TV affiliate (WLS-TV, channel 7) in Chicago, Illinois named Ravi Baichwal really got a jolt of his life when as he talked to a reporter live on the scene, a car crashed in the middle of their news studio and this have startled Mr. Baichwal. He immediately reacted by saying “Ho!!!” As the reporter finishes talking live, she asks, “What Happened?” (you can hear that on the video below). Luckily, no one was apparently injured, but the driver who apparently drives the car and crashes to the studio was later charged for reckless driving and not carrying any insurance.

Anyways, you can have a look of the video right here:

Here’s how the anchor reacted:

Here’s what the damaged caused by the car to the studio:

Just like the song “Say Anything” by Marianas Trench:

“That one stings a little
I’m always in the middle
I don’t expect but try me
And you will always find me here
This is where I scream from….”

If you are reading this blog now, Josh Ramsay, you will be stunned if you suddenly got this similar experience for you and the band. The same goes for The Wise Guys on the CHFI morning show “Erin and Mike”. Follow the lines of that song. The rest explains itself.

In other massive crash news, I was watching a very funny video on Youtube of a cycling rack in Australia, when somehow, there was a chain reaction of many cyclists riders crashing on the track. 12 riders crashed on the track, but apparently no one got seriously hurt. You can see the pictures of the crash right here:

Here’s a few videos that I scoured on Youtube:

It could have got worse for those riders. They should congratulate themselves on the best moment they will remember for many years to come. It seems that the cyclists on the crash and Ravi Baichwal has finally faced, “The Shortest Line” (an homage of the song by the Canadian Punk-Rock band Social Code) As what the late-Herbert Morrison once said when commentating on the horrific Hindenburg blimp tragedy in 1939, “Oh, The Humanity!!”

If anyone wants to see the cyclist crashed into a dog on the Tour De France, you can see it here:

Anyways, if you have children with you and reading this blog just now, please remember to tuck them into bed early tonight. Don’t let your kids stay up late and/or don’t let them to see Santa in the middle of the morning……on behalf of myself, Merry Christmas. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, thank you for taking the time for reading my blog posting.
