Prepare to waste 10 minutes of your life

This is just so sweet and funny, and yet so incredibly dull, whilst being amazingly watchable, and yet incredibly pointless, but also life-affirming, and finally completely and utterly a waste of time. Bliss…

Many danke schons to @bawwby for this true (pointless) find.

    I’ve got ‘Camcorder Testing (3)’ and can confirm the guy was running for fun NOT practising for some ‘kinda’ race. Ergo, NOT a ‘SERIOUS’ runner.
    Hope, for some, that may clear a spot on the old Santa list.

    I hope when aliens land on our planet years after we have passed on, that this is the only piece of evidence they find of us.

    Any fans of this video will love my Dad’s 2002 holiday video of Florence, with its rhythmic, ritualistic “Pan Left, Pan Right, Pan Centre, Zoom In, Zoom Out” treatment of Every Single Thing in Florence. The audio consists of my Dad repeatedly saying “And here is the famous…” followed by my Mum saying what it is, as he doesn’t know. I reckon I can get it all edited down to about 3 hours, but I could make a second DVD available with deleted scenes as “Easter eggs”.

    Fans of this would love my Dad's video of his holiday to Florence in 2002. It's notable for his use of a ritualistic, rhythmic “Pan left, pan right, pan centre, zoom in, zoom out” movement for every single shot. The soundtrack is the lens cap hitting the side of the camera, with my Dad repeatedly saying “Here we are at the famous…” followed by my Mum having to tell him what it is. I've edited it down to 3 hours, but I reckon I could do a second DVD of deleted scenes if the demand is there.

    Weirdly this is as comforting as a favourite cardigan and slippers. By the way is this park specifically for foreign sports?

    Wow, that actually went by really fast. It was everything you said it would be. Have you seen this? It's wonderful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWQR36dW0GA
