Featured What?!?! Links: A new kind of bird-watching, Barack-y IV, and Myspace mayhem

As many of you already know, the What?!?! forum is filled with some kinds of strange, interesting, and funny articles, pictures, and videos. Unfortunately, however, the average person doesn't have enough time to sift through the mass of entertainment for those gems that are GUARANTEED to make you laugh out loud.


Barack Obama puts his gameface on in this inspirational video

For that reason, we've compiled a short list of the cream of the crop, the videos and articles that are by all means must see. Happy viewing!

Birds have great aim, especially when you stand right underneath them

This was a lesson learned the hard way for one unfortunate reporter assigned the unenviable task of covering a local bird infestation:



Unfortunately said reporter would not supply an answer when asked if it did in fact taste like chicken.


Barack Obama generates all kinds of buzz

You know that you have made a great impression on Americans when some start comparing you to the hero himself, Rocky Balboa. One clever video editor did just that a fantastic parody of the first Rocky movie, all to the undying tune of "Gonna Fly Now:"



While Obama probably isn't as chiseled as the young Slyvester Stallone, he still makes those one-armed push-ups look pretty damn easy.

Not all the hype was positive, however. "America's Finest News Source," The Onion, reported in March that Obama was seen in Chicago pleading for coins. Needless to say, the local citizens weren't too happy with his endless begging. Don't believe it? See for yourself:

Office affairs don't always live up to the hype

As one businessman learned, sometimes words can be misleading. He thought he was getting a special birthday gift, but...

Why I fired my secretary today


And last but not least...

Meeting random people on Myspace is bad...especially when the whole world knows it

This video serves two excellent purposes: 1) it's a perfect example of a case of internet-based defamation/slander, and 2) it's absolutely hilarious!



It's hard to think what's worse, the fact that she doesn't have a car for a week, the fact that her mom called her out to her boyfriend, or the fact that this family will be hopelessly dysfunctional for years?

WOW. That reporter got such a mouthful right there. Absolutely repulsive.
