Using GIFrun for the first time, it was quite easy use create the GIF by adjusting the start time, the amount of time, and the size of the text. From now on I will definitely be using GIFrun if possible. I got my inspiration for this GIF from Rachel, who chose an outrageous, odd group of people (cannibalists) which in reality is not a true group. This led me to do a dive into some of the weirdest cultural traditions around the world. Among the traditions I found the festival of piercings in India, the dancing of the dead in the Madagascar, and again in India the tossing of babies. It is thought that dropping these toddlers from anywhere between 20-30 feet up and into a blanket to catch them would give them good luck in their lives. Human rights activists have fought this tradition and to my own knowledge have managed to stop it. The reality of it all is that some children end up being negatively affected, and scarred by this moment in their life. I personally have never seen the move “The Big Lebowski” but after seeing the short clip I think it would be a very funny movie and I’d like to watch it now.
