We've thought for a while now that the popular game "Rock, Paper, Scissors" needed a serious update -- but now that a big, muscly German man is bringing it up, we somehow feel more entitled.

We get it: rock crushes scissors, scissors cut paper and paper kills rock...wait, what? How is paper stronger than rock?! Is there something we're missing? Doesn't seem like it. So it sounds like it's time for a little addendum.

Well, Flula -- a German DJ who now lives in Los Angeles -- has a plan and he wants to share it with you. Listen to his hilarious speech about the current game and his idea to transform it to something much more exciting.

Are you down to change "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to something more appropriate?

    But that clip was funny.
    The question made me think of this scene in Big Bang Theory.

    Rock crushes scissors no longer useful, siccors cuts paper okay its now 2 sheets of paper no longer one, paper over rock there is no stuctural damage done to rock; if anything paper gets cut by rock

    rock crushes scissor, scissor cuts paper, paper wraps around rock and suffercates it. >.<'' and if thats too dull then theres always this game: rock = punch. Scissors= double eye poke. paper = slap. the loser gets hit by the chosen method of his aponent. ....

    Definitely not, just because it's tradition and there's no reason to change it, that's dumb, but his argument WAS hilarious. Lol his accent just made it, it was perfect. But rock, paper, scissors-- there's no way that should change.

    Why change it?? And, for your information it's "Rock, paper, scissors, shoot." So you can also, have the option of shooting which beats: rock, and paper. The reason it doesn't beat paper is because the "bullet" goes through the scissor's finger holes.

    If you change paper to dynamite then the whole game will be screwed. Dynamite explodes rock, paper, and scissors. So. . . expect everyone to always put dynamite -- forever a tie. I agree to change the game just to make it more interesting, but as someone has already stated, "If its not broken, don't fix it."

    That's a genius idea, but the game is still messed-up. If scissors can cut both the paper and the dynamite fuse then everyone will always put scissors -- eternal tie!

    how about we do it like this? if i choose paper and you choose rock i get to slap you. (paper=slap)
    if i still choose paper and you choose scissor then you get to double eye-poke me (im or some thing...)
    ig i choose scissors and you choose rock, then you get to punch me.
    whatcha say?

    I agree, but I still do not hold with the views of the anti-government crowd. Government had done more to keep ordinary Americans from being taken advantage of by Big Business (especially pre-Regan), than any of the Republican supported de-regulation and Corporate tax cuts that have caused this oppression of the American people, not to mention that of the rest of the World. Government is NOT the problem, Corporate greed is!
  • Muver findthe... 2011/10/17 19:54:50

    Of course not, I do not believe that was implied, somehow that is what you saw.....but there is no denying that some fraction of the government on any given day, does want to tell us how
    to function in situations they should not be involved in at all......

    I may have misunderstood your meaning, if so, I am sorry, and please forgive me.

    I have a short temper lately due to the Tea Partiers "anti-government" movement, which they attribute to "Big Government liberalism" which is not at all true. The "Big Government" regulations that they say they hate so much are there to protect the ordinary American citizen. The ones that Regan got rid of included the ones that would have protected the world from the now infamous "too-big-to-fail", job-killing, Mega-Corporations. That, tax cuts and loopholes for Corporates, and two unfunded wars (as no war was ever fought without raising taxes to fund it), and not properly regulating banks on the affordable mortgage project (which was supposed to provide smaller payments at a lower finance charge, over a longer period of time), are what put us into this economic catastrophe to begin with.

    The kind of "Big Government" that should be bothering them is the kind that is doing all they can to pass "voter suppression" laws that would cause it to become more difficult for large blocks of Democratic voters (students, the elderly, the poor, urban city poor) from voting. The kind of "Big Government" that takes away freedom and equality from Americans considered by some of the "inhumane" to be "sub-human". T...

The kind of "Big Government" that tells a woman that she has no right to her own body.

    The way I see it, the Government, regardless of which party is "in" for 4 years, is going to always not be good for some, or the reverse. The problem I have is with them being way to involved in way to many aspects of anybody's life. I am referring to not only National Government but State and Local governments as well. We are all just becoming a nation of sheep it seems lately. We roll over for every group that is offended by something or the other that has, since the beginning of this country been the things that, for the most part, made this country great. Someone or some group is always wanting to stomp out the good and most needed, but on the other hand have no problem giving everything we all have worked hard for and earned, to people and groups that have never done one thing for this country in any shape or form, but seem to think they deserve it, whether they are natural born citizens or infiltrators to this society. And, I personally do not support or will not tolerate these newer fractions coming to this country who want to change us to their ilk, or kill all of us because we do not. And as I see it, much of the Government is going along with it. Shame on them. Now, I am starting to see Muslim approved foods appearing on the grocery shelves of Wal Mart (who by the...

Now, I am starting to see Muslim approved foods appearing on the grocery shelves of Wal Mart (who by the way keeps China in the black, and our country starving for manufacturing jobs) and Costco. Excuse me, let them open their own friggin grocery stores, like many other cultures have done, so they are assured of the products they prefer. But no, they want to come into grocery and other stores and make sure their products are there as well......Would this type of convenience be awarded any of our numbers of people if we moved into their country...Hell No....and it should not be happening here.....like it or not, there have and always will be cultural clashes, which if left alone, will be worked out by we humans, we do not need any fraction of Big Brother telling us what to do, or how to function on the majority of things. Bad things, child abuse, abuse of women, bullying, etc. will take care of themselves thru the works of people who do stick their heads in the sand, but that take on responsibilty for change themselves. My point is that all sections of Government wants to stick their noses in every one else's business and tell us how to function, but they are the most corrupt and less ability to mange themselves, let alone the rest of us.

    I see there is no use arguing with you. Your mind is made up to think in a prejudiced manner, and it is counter-productive to your real needs. It's a shame, now that we know that the Corporate fat cats are the real evils of this world. That so many of you have allowed your minds to be conditioned into a pro-corporate mindset through subjecting yourself to corporate-led conservative media outlets, that you are incapable of knowing what is good for you from what is bad.

    May you enjoy your personal "American Dream" of poverty.

    PS: Something you should know about "cut taxes on the corporates and the rich, and deregulate" (what we have seen over the past 30 years) -
    the rich oppressing the poor

    Well, you have fun with "Share the wealth" attitudes, and enjoy having to pay more for your Social Security than I do, when you reach 65. You will also apparently enjoy paying more for "supplemental Insurance" which you will need to cover the more than 20% that Medicare does not cover, Oh, and hopefully you will not need
    much medicine on a daily basis, some of which there is no generic brand for, and cost over $100.00 for one month, and that is just for ONE pill, 'cause you will need a supplemental prescription plan for that as well. In case you did not know, when you turn 65, there is no other type of insurance available on a personal level, and many group plans (if you are still working for a business, if you do, that still offers it, because they can afford to. (ie, "big Corporate Fat Cats" ) don't count on still getting it without having to pay. Now, the way around all of this is to be sure that when it is time for Medicare, be sure you make less than 20,000.00 a year including any other income you might receive, for roughly $40 or $50 a month, which will be more by the time you get there, you get government insurance, with dental.
