[QUOTE=gonzomax] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF0WQWyeH5M](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF0WQWyeH5M) Bitchy lady getting hers from a pissed off mother. [/QUOTE] IIRC, the back story to this vid was that the lady’s daughter had died somehow and the older lady was merely trying to smear the woman’s dead daughter by implying she was a pothead even though it had absolutely no bearing on the cause of death. My only regret for this vid was the deceased’s mother didn’t knock her all the way out. Edit: Here was one of the explanations in the comments. > [@](#): > > The lady in red is the defendent of an alleged murderer. The murder victim’s name is Teri. The Lady in red says “Teri had THC in her system”, which meant she was on drugs, and basically is suggesting that she wasn’t so innocent and kinda got what she deserved. ---

[QUOTE=Plan B] Why do you say “bitchy.” I couldn’t hear what she was saying. Was she provoking the woman who hit her? [/QUOTE] I’m pretty sure that this video was the subject of a thread here a while back, but I can’t find it. IIRC, the explanation goes something like this: The scene is at a courthouse during (after?) a murder trial. Woman ‘A’, who threw the punch, is a relative of the murder victim. Woman ‘B’, who got hit, is a relative of the defendant, and was speaking ill of the victim. Woman ‘A’ didn’t care much for those comments. ---

[QUOTE=Daffyd] Heartless, checking in… That video not only didn’t make me smile, it made me never want to have children… That was supposed to be cute? It was just _ **annoying** _… [/QUOTE] It’s cuter/funnier when you’re more familiar with what they’re trying to imitate, I guess. Oh and some more videos: If you haven’t seen it already, it’s some sort of South Asian [“Thriller”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUL2Y0CeYGc) knockoff. Also the music vidoe for [“An Eye for an Eye”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRbrJHUrIqk) by UNKLE. The quality could be better though. ---

I like Natalie, but I really prefer her jazz numbers. She’s as good in that genre as anybody ever. I love on this clip that so many people in her audience sing with her she could almost have left the backups home! 😉 ---
