Video sites - YouTube & Google Video

So I was reading up on Pastor Tim's blog and saw that he mentioned my blog and a few others including a cool website created and maintained by Josh Ernestrom, FallForwardFilms.com. I got to thinking, Josh has done some really funny videos and maybe he has others that are not Grace Church related, so I searched you tube and found a little collection: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=fallforwardfilms

I have written a few scripts of my own and videos like these keep me inspired.

That is another thing about all the crazy videos on these sites. Not only do you find something really funny, but you can find things are are extremely stupid. I tell people that if you ever are humbled or feel or depressed you can always look for people doing stuping things on Google Video or YouTube to make yoruself feel better. Here is 2 examples:

So I just found out the the NFL is threatening to sue organizations that show the big game on displays larger than 55". News articles are specifically pointing out that it has been churches the NFL has focused upon. Read it for yourself at the LA Times

I was considering throwing a super bowl party at my office using our surround sound and 9.5' wide projection screen. I guess I cannot do this either. I find myself wondering why this does not apply to the fancy restaurants and bars that use large screen projectors. Why are these business exempt?

We have all this fancy technology and the community is not allowed to use it. The NFL is trying to hide behind the fact that neilsen ratings do not account for public showings. True, but public showings also include the bars and restaurants again - which the NFL conveniently provides a blind eye.

I must admit, I am frustrated - and confused.

I love my family. Going on outings like this sure make the hard work I do during the week worthwhile.
