the terrorists are coding! the terrorists are coding!

Terrorists are now subverting America‘s peacetime tools and transforming them into traitors. Boingboing reports that they are inserting mysterious code into US government geodatabases in a shocking subliminal PR war against all that is right and good about America.

I found a bizarre data on an official USGS database. It points to a place on Minnesota and the text says:

‘Tell Him I Blame Him for the Children We Have Lost…’ Aish-Ke-Vo-Go-Zhe

This, it turns out, is nothing less than a shocking technological attack on the government of the United States of the Land of the Free Until Remanded and the Home of the Grave of Democracy. It seems the particular geological spot referenced by that line in the database is the spot where Aish-Ke-Vo-Go-Zhe, Native American terrorist, died.

To remember those who perished at Sandy Lake during a failed attempt to remove Ojibwe bands from Wisconsin and Michigan in 1850, GLIFWC sponsors annual ceremonies at the Sandy Lake site near McGregor, Minnesota…

“Tell him I blame him for the children we have lost, for the sickness we have suffered, and for the hunger we have endured. The fault rests on his shoulders.”
—Flat Mouth, [also known as Aish-Ke-Vo-Go-Zhe] Leech Lake Ojibwe speaking of Territorial Governor Alexander Ramsey

Be ever vigilant.

YouTube kills Colbert Report, Daily Show, South Park: a nation mourns

Posted on October 28, 2006 by raincoaster

silence. Silence, you fools. They Killed Kenny Who am I kidding? I live in CANADA and I’m mourning.

They killed Kenny.

It’s true. Newscloud (via Boingboing) reports that the worst has happened. Civilian observers in the war against big media report 15256 casualties as a result of Comedy Central’s strike against YouTube.

2546 of the dead are Daily Shows
2038 are Colbert Reports
and, in a stunning slaughter unmatched since Israel’s strike on Lebanon, a staggering 10672 of the losses came from the small community of South Park.

now, the report from the front lines:

…a third party (probably attorneys for Comedy Central) had made a DMCA request to take down Colbert Report and Daily Show clips. If you visit YouTube, all Daily Show, Colbert Report and South Park clips now show “This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.”

For a long time, Comedy Central has passively allowed the sharing of online clips of its shows—because let’s face it, it’s helped them generate the kind of water cooler talk that has made them a ton of money.

Even Stevphens, we hardly knew ye. (oopsie, this one’s still kicking: watch it while you can)

Brian Atene, Bad Audition Boy and the reason YouTube exists

Posted on October 27, 2006 by raincoaster

Yep: to make sure we can never, ever live down our most embarassing moments. Here’s what Defamer has to say about this four minute and thirty-two second glimpse straight down the gaping, gibbering maw of Hell itself.

Please, Stanley Kubrick has cast weirder

In 1984, or so the YouTube blurb legend goes, the late, great Stanley Kubrick “placed ads throughout the U.S. for young aspiring actors to send in audition tapes” for his upcoming project, Full Metal Jacket. Whether or not the director ever saw this submission–and we think the less we tell you about it the better–we cannot say.

I can say, though, and I say that if he had seen it, he’d have died right then and there.

Brace yourselves; he went to Juilliard. But then, so did Robin Williams, and I bet he’d make a more plausible Outsider.

There is also an hilarious new video which claims to be the 2006 Brian Atene, also addressing Mister Kubrick (Mister CUE-Brick!) and re-enacting a scene from Full Metal Jacket. It must be seen to be believed: Me so hoooooorny! Me love you longtime!
