  • freak

  • Well it's easier to rage about war between some 2 African countries than trying to do something with your life.

  • That's so true. I wish I could double thumbs up.

  • See the movie " The Network"; Perfect Example!

  • my good i have no life...

  • I've been told by a few people that they hate seeing happy couples because it reminds them how shitty their own relationships are. I think there's a direct correlation here. People don't wanna read happy, feel good stuff all the time (unless they are happy and feel good) because it makes them think how shitty their own lives are.

    hmmm...

    the above isn't a negative comment, just a thought

  • But people do it all the time. Post happy stuff. Think about people magazine. How to better your life. How to lose weight in ten days. How to make your life better. That is all happy stuff and it sells amazingly well.

  • You right..

  • therealweekly news Owns this dude.

  • yep.

    definately

  • better than everybody?

  • 99.9% true

  • it got bad ratings cuz it would be un realistically wrong,what u shoudl do is make a newspape with more positive then negitive,now that ould prove/dis prove ur point,ur so twisted into your little corner, for all i know u could be 100% right but u don't have even a drop of usable reasurch backing ths up, 2/5

  • yawn.. who died and gave you a degree in sociology you have really no idear more like your lazy and you fear change you sound like a rtard tbh and allso you need some help mate.....

  • What are you talking about mate? He could be the social teacher I never had. I fear through that he would rather try to control me or fill my head with his propaganda. Because let's ge hones: He kind of talk to one that "That's what you SHOULD think and do aswell!"

  • i believe its (pronunciation-wise) : Skott Roady

  • u kinda look like tony stark you just need to shave ur beard o.o

  • dont insult Robert Downey jr. thats just rude

  • Really? And I thought the saying goes "No News is Good News. Bad News travels far too fast." ;p

    But, as you say, for the media good news is far too boring. On the other hand, exceptional news like someone cures inoppearable cancer is worth an article. :S

  • Swine Flu doesn't piss me off. H1N1 pisses me off*. Get it?

    *Swine Flu doesn't exist.

  • it does exist it was just a small test by the Satanic Goverment as labortory rats, the big one will come soon, and people will be off guard and stupid, because they will think it doesnt exist. it was all about Panic.

  • haha blunty u said it and ur living it :p

  • 2:08 youchube!!! lol

  • yawn...

  • Wow, I'd never actually realised what was actually the root of it all.

    And just as I'm typing this, I'm seeing the irony of getting angry at newspapers for feeding us bad news.

    Good news is, I suppose, we can change our reading habits and affect those of others. So this is something we CAN do something about.

    ...Touché...

  • Good news is your views on the world give me something to think about and smile sometimes , Bad news I think you screwed your beard up while shaving seems to be a bit missing on the side or did you just do it to see how many people would notice ? catch ya later

  • That was a dumb comment. Who cares about his beard..listen to what he is saying. We need much more positive and encouraging words, and less high school drama to keep us going. We all need to grow up.

  • You're absolutely right Blunty, and it PISSES ME OFF! ...yet there is nothing I can do about it... Ironic?

  • you speak as though you have no idea how to communicate with normal people properly.

    its really weird

  • I learned in English that good news dosent sell

    We need 2 be scared

    There was a show called 'Good News' and that got canned in two months because no one wants to watch good news

  • lol "it's good news week" XD -starts singing-

  • I normally agree with you Blunty but i cant agree here. If not for 'bad news' then what else is the media for? In all honestly 'good news' is boring. *However, i agree with you about the scare-mongering etc. Just give the bad news and move on...

  • "Blunty but i cant agree here. If not for 'bad news' then what else is the media for? In all honestly 'good news' is boring." Uh actually, that means you ARE agreeing with me champ ;)

  • So apart from stating facts, what was the point of the video?

  • Must we all be blunty's slaves???

    * we all agree.....blunty* (< in a weird robot voice)

    oh and the swine flu is a government plotted sickness!!!

  • but I don't even read the newspapers, I actually prefer to just go about my daily life making every attempt at getting a decent job so I can have money and enjoy my insignificant life on this planet.

  • wow dude you're right, I always like the rants on youtube the most, if they're done well of course, rather than watching someone talk about how much they love something XD!

