You want a space taxi? Well, if it's going to be anything like the German version...

maybe the US version could be less embarrassing?

...I'm not a trekkie, but I can't forget when mr. Shatner told his fans to get a life http://www.myvideo.de/watch/12... ...yeah yeah...that's probably a humorous parody

Probably? Come on, that skit was from Saturday Night Live.

...I'm not a trekkie, but I can't forget when mr. Shatner told his fans to get a life http://www.myvideo.de/watch/12... ...yeah yeah...that's probably a humorous parody, but he really "killed" it for a lot of people back then. The no #1 rule of Hollywood is to always cherish your fans, never spit on them. He always told in interviews after that, that trekkies really don't have a life etc. You can find this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...

It was funny, because it is so true. The people he inspired are those that excelled in sciences and in school, not people who are so obsessed with belonging to the "community" that they have to go dress up and go to conventions. Bill inspired me to get my degree in Physics. And I also laugh at the so-called-fans who can quote lines from the show, but never understand or even care to understand the science underlying it.

Citation from Wikipedia: The much-discussed sketch accurately portrayed his feelings about Trekkies, which the actor had previously discussed in interviews.[26] Shatner had been their unwilling subject of adoration for decades; End Citation.

After that, even though I'm not a trekkie...I lost whatever little respect I had for the fat has-been actor of "Shit my Dad says" etc...

Where do you think the whole middle-aged-guy-living-in-parents-basement meme comes from? The only new thing here is that it happens to girls, as well as guys.

See, Bill Shatner had it nailed years ago...

I think William Shatner said it best.

is a botnet.

Cheers.

Germany has youtube-like sites like http://myvideo.de/. Irish people just used youtube anyway. As google has an immense server farm in Dublin, probably makes sense to provide some videos more locally if they can.
