Dolphins are on the same (emotional) level as us


Dolphins are right there on the food chain with us, maybe we share our position with even more animals. Recently a research has shown that dolphins go through the same developments form child to adult as we do. They are smart and have a self-awareness, they can recognize themselves in the mirror. Where other species ignore the mirror or think it is another member of their kind.

There have been cases where dolphins come to the rescue when a human is under attack from a shark. Maybe you’ve seen it, but the dolphins rescued the surfer while he was being attacked by a shark. Sharks are not a part of their diet, so why did they do this?

A lot of research has been done when it comes to the self-awareness, I looked up this video from CNN for you to watch. It shows footage of dolphins recognizing themselves in the mirror and checking themselves out. It is a fun video to watch, who doesn't love dolphins, always laughing. They do seem to understand us.

A guy eating dog poop? - Ameriquest Commercial

I was surfing on the internet today, trying to find a funny commercial, and I found alright! It is a bit of an old commercial, but it's still funny if you ask me. This commercial is from the mortgage company Ameriquest, the slogan they used in their commercials was: "Don't judge too quickly, we won't". What they created were some really funny commercials, there are a lot of them. All of them are very short and straight to the point, which makes them very funny. The one I found hilarious was this one:


In this commercial you see a guy with his dog, just sitting in the park and enjoying the weather. Deciding that it is time to go home he starts to gather his things and stands up. The dog then sees another dog and gets excited, pulling the guy forwards. The guy then drops his chocolate brownie (or whatever chocolaty thing it is), it lands behind the dog. An elderly woman and her granddaughter walk on by and they see the two dogs. Our guy pick up his brownie with a paper, making it seems like he is picking up the dog's poop. He cleans it up a bit and start to eat it. The disgust is obvious on the faces of the elderly woman and her granddaughter. The guy is happy with his brownie, then he realizes what it must seem like to the elderly woman. He quickly tries to sign to them that this is not what it seems! The emotions that the commercial transfers to us, the viewers, are obvious. We sit on our couch with a great big smile on our face. That is what I love about this commercial is all the emotions and the body language, there are no conversations, the entire story is told with emotions. What can I say, strong commercial, strong message, and a very good looking brownie.
