kill the wabbit: the heavy metal version

Not much going on visually in this vid, but then if you’re really getting into the spirit of the thing what would you care/how would you know, because of course you’d be headbanging yourself and unable to focus, let alone read. It’s neither Metallica nor Megadeth, it’s some band you never heard of; their lead singer sounds like Elmer Fudd, so is it any wonder you’ve never heard of them? He’s Ozzy Fudd, Mark McCollum, if you must know.

From the Department of Useless Trivia, which is, naturellement, the most crucial department in the whole of raincoasterbloglandia, comes the stunning news that the great Loony Tune known as “What’s Opera, Doc” is fifty ears years old this week.

reddit headerUnless the “IAUP VIOLATOR” title is one they wear proudly.

Test it yourself: go to reddit.com and look at the header image. Instead of its usual friendly, literate alien, you’ve got a couple of incestuous-looking aliens with some rather emphatic text above them. IAUP, by the way, stands for Internet Acceptable Use Policy. The hacked image is meant to imply that reddit does not abide by basic internet standards.

Is anyone taking credit for this yet? Leave your breadcrumbs in the comments section, please!

UPDATE: reddit be not hackt. Reddit be self-mocking. This is an improvement; now if we could only get them to stop lol-ing and get fixing things.

Co-opted, or Co-mmando?

Sometimes it can be hard to tell the change agents from the uncle toms. Like with Squiddy here…
