It’s Not Stealing When They Do It

Even the very best “beat the system” plan is going to need a little hardware.

Richard Branson, the billionaire, started out smuggling records into England. By the time he was arrested in 1971, he was rich enough to afford the fine. Now he’s got a knighthood and an airline. THIS COULD BE YOU!

But don’t think it’s easy to become a white-collar criminal. You need to be brave, clever, sneaky, and also have that initial startup capital. Like, if you were going to exploit the spirit of fair use by releasing a movie as hundreds of ten second clips (each sold separately) you’d want to first buy a JVC Everio HD Camcorder.

The JVC Everio HD Camcorder is very portable, meaning you can sneak it in places where one would normally not expect a camera to be. It’s also got an LED video light built right in, so dark places can be well lit. Use that 20x optical zoom and the Konica Minolta HD lens to make a 1920 x 1080 Full HD recording, and save all those ten second clips to a SD/SDHC Memory Card (not included) in one of the two card slots and pow! You’re ready to go!

If Branson can make an empire out of selling cut-outs from the back of his car, surely YOU can make millions using a JVC Everio HD Camcorder to collect the very latest fair-use blockbusters. Even better: what about releasing just the good parts? Imagine an hour-long collection of ten second clips with nothing but the explosions and the sex scenes. Hey, if Hollywood doesn’t care about a logical plot, why should you? Just be sure to charge a small “assembly fee” to cover the cost of your JVC Everio HD Camcorder and put a little bit aside each day.

After all, if you can cover the fine, you’re no longer a pirate. You’re a maverick businessman!

Television? Why would you want to buy a television?

The future is podcasting, friend.

Sure, you could get this refurbished Philips 22” 720p LCD HDTV if you need a giant paperweight or something. But unless you use the PC-input to hook it up to your computer (and you could definitely do that) you’re going to miss out on the real entertainment, like Never Not Funny.

What good is the 1366x768p HD LCD display if it’s not makin’ you laugh, right? Try using the Settings Assistant for that: try programming it to increase the amount of thought-provoking humor on TV. It’s not gonna happen. And yeah, the Digital Crystal Clear will give your images amazing depth and clarity in widescreen, but if it’s just some boring reality show who’s going to care? Not us.

Child Protection? Remote Control? Adjustable Screen Formats? Useless, all of it. About the only thing you’d actually use on this TV is the Sleep Timer, because if you’re not watching Jimmy Pardo you’re on a countdown until boredom knocks you unconscious anyway. What’s the alternative? Jay Leno making fun of small-town newspapers for their typos? At least Letterman- wait, what? Letterman does that bit TOO, now?! See? This is why I only watch podcasts.

You think you’ve got better options? It’s not like they’re bringing Conan back any time soon.

The bit is simple: juxtaposition panels from Bil Keane's interminably saccharine funny pages mainstay Family Circus with quotes from the putrid soup of humanity on MTV's Jersey Shore.

The results range from "worth looking at" to eliciting a genuine LOL. There's something to be said for tickling both our "people still read Family Circus?" and "How can anyone watch Jersey Shore?" bones simultaneously.

And that makes the decline of human civilization easier to swallow.

Don’t Hesitate

In the war between man and machine, there is no time for sentimentality.

“Stay sharp, Scout. This here’s Machine territory. Keep that laser rifle primed and ready for any GAH! Dang, that hurts.”

“Sir, are you going to make it? That wound looks pretty bad.”

“Nonsense. I’m fine. Just stings really good, you hear me?”

“It looks like you’re losing a lot of blood, though.”

“I said I’m fine, Scout. In my time against the mechanical menace, I’ve had worse, I assure you. You just worry about what’s out there. It’s just a couple more miles to the Outpost and I don’t want…”

scoot scoot scoot scoot

“Sir? Sir, I think I hear something.”

“I hear it, too. Over there. Look! It’s… It’s…”

“Aww. It’s an iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot! Why, I used to have one just like it before humanity fell to the steel tyrants! Hey there, little guy!”

“Scout, you idiot! Don’t you see? That’s not the same award-winning floor washing robot that used to remove 98% of common household bacteria from your hardwood, tile, and linoleum floors with the touch of a button. That thing is a killer, cold, calculating, and reprogrammed to be a death machine.”

