What Jeff Killed

July 16th, 2007, 1 Comment »

I did a lot of housework this weekend, and thus caught up on a bunch of podcasts. I’m quite enjoying the CBC’s cultural magazine show, Q. They have this weekly web correspondent who reports on fun stuff from the Web. I’d heard of everything else he talked about with the exception of What Jeff Killed was new to me.

Welcome to What Jeff Killed, your authoritative source for news and information about Jeff The Giant Orange Cat and his favorite pastime: killing things.

Yeah, Jeff kills some big things. Some of those photos are particularly visceral.

I don’t think that web guy has his schtick quite sorted out. He sang the praises of Battle at Kruger, and even mentioned the 6.7 million people who’d seen it. He also mentioned ye olde Dramatic Chipmunk. Isn’t his job to find stuff on the web that people haven’t seen?

I saw some pretty amazing things (a whole schwack of photos) in Kruger National Park, and a nearby private game reserve (here comes the Flash!). We watched a pride of lions hunt and capture a badger, which was extraordinary.

It didn’t compare, however, to the eight minutes of video below. It’s certainly the most riveting thing I’ve ever seen on YouTube:

There’s also an amateur videography lesson in this piece. Don’t feel obligated to narrate the whole darn thing–just shoot it and remark on the most interesting bits. I think these people do a pretty good job of not sounding like doofuses (doofi?), which is tough when you witness extraordinary events.
