Yep, tonight during LOST's opening sequence, that was indeed a copy of our beloved, alternate-reality-chomping PKD'sVALIS that John Locke gave to the his prisoner Benjamin Linus. And from Ben's own library to boot.
Now it all makes sense!
No idea how Ben's PKD collection measures up, but don't forget, we're still taking entries for the KING FELIX of Show Us Your Dick Contest. We've had some long, hard unbelievably unadulterated entries. Lay it all out, grab your digital camera and submit your's now!
Updates with pictures on the big long PKD contest soon!
After having been removed from YouTube by a complaint from Billy Joel that the parody lyrics were better than his original "We Didn't Start the Fire", "Here Comes Another Bubble" Web 2.0 commentary sing-a-long has re-appeared on the video service site. Initial rumors had placed the blame of the video's demise on those Google closet-furries, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, which I'd still like to believe was true.
The video is the lovechild of San Francisco Bay Area The Richter Scales, a looney bunch of "men who sing." The video viciously makes fun of the current reality of Web 2.0 business plans and VC drunk sailorness. To stem off removal requests, they've graciously provided credits and reacknowledgments for "Bubble".
And, as if by some cross-marketing magic, FRIENDSHIP-BRACLETS-AND-NEWS.COM has manifested itself as well. Sign-up for your account now before it starts making money!
Egads! You guys (Writers Guild of America) do really, actually, suck. I mean, this is your moment to use your mad "writing" skillz to promote your cause and this is the best you can do.
At least with the Brits, we get some witty entertainment.
And while we're on the subject, if you want to bring the television and movie going public to your side, here's what you do. Now remember, I'm not a writer. I'm not a WGA member. I'm a media consumer.
You take the top 30 movie and television scenes of all time, edit them together one after the other. But instead of the crucial dialogue for each scene, you have chincy elevator music. No dialogue would be impactful even though the audience knows every line and every sentence. But we, the audience, are left holding the proverbial bag. Hey, I get that.
No, let's rip off Star Wars. Let's hold up George "Howard the Duck/Phantom Menance" Lucas as an example of what we mean when we say, you need talented writers. You need the WGA.
Good grief! You people don't deserve a penny more.
