Kennt ihr Louis Theroux? Ja? Nein? NEIN??? Louis Theroux ist ein englischer Reporter welcher eine Vielzahl von hochinteressanten Reportagen macht dabei schafft er es durch seine lustig/nerdige art meist einen Haufen Informationen aus den Leuten zu holen.
Ich kann euch für den einstieg erstmal „louis and the Nazis“ entfehlen - in der Folge lebt Louis eine Zeit lang bei einer Nazi Familie…super spannend und extrem gut gemachte Dokus …!

I think I’ve seen almost all Louis Theroux documentary/weird weekend videos that the internet has to offer. I have to say, I wish we had something like this guy in America. The slightly awkward and boyish charm that makes Louis Theroux’s journalistic persona (whether forced or natural) provides for some great entertainment. His Weird Weekends documentary series is a hilarious and sometimes disturbing look into the lives of the strange.
Anyway, I just wanted to share some entertainment with GAF. I’ll post my own opinion as a 5-point review score - denoted by *'s. There’s a good chance you won’t agree with my scoring so watch them all!
The Most Hated Family In America: Probably the most well known of his documentaries and for good reason. About the Phelps church and how deluded human beings can become. ***** http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4413388146858417528
Louis and the Nazis: Another look at racism in middle America. Highlights include Louis being asked by a Nazi if he’s a jew. ***** http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6677939873081656077
Black Supremacists: Yeah, racism is a reoccurring theme. Cameo appearances by Al Sharpton and a group that swears that Vikings and Tom Jones are black. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4016172415001932955 ****
Louis Theroux Explores the Porn Industry: He meets up with some porn stars and even tries to venture in to the industry to work himself. Highlights include a straight porn star that does gay porno - really eye opening. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8247182854535488599 *****
Swingers: Someone made a thread about going to a swinger party. Here’s what you need to know: There are some ugly folks that go (host) to these things. Highlights include a jet black dildo on the wall. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=896097672888471651 ***
The Brothel: About a brothel in (or around…I forgot) Nevada. Highlights include a guy that pays prostitutes to pretend to be his girlfriend, but not have sex with him. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=844247729991384350 ****
Televangelists: Uh huh. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2174699430343389250 ***

Thai Brides: Creepy old guy who keeps getting married to Thai women runs a marriage agency. Highlights include some poor and dependent soul who depends on this service for his happiness. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4697755517057697649 ****
UFOs: The insane factor his high in this one. Highlights: A guy that calls himself Lord Commander of the Earth Protectorate who makes guns that can only shoot aliens and some old guy that channels some head alien from the planet Koldas. http://www.guba.com/watch/2000831812 ****
Body Building: Female mandibles that are too large to be female mandibles. Muscle-girl fetishists and some egotistical meathead fucktard. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3186044996544581363 ***

Vegas: If you want to feel good about your life, watch this. Gambling addicts losing tens of thousands of dollars. Louis tries and comes out in the positive, though. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8496651290175922534 ****
Michael Jackson: Louis’ quest to interview Michael Jackson. Highlights include asking Jackson’s dad how he’d feel if his son got a boyfriend. Oh, it’s painful. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1664061380165791250 ***

Jimmy Savile: Louis meets up with Jimmy Savile - an odd acting elderly British TV and radio star. It was voted in one of the top 50 documentaries of all time, but I suppose you have to be British to really appreciate it enough (or unless you’re familiar with Jimmy Savile). http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=176786372876365142
Anne Widdecombe: I’m watching this one right now. It’s about the English Conservative Party politician, Anne Widdecombe and what Theroux calls, her „unusual private life.“ I just started it, so I can’t put another useless sentence here to serve as personal input.

Hopefully when the new one about plastic surgery comes out, I’ll find a way to download it and host it, or if we’re really lucky, it’ll be on Google Video.
There are a couple I missed…I’ll put em up in a bit. They aren’t among the better ones, though. But for now, i’m fucking tired of typing.
Schade eigentlich.
