this and that...

it seems to me that not everyone on this planet does respect Rocky as much as george does for example... just have a look at this video, a new version of the "eye of the tiger"....

HERE you can find a better version of this song accompanied by a few Rocky fights...

------

do you know what the main difference between a European and an American car chase is?
First take a look at this video:
Germany

then compare it to the following one from the
US1
US2

I don't understand why the police in American car chases always tries to crash the other car to stop it. They might as well just use on of those things to stop a person from driving on an interstate...

Anyway, I understand that you are not supposed to speed in the US, however, I don't get why such car chases need to be organized once the police has seen the licence plate the challenge to find out who the driver is should not be that hard...

By the way, these videos remind me of my trip to the US once again. As we drove for 5-6 hours every day for two weeks we had the unique opportunity of getting a good impression of roads and road design in the (south-western) US. In my opinion there should be no speed limit in the desert of Nevada where you drive straight ahead for hours overtaking another car from time to time. The only intersting thing you might see are signs saying; "do not stop for hitchhikers. State penitentiary ahead"...

hey!
What's the deal with this guy from the Rocky parody anyway? He should at least show some respect...

And regarding the car chases, you can definitely see a difference between the German chase and the second American chasing scene! I mean, in this 1-minute-clip from the US you'll get to see how to really stop a driving maniac! Cool stuff!

Seeya, man!
PS: Thanks for the advice regarding the URL, I'll see what I can do.