    Also I love you impression at the end ^^!

  • shows how twisted n screwed up the human race really is. very true indeed whe u think about it -_-

  • I'd have to agree with ihm. it's why i stopped reading the nwspaper, or watching it for that matter. Well put, Blunty, Well put.

  • I love watching these videos and then seeing all the snarky people on here thinking they're so cool trying to point out something wrong with his video, in this case how he would be a "hypocrite" because he's complaining about people complaining.

    I don't ever recall him saying in a video that he's above everyone else and doesn't complain about things like everyone else does, he's just being straight and telling it like it is. And he's usually, although not 100%, right.

  • you don't even know what half the words that come out of your mouth mean

  • Blunty for PM!!

  • well think about it, if our newspapers to make nothing but good news, us, the readers would feel like shit since everything is apparently better than our lives, however if the news is always bad stuff it kinda puts our lives into perspective and we wont feel like shit as much cause there is someone worse off than us

  • well said B3 :)

  • do you smoke a lot of pot? it would explain much but i still love the vids blunty

  • fucking crack head

  • oh so THATS y u insult ppl

  • We never accept substitutes, O Wise One.

  • You make a valid point, Blunty, but is it too much to ask for at least some balanced proportion of good news to bad news in media? If not all shiny/happy/kumbaya, at least not all doom and gloom would be a vast improvement. Wouldn't it be nice if just every other week or so, the papers led w/ "Beloved Teacher Retires After 20 Years of Making a Difference" or "Scientist Makes Important Medical Discovery, Improves Human Existence" instead of "Pirates Seize Cargo Vessel" or "Civilization Doomed"?

  • Yea that made alot of sense. But these days instead of being passivist to things like terrorism and swine flu i just ignore them because as you said i have no control over them. Im completely ignoring swine flu because i assume my government (and everyone elses) will contain but thats just me

  • Oops i didnt mean passivist, i meant the opposite of passivist whatever that is

  • When I realised how much all the angst and anger from the media affected me I stopped watching it on the box. No more murder or mayhem! No more tragedy! I hear about it anyway and I get the news in my email box. Me getting caught up in it emotionally doesn't halp so... no more.

  • you're right, people are annoyingly predictable

  • Um...

    I don't want to be powerless.

    I'm tired of being angry.

    I'm very tired of being scared.

    I'd absolutely love to take responsiblity to fix things and actively try to do my part for whatever it's worth.

    As for TV sensationalism; I'd personally be a far, far happier person if it'd just go away... go away...  ...go away... ...forever away...

    *hums quietly to self*

  • You hit the nail on the head :)

  • Haha very true Blunty, this video made a lot of sense.

  • so true

    and im not afraid to admit it. i do like to be angry because it IS easier and that's how ive been hardwired by the media

  • You know if i met you in real life youd probley be like my best friend.^^ cause your like awesome

  • Good news is published, but its less likely to grab peoples attention. I read in the Guardian today that China is now considering negotiating lowering their carbon emissions. Should be in action by 2020.

    Subtle bland good news.

  • Good point but I still view the fear aspect of humanity a bit more relevant, why it keeps ratings up. I mean no one would report about anything if it didn't shock or scare the shit out of anyone. Boring news, ho hum, let's report about how a seemly isolated and small incident could possibly expand into a really big one even though officials probably are already preventing that from happening because it's their job.

  • you are so hypocratic blunty.

    all the time you talk about people who are angry and what lowlifes haters are, but on the other hand you complain and complain and complain.

    do you think that you are better that the complainers?

    cause what you are doing is complaining about the complainers.

    which makes you infact a complainer too.

  • and yet, here you are, watching and commenting. Interesting.

  • Ooooh! Good one. Though, in a way, his simplistic logic is not incorrect, I don't really care; at least you provide an interesting opinion and insight into it.

    Oh, and on the subject of fearmongering, I believe Rom Emanuel said it best: You dont ever want a crisis to go to waste; its an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid.

    By the way, if I may rant in this tiny box: USE. A. DICTIONARY. BEFORE. YOU. COMMENT. ON. YOUTUBE. (Guess who that was directed at.)

