Weng Weng & YouTube

I was driving around Sydney a little while back, listening to the radio and they were talking about an addiction to YouTube. In particular, they'd found several videos of a Filipino actor called Weng Weng. So I checked them out, and I have to admit they are VERY funny. Turns out Weng Weng holds the record as the shortest actor in a leading role (2ft 9in!). He plays a sort of James Bond role in 'For Your Height Only' & 'The Impossible Kid'.... watch as he beats up 10 'normal' sized men & then jumps into bed with a hot woman! Unfortunately, the little fella is dead now so no hope of him reprising the role after his internet success.

Also on subject of YouTube... if you use iTunes then I would thoroughly recommend subscribing to the 'Best of YouTube' video podcast. There's some excellent stuff on there with particular favourites a little girl threatening to "kick a monster's ass before it kicks hers", a telephone conversation with a call centre trying to explain why 0.002 cents is not the same as 0.002 dollars & a treadmill music video (one of many amusing videos by Chicago band OK Go).

Finally,came across a show on ABC radio, which was very much like the 'Legends' program on Century Radio in the UK. However, instead of Bernie Slaven, Eric Gates & Malcolm MacDonald, they had 3 NRL players (can't remember their names). Brought back memories of home.....