“No way, sir. Not this little wonder. Not even the Robot Hive-Mind could make these things evil. Mine was such a good little ‘bot. I remember the cute way it would scoot around during its 4-stage cleaning process. Did you know one full tank of cleaning solution could wash up to 250 square feet? Gosh, I miss those days. Maybe this little Scooba is just hiding out from the bad ‘bots!”

“They’re all bad ‘bots now, Scout. All but the dead ones.”

“Hey, what’s he got there? Why, it’s a coupon for discounted bonus enzyme liquid for cleaning floors with. Awww. Sir, if there’s a more beautiful phrase in the English language than ‘discounted bonus enzyme liquid", I’ve never heard it. How could a friendly little ‘bot like that mean any harm?”

“Scout, don’t you get any closer to that thing unless you’re prepared to destroy it. That world where Scooba’s and Roomba’s would clean for humans is over! You don’t know what it’s equipped with now!”

“Probably the same cliff sensing technology that helped it avoid stairs and ledges! See, look! He likes me! Don’t be scared, little buddy. We’ll help you escAAAAGHH! MY EYES! IT JUST SPRAYED ACID INTO MY EYES! OH GOD IT’S SQUEEGEE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY RAZOR BLADES AND THEY’RE TEARING THE FLESH FROM MY BODY! HELP ME, SARGE!”

“I’m coming, Scout! I’m… what’s this? It… it’s a horde of ‘em! Thousands! You fool! You’ve doomed us both!”

I understand now that my mistake was running that debt up in pursuit of something frivolous like an education. If I'd done it by buying big-screen TVs and jet skis and Xboxes on a credit card, I could discharge the debt in bankruptcy and skip away scot-free. Plus I'd have a bunch of awesome stuff.

Like Tetris crossed with Tempest, Brick Hole has you stacking shapes in a gravity well that… ah, c'mon, you know what you're doing by now. Line 'em up, make 'em vanish, blah blah blah. The new angle should make it more challenging. Good luck!

Or your company headquarters, whichever you prefer. More after the jump.

Yes, The Wilderness Downtown is a pretty song, and for people who haven't been home in years, it might be a fun but complex way to look up the ol' homestead on Google Maps. But, of course, that's not the point. The point is to grab you and embed you in a video specifically made for YOU. Exciting, right? Don't you feel cutting edge? Look at how artistically these pop-ups cover the screen!

If you're too young to have enjoyed the life-changing experience of Jump and Revolution X, watching The Wilderness Downtown might be YOUR generation's chance to finally become immersed in the hot water that is gimmick technology, ultimately becoming a great and joyful web-based tea. And then, next year, when they quietly let the domain expire because no one's watching this difficult video any more, you can say you were on board at the beginning. Remember to make a digital postcard as proof you understand what it means to feel. Here's ours:

Basically, The Wilderness Downtown will let anyone be a hipster for a day. Except for IE 6 users. Sorry, you guys. Just keep on listening to half the Who.

Thanks to Texas hipster agingdragqueen for the tip!

An Old Joke

Man walks into a bar. Orders an Epson Workforce 600 Wireless AIO Printer soup.

Waiter sets it down and walks away. Man yells out “Waiter! Waiter!” Waiter comes over and says “Yes, sir? Is something wrong with your 5-in-1 printing, copying, scanning, photowork and faxing?”

Man says “Taste this Epson Workforce 600 Wireless AIO Printer soup.”

Waiter says “Oh, maybe you don’t like the flavor of the built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet to work? Is that the problem? I could have the chef make you something else if you’d like.”

Man says “Just taste this Epson Workforce 600 Wireless AIO Printer soup.”

Waiter says “Is it the way it uses three times less power than a laser printer? Maybe you’d like something that guzzles down more power and raised your bill?”

Man says “Taste the Epson Workforce 600 Wireless AIO Printer soup.”

Waiter says “Oh, could it be the built-in memory card slots? I know some people don’t like built-in memory card slots. Or maybe it’s the 2.5 inch LCD screen. Tell you what, I could just take it back and get the chef to fish those out for you and-”

Man interrupts. “No!” It’s not the built-in memory card or the power footprint or the Wi-Fi or the Ethernet or the 5-in-1 capabilities or any of the other features! Just please, taste this Epson Workforce 600 Wireless AIO Printer soup!”

So the waiter gives up and says he’ll taste the soup. He reaches down, looks around, and then turns the the man and says “Where’s the spoon?”

And the man says “Aha!”

Except instead of a spoon, it’s a USB cable. Sorry about that.