  • its not that i don't enjoy videos that you put on youtube, oh contraire!

    thing is: your rants about haters and complainers.

    i believe everyone has the right of saying what they want.

    the way you breath out sometimes, thats just so dismissive.

    you're acting like: i got it all figured out you tiny folks out there.

    some people love to identify themselves with the console they posses and bash others, so be it.

    sometimes you're preacing hypocratic tolerance.

    but anyways: greetings from germany!

  • You're complaining about him complaining so you're just as bad

  • This isn't about complaining, did you watch more then the first 30 seconds of it?

    If you couldn't see that, then i don't know what to say really.

  • If you thought about it properly he's complaining about how people complain all the time.

  • i wasn't refering to this video, just something that was on my mind.

    plus: i never said that i don't complain.

    blunty makes it seem as if he's less of a complainer than others and someone who figured out how the system works. (1:15)

    this wiseguy breath-out, killing me :)

    in german we say: besserwisser (wiseacre?)

    but in fact he's just a complainer of a different kind and complains for instance about complainers.

    so if you will: i'm complainer about a complainer who complains about complainers ;)

  • Think of it from a new perspective Blunty.

    If the world didnt have problems and no one fought and the dramatic bullshit that is our lives never unraveled.. We would still have news. We would probably even have BETTER news. News not focused on the worlds problems but rather on improvements. No matter what there will be problems. I just hope that in the near future they won't be caused by us.

  • 2:45 - 2:50 is great. 5 Stars for just that 5 seconds.

  • I agree with everything you just said, and sadly it is true bad news does sell papers more so then good news.

  • OMG It's Robert Downey Jr.

  • LETS PUT HIM A IRONMAN SUIT :D

  • IMMEDIATELY!

  • lmao yeah man totally agree, save us blunty from the chaos of the world!!

  • True.

  • that's why it's up to people like us to spread the joy, the media's definitely not going to anytime soon. (unless it'll help them make a decent buck)

  • Fear mongering = money for the media networks. That's the sad sad truth. I'd read more news thingies if they published good things. That's the reason I stopped reading the paper and other news platforms. THERE WILL BE ENORMOUS TERRORIST ATTACKS IN AUS!!! I'm still waiting... SARS WILL KILL YOU!!! I went to SE Asia when that was the 'in thing', not dead yet. I think what I'm trying to say is that news reporters are wankers, and I don't buy into their lies. I hate lies.

  • @nellezor

    They don't really lie, they rather exaggerate anything because they think it's that important or they want people to think it.

    S.A.R.S., H5N1 and now A/H1H1 were and still are threats, as well as ebola would be one, too. The thing is that they don't usually balance. There are so many dangerous things: climate change, diseases, earthquakes, volcano outbreaks, traffic accidents, obesity, fundamentalist/extremist groups of "religious" people ...

  • Even though I'd also like to hear about good things, only. Seriously. Like new ways of curing diseases, good economy statuses, new inventions, positive coincidences, states disarming their armies ...

  • *A/H1(N)1

  • Blunty you rule man. As a soon to be Australian, I'd be more then proud to put you as the face of australia! ..maybe along with Steve Irwin.. but still, You rule man! Keep it up! :)

  • You are being angry and have no control over other people being angry over what they have no control.

  • Great points. ;-)

  • you are right blunt.

  • domestic TERRORISM!!!  :P

  • totally true blunty, thats why i read the daily star for just the celeb gossip,at least its happy......

  • we scottish DO NOT talk like that (unless we live in Glasgow)

  • My friend Scott IS from glasgow ;)

  • haha

  • Lol, Ellie, he just pwned you.

    This is funny :D

  • very funny ali

    you live near glasgow too

  • So true.

  • There's always an article in the newspaper/magazine I get (called The Week) titled "It wasn't all bad..." which lists a few of the week's happy stories - which I think is a great idea.

  • I agree. But what good news is there besides babies being born and advances in technology?

  • There is marriages. There could medicines and cures for deseases, movies coming out, politicians having lunch, speaches, new books, Sports weather It might be be hard to find and talk about but there is good news everywhere. Or maybe we don't need somebody to tell us the news. We could just live our lives and be happy.

  • Hey Blunty: you print it, I'll buy it.

