Background Actor Fails

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 07:19 PM PST

These background actors have no idea what they are doing.

The guy who has no idea how brooms work:

This guy who definitely just fought a ghost:

These fierce warriors performing in their brutal fight:

And these guys too:

This guy that is pretty sure he was just kicked:

Whoever that stormtrooper in the back is who didn't realize there was a DOOR THERE:

This guy who has no control over his arm movements:

This little kid who wanted everyone to look at…something.

This woman who is unsure of how cutting food works:

This dude who doesn't know how he even ended up where he is:

This guy THROWING AN ACTUAL DOG INTO THE WATER:

That dude back there who literally is just standing there with his pants open:

That girl in the back who doesn't realize you aren't supposed to stop running and just look at the camera:

This guy who really thought it was important to fall and roll over:

This guy, who finally realized he'd just been shot:

This guy who looks a little too jolly to be running into shark-infested waters:

And this cat who clearly will never work another day in his life:

There’s no sport in killing a lion like this..

In his weekly address, President Obama gave thanks to all the men and women defending our freedom and acknowledged their sacrifice might mean they can’t spend the holidays with their families. The President also recognized that as Americans, we gather together this Thanksgiving to lift up those who need a helping hand, letting us move forward as a country and lead us to a brighter tomorrow.

Seth's Blog : Culture and selfishness

Culture and selfishness

One person selfishly drops a piece of litter on the ground, the other selfishly picks it up.

Everything we do is done because it's better than not doing it. "Better" is the complicated term. Better might mean, "gives me physical pleasure right now," for some people, while better might mean, "the story I tell myself about the contribution I just made gives me joy and satisfaction."

Society benefits when people selfishly choose the long view and the generous view. The heroes we look up to are those that sacrificed to build schools, to overcome evil, to connect and lead--even though it didn't necessarily help them in the short run.

Culture, then, provides the bridge between childish, naive instincts to only do what feels good now, to only help ourselves and maybe our kids. Culture makes it too socially expensive to brag about not giving money to charity or, to pick an absurd example, to kill the infirm and the less fortunate. We reduce sociopathic behavior by establishing norms and rewarding those that contribute while shunning and punishing those that don't.

Marketers have a huge role in this, because we are the amplified culture creators. When we sell people on quick satisfaction now, is it any wonder that people buy it?

In the US, today some people will give thanks for what they personally have. Others will focus more on what has gone right for family and friends. And others will dig deeper and think hard about what they can do to take an even longer view, and to create a platform where even more people will be thankful a year or a decade from now.

Sure, we're all selfish, but our culture rewards those who take their selfishness to the long-term, to the narrative of leader and caretaker and gardener, not merely self-interested consumer.

One of the greatest things to be thankful for is the fact that we live in a culture that pushes each of us to be thankful and generous. It didn't have to turn out that way, and I'm glad it did.
