Chilling footage shows Albert Scotsen calmly reacting to a grim reaper prank for a Canadian TV show. Sadly, he passed away from cancer after filming.
Albert Scotsen became one of the internet's most quietly haunting figures after appearing on the Canadian hidden camera show Just For Laughs Gags.
In the clip, filmed in a grocery store, he looks at a security monitor and sees his own reflection standing in front of the Grim Reaper.
While every other prank victim before him had reacted with shock or laughter, Scotsen barely reacted at all.
Just a calm, almost accepting look, and then he moved on.
That reaction went viral years later, and the reason it hit so hard was the context.
He had been battling cancer at the time. He passed away from the illness after the footage was filmed.
In Malcolm in the Middle, Bryan Cranston gained a reputation for fully committing to the show’s outrageous physical comedy. He performed many demanding stunts himself, including being covered with roughly 10,000 live bees, learning and executing a choreographed roller-skating routine, and even enduring real waxing sessions on camera for the sake of authenticity.
Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”
Carolyn Davidson was a graphic design student at Portland State University when Phil Knight, who was then teaching accounting part-time, asked her to create a logo for his fledgling shoe company.
She billed the project at $2 per hour and received a total of $35 for her work. The design she produced would eventually become the iconic Nike swoosh.
Twelve years later, in 1983, Knight invited Davidson to a company event and surprised her with a special gift: a gold ring featuring the swoosh logo set with a diamond, along with an envelope containing 500 shares of Nike stock.
Over time, those shares grew in value and are now worth millions of dollars.
And now the Kremlin says it is waging war against Ukraine to stop Ukrainian strikes on Moscow and St. Petersburg — strikes that simply did not exist until Russia invaded Ukraine.
The dumbest war in the dumbest timeline in human history.
