English Copyright Ruling Proclaims Ownership of The *Idea* Of A Photo. Brain Hurts.
Do you know what the copyright of an image is? Generally I assume it’s the actual fucking photo. I also don’t know anything about law. So there’s that. Even with my admittedly neophyte understanding of copyright law, I still find this ruling by an English copyright House of Something or Whatever to be a bit wonky.
Julian Assange to host Wikileaks TV Show On Kremlin-Funded Cable Network. Wait, WUT.
Truth Warrior Julian Assange is getting himself a TV show. What a valiant warrior of transparency! God only knows what he will be able to do with this venue! Wait, wut. It’s being funded by the fucking Kremlin? Hilarious.
Get your own ‘GUTS’ Aggro Crag trophy for $1,500? Childhood nods yes.
One of my greatest disappointments in this life is that I never got the opportunity to dominate one of this competitive games on Nick back in the day. I was always a Double Dare man, but fuck I would have settled for GUTS. One such dominator is looking – Christ Be Still – to sell his token of accomplishment.
Video: ‘Moves Like Batman’ Is Maroon 5 Parody That Justifies Levine’s Existence.
I’m not saying the only reason I would have watched The Voice is to see one of the mechanical chairs malfunction, catch fire, and morph into a cyborg that gnash Adam Levine into muck and bone marrow, but that’s the only reason I would have watched it. So while I generally loathe Adam Levine and Maroon 5, I can get behind this parody.
Gaming Industry Spent $190,000 Pushing For Senate Version of SOPA Last Summer. Bastiches.
The US Senate has its own version of the infernal SOPA bill, called PIPA. Last summer the gaming industry spent a considerable amount of money pushing to get the goddamn thing passed.
Monday Morning Commute: Peepuhlz of Erph
Hey there!
How’s it going? If you’re a citizen of the Empire like I am, then chances’re that you might have the day off of work for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. I’d like to think that I’m going to spend the day contemplating the racial disparity that’s marred the history of the United States. Perhaps I could even set aside some time to figure out a way to try to oppose the inequality that lingers to this day.
But the fact is that I’m more apt to sleep in late, eat pizza, and straight-chill.
Hey! Don’t judge me! I’m just bein’ honest! If you know something I can do to help the world, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. But if nothing else, I’ll probably figure out some nerdy way to empathize with racial tensions.
Okay, okay – thissere’s the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! I’m going to show you the different bits of entertainment I’ll be using to assemble my own anti-stress mech. After you check out the ways I’m going to entertain myself through the workweek, your task is to hit up the comments section and show off your own wares. Yes, this is essentially show-and-tell, minus the rules and kindergarten teacher who was probably hot back in the 1970s but is now a crabby old bitch.
Let’s rock.
Video: Darth Vader Hangin’ Out In Women’s Rest Rooms
Listen!, are you really surprised that Darth Vader is doing Korean commercials? Do you have any idea how shitty government pay is? Especially when it’s the Emperor who decides raises? Dude has to make some cash on the side.
Video: Duncan Jones Does Ad For ‘Virgin Money’. Uh, Okay?
Duncan Jones. Talented dude behind Moon and Source Code. Filling out his resume (er, pockets) with this new ad for Virgin Money. Whatever. It’s sort of swanky, and at least it isn’t that awful Aronofsky Revlon ad.
Video: ‘Skyrim’ Mod Replaces Dragons With Macho Man. The Legend Lives!
Much like a dragons, Macho Man Randy Savage has faded into myth. Much like dragons, it has been written (by no one save for me, maybe) that he will live again! Now he does in a pretty ridiculous Skyrim mod.
