Patriot has encounter with socialist ceiling fan.

[47of74]

Ouch.

One man’s “stand for freedom” ended disastrously when he forgot to look up. YouTuber “Latherland” uploaded a clip on Thursday that shows a man attempting to make a patriotic, inspiring video that will convince the world to stand up to the tyrannical United States government.

“You know what?” the unidentified man says in front of a backdrop of a whirring ceiling fan. “It’s about time our people took a stand for freedom.”

Inspiring. The gentleman emphasizes his point by standing up on his bed, but apparently forgets the fan buzzing above him.

Here's the video, in all its glory....

1. I'm usually not fond of injury as entertainment, and I'm a little ashamed of myself right now.

But that was fucking funny.

[postulater]

9. That was my first reaction also.

[Hoppy]

12. Its funny until someone gets hurt.......

Then its hilarious.

[nichomachus]

28. It's not an "injury."

It's not more injurious -- probably less so - than stubbing your toe or getting a paper cut. I've been whacked by ceiling fans a few times -- mostly on the wrist while putting a shirt on. It smarts for a few seconds, but it's not dangerous.

29. It sure as hell was.

47. The funniest accident video on the internet _ no one harmed. Not political

2. "Patridiot"

[valerief]

30. That word's a keeper!

[malaise]

40. You win the thread

[mountain grammy]

3. Watched this while drinking coffee..

[47of74]

15. Get coffee on your device?

Sorry.

[2naSalit]

4. I had to

watch it twice.

[Liberal_in_LA]

46. Me too. Solid thunks on the head

[2naSalit]

48. Along with a good sized

patch of hair missing on the side of his head.

I must confess that I had the volume off but it was still entertaining.

[A HERETIC I AM]

5. The real question is.....

How did that video get posted anyway?

Any normal person would have hit the delete button straight away!

[saturnsring]

6. my thoughts exactly .. nt

[Hoppy]

13. Simple: he wanted you to see the sacrifice he made for your freedom.

--- and I bet you don't even appreciate it.

[47of74]

16. Unless he was under the influence?

[sakabatou]

39. Wanted viewership?

[denbot]

7. The sound of freedumb..

Sounds surprisingly like the sounds of empty coconuts.

[kentauros]

25. Now that made me laugh

I didn't necessarily like seeing him get hurt, but the sound of the blade hitting his head did sound like it hit a coconut

[hatrack]

8. THANKS, OBAMA!!!

[Rex]

10. Typical moron that pretends to care about this country and has no attention span.

He is a product of what gets raised in this country. Stupid, inconsiderate and full of shit. Cuz freedumbs are the most important things next to guns and god!

[DrewFlorida]

11. That was funny, thanks for the laugh!

[dembotoz]

14. kick

[JHB]

17. Fail in concept, fail in execution, fail in follow-through

1) If you're going for "dramatic backlighting, CLOSE THE DOOR or TURN OFF THE LIGHT IN THE OTHER ROOM! But I suppose Mommy and Daddy might object to having their lights go out.

2) FAN!

3) And he put it online anyway.

He may stand for "patriotism", but he sure doesn't stand for quality and useful effort.

[Mendocino]

18. Too little blood

in his alcohol system. Did you notice the dark object flying off after the strike? I think it was a chunk of scalp and hair.

[Ed Suspicious]

51. I thought that too for a second. Then I thought about the clods of dust on mine.

[msanthrope]

19. I laughed until I had to go pee. Nt

[yuiyoshida]

50. me too

[Glassunion]

20. I think this is staged...

His other videos he spoofs "patriots"

[47of74]

21. Not entirely sure the uploader and the fan guy are the same individuals though.

[Egnever]

38. Me too

just didn't look like a natural reaction to me.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. Sancho Panza did you no service in this fight, mi amigo!

[gratuitous]

23. How does something like this get posted to the internet?

I'd have erased it as soon as I could reach the "format" function button.

[47of74]

27. Maybe he was live streaming it

[RandiFan1290]

24. Tarpaulins!!

[Bohemianwriter]

26. Socialism 1 - Patriotism 0

[wendylaroux]

31. damn,that sounded like it hurt.

[matt819]

32. And why would the moran then post it? (nt)

[icymist]

41. I'm amazed that he actually put it on youtube as well.

Here everybody, look at this video of me being an idiot. Yup!

[dmr]

33. Standing on your comfy bed is a sign of freedom?

He deserved a fan wack for that ridiculous idea.

He's young, he oughta visit Uncle Sam's recruiters for advice.

[47of74]

34. They'd probably wanna have his head examined

And not just for wounds from that fan whack either.

[dmr]

35. Yes, that's what I'm thinking.

Unless he grows up, he'd be a danger to our troops.

[jmowreader]

43. They already did

It's free of broken bones, blood clots and brains.

[ProfessorGAC]

52. Oh, That's Not Fair!

The air filling the void space is something! So, it's not like it's completely empty up there.

[KamaAina]

36. As a tall guy, I always wondered what would happen if I got clocked by one of those things.

Now I know.

[47of74]

37. Yeah I nearly had a head on, so to speak, collision with a fan before.

It was at my uncle's house in Louisiana. The way the ceiling fan was mounted I had to remember to duck a bit in his living room after not having been in his place in a few years complete with intervening growth spurt.

At my sister's place I've had a few collisions with a low hanging light fixture, it was in the breakfast nook and they didn't have a table there anymore. Ouch.

[Oneironaut]

42. Cringe comp fodder

[mike dub]

44. Jackasses and machinery do not a good match make. LOL

Nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

45. Heh heh heh

[2naSalit]

49. Now that's what I call a "Dope Slap"!!

[IDemo]

53. Hoping he's not a fan of helicopters n/t

[47of74]

54. Yeah no kidding.

That would not end well.
