Wasting time online

I have no doubt at all that there will be many people out there (Daily Mail readers, overly earnest lefties, pious clerics and animal lovers to name but a few) who will find this site, billed as helping people to learn the value of wasting time, absolutely stupid. It is a collection of video clips of people and animals doing breathtakingly idiotic stuff, peppered with clips from South Park and Family Guy. There is no doubt that some of it is pretty unpleasant.

Occasionally, though, the clips can be very funny. The World's Dumbest Animal, for example, features what appears to be genuine wildlife footage of a white antelope running headlong into a tree and knocking itself out in front of an astonished (and perhaps delighted) pride of lions. It beggars belief. In fact, I have watched it three times and still can't quite believe it. Is it a fake? And if so, how? PatExcellente, who sent me the link, thinks it might be part of a beer commercial. All suggestions, thoughts and expressions of outrage can be posted below.