  • There was a good news show, from Buffalo, New York, when I was a kid, but it didn't last long. The stories they covered were local; not really interesting global stuff.

  • If you take your schizophrenic medication then Scott Rhodie might go away lol

  • u seen good news week????? LOL jokes

  • 2:44 LOL xD

    Awesome Vid!

  • It could also be something of a comfort zone issue. I can watch some terrible conflict or disease epidemic on the news and at least believe that I'm safe because I'm sitting at home away from it all.

    Kinda reminds me of "Vicarious" by Tool, in that way.

  • I love that song :)

  • dude, you look like robert downey jr.?

  • Good points!!

  • Or, people might just want the truth instead of hearing good, happy news.

  • see,you just proved his point.you think bad news is the only true news.but if you really want some true news try getting the news stations to do what they did oh so many years ago and get into our government and dig the truth out of people...although that will most likely cause bad news too...hmm...this country sucks...but...i dont know anymore...

  • 2:44 and on Blunty has huge spasms.

    Lol

  • One reason - RATINGS !

    Main stream media sucks

  • thanks blunty , you always seem to spot stuff that we feel inside but never really speak up about it! keep up the good work man!

  • I'm picturing you naked.

  • me too

  • I am glad a man can talk like this. I feel this way but it may be a girl thing. I guess it's a human thing. Good!

  • Very true . . .

    It's so much easier to blame "the media" or "politician x" or "the government" than it is to blame the person watching it, supporting it (or choosing to do nothing) - usually the person in the mirror.

  • SO true... so sadly true...

  • lol i love the look on your face on the last frame XD

  • Love it when he does his mock american accent!

  • blunty in HD, wow i didnt know crap could be so clear, just kidding, keep up the good work!!!

    ps give away some more free stuff lol

  • lov it ur awsom

  • hmm well i guess you actully right blunty

    btw YOU BET YOU ASS I CAN STILL BE ANGRY ABOUT IT >:D

  • Ha, I enjoyed the noises you made Blunty! Well said anywho. Sort of makes you feel ashamed, in an odd sort of way.

  • Got that right, mate!

  • Well there's always the, 'And finally!' stories which are supposed to give us a lift after the onslaught of depression, but I agree, there is good news out there that just gets ignored.

  • i'd like a mix.

  • This video was certainly good news to me =D

  • 6,666 views.. lawl.

    anyways, yes I agree. people just love to have something to whine about. even if they got a face full of sunshine they´ll still be like "well what about this then?". most people doesnt really seem like they want to be in a good mood.

  • germans (some of them atleast) bitch and bitch and bitch about shit YET!!! they don't do anything to change it, why not u ask? cause they say it's impossible even though it isn't. they just love to complain

  • misery loves company

    lol 3rd most sub'd heh ironic

  • I agree - Wouldn't it be great if the press wouldn't sensationalize all the stuff they print.

  • i disagree. I would rather hear some good news.

  • Completely agree. That topic seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. Have you read "The Unknown Terrorist"? if not read it. Its about how we have a society built on fear and how the media feeds us propaganda rubbish to keep us afraid and angry, because like Blunty said, that is secretly what we all want

  • If bad news really did sell as well as you say, then how come the New York Times is in such a bad place right now?  That's all they ever publish!

  • look at you at 2:45

  • your stupid...who cares about this crap...i dont understand y your 3rd most subscribed!

  • purplepicklevideos:

    Oh god, another one?!

    Kill it, kill it!

    Seriously though, don't be so stupid, Some people do care about this "Crap", and some people like his Videos, that's why he is the 3rd most subbed.

  • Joshp011 thanks for advertising me on the 3rd most subed...lol THE VIDEO IS FRICKEN STOUPID THOUGH ONESTLY! THINK ABOUT IT DOES THIS VIDEO TELL YOU ANYTHING IMPORTANT REALLY! ITS FUCKEN STOUPID!

  • purplepicklevideos:

    Okay, sorry, it is your opinion I guess, I was just saying that some people do like these Videos.

    But what do you mean I advertised you on the 3rd most subbed..?

    You mean because I put

    "purplepicklevideos:" at the top? If so, I do that because Youtube's reply system is wrecked, and most of the time it looks like I didn't reply to anything, when I actually did.

