well, if this guy did. His name is Rives, and he’s a spoken word artist, and he’s speaking to TED. Well, he’s speaking to you, and me, and momo, and that spammer in Nigeria, and that hacker in Turkey, and that troll in the comments section. Here is what the world would be like if Rives ran the internet. Improvement or devolution? WWAlGoreD?

is also the man who took this iconic photograph:
And there you have it; the devolution of civilization, right before our very eyes. As Jezebel says, Paris Hilton is the Kim Phuc of 2007. And Nick Ut is apparently the Cassandra.

In a move that simultaneously thrilled fans around the galaxy and opened up a new revenue stream for the aging actor, Jeremy Bulloch , the original Boba Fett, crashed the wedding of Rose Coe and Jonathan Wollack. Wollack, who was costumed as Boba Fett himself at the time, was a good sport about it, at least as far as we could tell under the helmet. From KnoxNews, via Fark.
When fiancee Rose Coe, dressed as Sarah from the movie “Labyrinth,” approached the altar, Wollack simply smiled. Even the gaggle of curious onlookers didn’t faze the soon-to-be husband.
Midway through the Louisville couple’s sci-fi/fantasy-themed wedding, everything changed.
Ordained minister Corey “Atim” Miller, dressed as an Imperial Officer, asked if there were any objections to the marriage. From the back of the crowd, another Boba Fett yelled, “Yes!” rushed to the stage and pushed Wollack aside.
Then, to the astonishment of Wollack and the loud cheering of Coe and the audience, the intruder lifted his helmet to reveal his true identity: Jeremy Bulloch, the actor who portrayed Boba Fett in some of the “Stars Wars” movies.
Bulloch was among the celebrities taking part in the nearby AdventureCon.
“That’s a really big deal,” Wollack said afterward, “at least to a ‘Star Wars’ fan.”
And yes, the guests were all costumed fans as well, so for once not just the bride but everyone was dressed as a virgin.
No surprises here, methinks.

You tell me. Presenting Pat and Mick, of whom I have never heard, performing their apparent non-hit I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet. Note omnipresent ambiguous, yet powerful, sexuality, along with the presence of two Robert Palmer dancers, a great number of apparently gay boys with great asses and pleated pants, and perhaps the most heinous unironic mullet I’ve ever seen. As one of the commenters said, “Looks like an Afghan Hound trying to have sex with a Geography Teacher.”
The only real competition for this title that I can see is this classic. We are strong, dammit, and we have fabulous accessories!
