dari Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Really? After he told a customer to go straddle a narwhal he wasn't sent home, only sent to pizza cutting area? Shame he got fired, I wish they continued to follow him around, jotting down his thoughts.

Lochlan Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 In my experience grabbing a cactus or falling into them or what-have-yous with force is like falling skateboarding on a rough street pulling rocks out of your hands or where-evers for days! I saw that pick laughed and got chicken skin!

deaddreamnation Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 So if you guys haven't seen these yet... you should check out the other commercials they have. amazing stuff Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/76-random-picture-thread/?page=9#findComment-5495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochlan Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks for the commercials. I went to their website and love the specials list (tired to copy and paste here but couldn't) unfortunately it looks like they are out of business as everything I saw was 2008 and older. I guess I'll have to find another shop next time in CO.

I guess I'll have to find another shop next time in CO. oh they are definitely still around. a friend of mine at another shop here in town called them up asking why their commercials were so fucking lame...and all of the employees were very nice about it and mostly replied with "yeah i know...you need to tell zeke, wanna leave a message?" "and for goodness sakes, be good to your pets!"

Maybe there needs to be a protest outside their shops like the ones outside abortion clinics..... I also think they need Mario to do their next video as the promo he did for Chicago Tattoo Company is great! But would that help?

I really don't think throwing a baby around like some numchucks is yoga, freaked me out, especially where she almost dropped the baby but caught it by it's ankles. Freak!

What the fuck is wrong with people, and why do they insist on bringing their children into whatever weird trip that they are on? I assume that it is her baby. If someone else is letting her do it to their child then they are more fucked up than she is.

What the fuck is wrong with people, and why do they insist on bringing their children into whatever weird trip that they are on? I assume that it is her baby. If someone else is letting her do it to their child then they are more fucked up than she is. oh no, people PAY her to do this to their children. Here's from the blog post on sfgate where i found the video: The viral video of a Russian woman swirling and twirling a baby about seemed so surreal and unreal. Everyone thought it was a hoax. But it turns out Lena Fokina, the famous baby swinger, runs a legit business in Egypt, where she, well, swings babies. Fokina likes to call it "baby yoga." How much do you want to bet that a baby yoga place will open up in Noe Valley within the year? When a five-minute video of a Russian woman swinging a baby around by its ankles and arms first started circulating around the Web, people were convinced that it was a hoax. Gawker ran a story with the headline, "This Baby-Swinging Yoga Video Can't Be Real, Right?" YouTube pulled the video deeming it "shocking and disgusting." If you watch the video (below), you'll understand why. It's rather unsettling to watch this woman, who looks as if she'd fit right in at Yoga Tree, turn a baby upside by its ankles and then flip it up over her head. It turns out this hard-bodied, 50-year-old woman is for real--and babies are a lot stronger than you ever imagined. Lena Fokina runs a yoga business in Dahab, Egypt, and Nathan Thornburgh, a daddy blogger and contributing writer for Time magazine, tracked her down and interviewed her. Here's an excerpt of what Thornburgh has up on his DadWagon blog: The first thing everybody here thought when they saw your baby-swinging video was "Holy s-!" Then they thought, is it real or fake? So: Is it real? If so, who is the baby? The child was born in the Black Sea region. Her name is Platona, and she was two weeks old when we took that video. We have a lot of children like her here. They are early readers, singers, talkers, swimmers. You haven't seen anything like it anywhere!! And there's swimming with dolphins, scuba diving with them. Come to Dahab! And are they early readers, talkers, and so on because of baby yoga? Not only this. It's just one reason. What else makes them so talented then? Love for each other and to one another. I have two small children and I was, you know, careful with them when they were newborns. So it was hard for me to watch your video. It looks like it has to injure the child. Their hands? The cartilage in the joints? Their brains? No. It makes the hands stronger. Did you know that YouTube took the video down because it was in violation of their policy on "shocking and disgusting" content? What is your response to that? Did they notice that the babies aren't crying--they're even laughing--and that this system has been used for over thirty years in Russia and the children are all alive and healthy? If you need more proof, the best thing is to come see us. Have you heard from people who are upset about the video? Everybody in Dahab is satisfied. What's more, a British film crew made a documentary about us, and interviewed the parents. At the end of your video, it looks like you're trying to get the two-week-old baby to walk. Is mobility the goal of your baby yoga? Yes, more mobility, and other goals. First off, more trained skills. Second, more freedom. Third, independence. We learn from nature and teach our offspring to survive. Come to Dahab; we'll be glad to show our classes and our children. What are your thoughts on baby swinging? Would you sign uyour baby up for a class? Story update: SFGate just received an email from Nathan Thornburgh who interviewed the baby swinger Lena Fokina. Thornburgh shared that he's from San Francisco and graduated from Lowell High School.

dari Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Oh, the baby swinger's in Dahab? That explains a lot. Dahab is a Bediun run "tourist town" in the Sinai Peninsula. I used to go there in 1989. They didn't have any "resorts" then, just little huts on the beach that you could stay in for about fifty cents a night. As a result of the backpacker tourists, they became the richest Bediuns in the world, constantly building new shacks and "restaurants." It's muslim, so alcohol's illegal, but each person can bring in two bottles, and then little children will come knock on your hut's door and try to trade giant bags of weed for the alcohol. (They once tried to confiscate my bottles at the border, saying that I didn't really count as a person since I was a woman, but I did in deed convince them that it really was my alcohol, or at least that no one would be taking it.) It's about a 2 hr taxi ride from the gulf of Eilat, but that only costs about $4-5 since gas is like 7 cents a gallon over there (it's part of Egypt.) I could see how they'd be 100% okay with a bunch of Russians and Europeans juggling their own babies, what the hell do they care? Anything goes in Dahab, except proper sanitation. One night, while walking down the beach, I stumbled upon what seemed to be some type of animal/livestock graveyard, except nothing was buried, just dumped by the ocean. When they have to choose their battles, it's the topless bathers that truly offend in the Sinai Peninsula, not baby jugglers and decomposing camels.