  • people with an IQ above 90 who actually give a crap how we are positioned to think and to believe from media and we can be manipulated into an unnecessary state of fear and hate.

  • lol at 2:15

    i bet it gets all the ladies

  • This is rather dissappointing. It was the first video I saw, and it was just... Eh. It didn't even give me any feeling whatsoever of truth.

  • dude i agree with whatever you talked just about.

    ...and now to rabble rabble at my government for being a law-whore

  • One litre of awesome tasting German/Bavarian please, good sir!

  • It shall be done. I know just the place next time I'm in Syd... now if only I could remember the name of it 0_o

  • What does it look like? I think I have drank in nearly all of Sydney's watering holes.

  • i have swine flu x.x

  • i agree with you blunty, sometimes when im bored i search "i hate gays" and flame the homophobes just for fun (im not gay but i do respect them)!

  • it's called pesimism porn and it's last weeks news. way to be lame blunty

  • I think people like to see other people who are in deeper shit then themselves, wich makes them feel better

  • Ohhh This is the kind of blunty vlogs that got me watching blunty! Good on ya mate, keep up the good work!

    And remember believe nothing, question everything! (or maybe not? What ever floats the boat your on.)

  • Knowing about bad news can sometimes save your life!

  • Great video....i was having a conversation with someone and it relates exactly to this...its because we want to believe it and sadly, a lot of people find anger entertaining. I wonder, when does it get to the point where it becomes annoying?

  • So true B. The majority of people are addicted to drama; and the media, government, some churches and other institutions expoit this addiction for all it is worth.

  • I think we should know about the bad stuff happening.

  • good news week is full of bad news.

    awful show too.

    (most of the time)

  • hehe nice vid. Btw, I think your banner should read "Help me cure stupid: Think, Then do. note the colon. use colons because they're awesome! (in grammar)

  • 0:47

    TURRISM

  • Jeez, I guess everybody will have to do what I do. Ignore the fucking news. Unless there is a PSA saying a nuke or something of that nature has been lobbed at the good old USA I don't care about what's in the news.

  • I second that.

  • You can draw paralells with with the media gossip celebrity bullshit. Who is doing what with who, who is cheating with such as such. blah blah blah. The reality is, people like a rant and reading about other people dumb decisions makes us feel better about ourselves. Hmm...suddenly my life isn't so bad.

  • 2:16 LOL

  • this video is pointless and your message wont get anywhere

  • The video has a very clear point actually... and the "message" seems to have got to you (and several thousand other people so far) easily enough. hmm.

  • Dude, you are my favourtie person on youtube, you so smart and explain alot and you funny. Keep up the Videos 5*

  • because you have a couple thousand subs that is why but when i say 'it wont get anywhere' i mean world wide or to the news headlines

  • and? so?

  • youve sold out

  • did i miss something? you're still living in Australia right? cause the whole beginning of this video, i could've swore you were talking about America!! looks like the whole world is going in the shitter.

  • lol

  • I think the BBC could manage to do a whole day of positive stories because they're not commercially funded.

    However, they would be accussed of breaking their public service mandate by avoiding the negative stuff.

  • Blunty reminds me of Brian from Family Guy.

    Anyone else?

  • I guess it's too hard for people to accept that they are the cause of their own dissatisfaction. If they truly accepted that, then they would have to actually do something about it. And playing the role of the victim of all of life's hardships, would be no longer be the convenient scapegoat that it currently is.

    A man will blame the entire universe for every little thing that goes wrong, but has no problem with claiming full responsibility for anything that goes right.

  • contrary to that i am try to actually do stuff only i am waiting till i am out of high school so i can no have to be near ass holes who want to tell me to shut it

  • well said. sad but true

  • wow kittens and porn i do not want to know what you do to the kittens... :(

  • HAHAHAAH THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

  • meh the big stuff either works itself out or kills you, now a broken nail - that is a problem worth getting angry over!

    i wish we could have a week of kittens and porn! X3

  • Stop dying your hair, Blunty. When your grey roots start showing, the dyed hair looks like a toupee.

    Grey is cool and bald is sexy <3

  • Lol the bit at the end had me in stitches, i did not expect it!
