Just watched his African hunting thing. Quite enjoyable. It's ace how he sort of gets the people themselves to do the commentary on what they're doing and why.

Also he looks crazily like a slightly weathered David Tennant in some bits. I think they have similar glasses. I saved a snapshot if I can remember where VLC saves pictures.

Not as good as the crazy American homophobic church family, or the nazi pop twins. It's more enjoyable watching when all involved are a bit mental.

Are those twins legal yet? I bet they're pretty fit.

Less about Louis Theroux.

What the fuck is that avatar all about?

It's a tale of love, deception and happiness told with little coloured blocks. Took me hours that did.

Is it an animated gif, or did you used Flash?

I used flash, then exported it as an animated gif. So it doesn't use any flash specialness. Vector Graphics are good for something like that.

My last one with the crazy isometric fB I drew pixel by pixel using Graphics Gale. I go through stages of trying to be good at pixel art, but I quickly get bored when I'm not as good as I'd like to be. It's something I admire though, the stuff people create in low resolutions and a limited palette can be spectacular. The 16 colour versions of old lucasarts adventure games can be a good example.

OOh I need to watch this and Dr Who.

They'll both still be on the BBC Iplayer thing I'd have thought.

That's Doctor Who lining up his sights on a warthog or something.

I think it's the top of his face which looks the same, there's probably a better example but I was a bit slow with the pause and got bored.

I think I shall do some fiddling when I get some time. I'm bored of my non-moving avatar.

You should do something subtle with your current one, like make it wink every 15 seconds or so. Just so if someone saw it in the corner of their eye it would fuck with their mind.

i think that louis went into the program with the wron attitude. as the guy right at the end said "south africa is fucked, i'm trying to make as much money as  can".

i couldn't see much difference between what happens on these fenced mini reserves and a slaughter house each day- they're equally as wrong  :old:

sorry i'm being sensible and i've been awake for 15 minutes...eurgh

Agreed Bennett I thought I'd watch this and think at the end, that's wrong, disgusting etc.  But as bad as it seems I didn't think those game reserves were that bad.  

As one of them said look at Zimbabwe, the wild life there has all but become extinct.  Yeah so some yanks go there, pay a huge amount of money to kill some animals.  Some of the Saffa's arguments were well based.

Fair play to the people that earn a living from the game reserves.

It's the twats that pay to kill animals that get me.

Lets all get cammed up and kill a warthog that's as tame as a wild animal can be. We'll stay in a hide and shoot it when it comes to drink.

How the fuck is that hunting?

It was odd but great all the same but the best Louis was the swingers or the demolition derby episode years back.

I could deal with shooting a wild boar tame or not as it's a delicious meat as are Kudus but a lion and rhino is just odd.   I can see the appeal of man vs beast and tracking a large creature down, which is a sport like fishing but shooting at a tame lion virtually point blank in a fenced area sounds like small cock syndrome or like that Canadian wife a strange sort of lust to kill a large beast.
