Fembot For Blowjobs

This female robot was intentional designed to assist in dental training. However, with a mouth like hers, you might see this android at your favorite Sex Shop giving blowjobs for tokens. She even has a simulated gag reflex for lifelike deep throat action. Once again, thank you Japan.  

Writer Boi: a Hip Hop anthem

Every successful movement needs an anthem to rally supporters and build morale. The biggest fight against injustice of our time is, of course, the Writers strike. Unfortunately, John Lennon is dead. Cheer up Sadface, there’s a silver lining to this seemly bleak situation. What happens when a batch of super talented screen writers are sitting around on their laurels? A messiah is born… in the form of: Rapper.

Skippy’s Little Adventure

This is Skippy’s third little video adventure. Isn’t he the cutest? Watch him as he runs around his cage, eats his pellets, climbs on shoulders, and pushes hats on a table. All while listening to new live Radiohead music from thumbs_down. Now doesn’t that some like a hella good time?!

More Viacom ranting… this time by “Not The Daily Show”

In the past I’ve vented my anger with media conglomerate Viacom and their fascist approach to new media content. With the ongoing writer’s strike over internet revenues, it’s become painfully clear that companies like Viacom are unfairly taking advantage of the emerging virtual marketplace. As eyeballs shift away from traditional media toward new, unfamiliar territory, like youtube and cell phones, has created a fog of uncertainty and trepidation that allowed for exploitation by these major media giants. Clearity is finally being recovered and the Writer’s Guild wants a piece of the big internet revenue pie. We could smell it baking but Viacom keeps telling us there’s no food in the kitchen. Oh really Viacom? Then why are there crumbs all over your two face, bitch!?

Here’s an episode of “Not The Daily Show” from the picket line…

Jay-Z: Euros are the new bling bling

Is Jay-Z signaling a recession?
Submitted by Mark Olson on October 31, 2007 – 4:47pm.

There is something quite alarming on the recently released “Blue Magic” music video.

The song, by the wildly successful rap artist and businessman Jay-Z, is on an album of songs accompanying/inspired by the Ridley Scott movie “American Gangster,” starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crow.

But it wasn’t sex, drugs, violence or explicit language that shocked my conscience.

It was the Euros.

The Jay-Z video flashed large stacks of €500 Euros.

When I start seeing rap stars flashing euros instead of U.S. dollars, I know our economy is in trouble.

Jay-Z carries a lot of weight. Just look at what happened when he began boycotting Cristal champagne.

It’s sad that rap stars can no longer show their style with a good old $500 U.S. bills (featuring President McKinley) and now need to flash €500 Euros (featuring some sort of suspension bridge).

I don’t need the chairman of the Federal Reserve to tell me about the state of our economy. I just need Jay-Z, the new Alan Greenspan.

I don’t blame Jay-Z. A stack of €50,000 in Euros would equal $72,000 in U.S. currency. And you’d need 144 $500 bills to equal a stack of 100 €500 Euros. I don’t know if even Jay-Z has that large a money clip.

When I start seeing rap stars throw around the Canadian Loonie, then I know our economy is really in trouble.

Copyright and the future of creativity

As a podcast, new media producer, user generated content provider — however you want to label it — I’ve always felt driven to create a free alternative to the copyright controlled world of Big Media companies, such as Viacom. It has been my intent to entertain without selling anything more than a keyhole view of my life experiences or the vanity of my creative expression. I tend lean toward an ideology of open source culture. It is my belief that money is not the paramount motivational factor that drives an artist to create works of art. The contrary has been the argument of major media companies for the escalating inforcement and strengthing of copyright laws. They say musicians would stop playing music if pirates plundered away all their potential income. Then what of history’s “starving artists”? Why did Van Gogh continue to paint when he could barely afford bread? Why do rock bands continue their cross-country bar gigs in a rickety old van? So that one day the powerful star-makers might give them their lucky breaks; fame and fortune in the courts of the media kings. This is why Van Gogh cut his ear off. The madness of it all. Our culture has become the property of fat landlords and we the peasant serfs of copyright feudalism. Revolution is on the rise. The consumers now have the means of production at their fingertips. This is the modern battle between the proletariat and the bourgeois. Hopefully no blood will be shed. The future of creativity is now. Will it become a complete dystopia? Watch this presentation…
Larry Lessig: How creativity is being strangled by the law
http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/187

About this Talk

Larry Lessig gets TEDsters to their feet, whooping and whistling, following this elegant presentation of “three stories and an argument.” The Net’s most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the “ASCAP cartel” to build a case for creative freedom. He pins down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most hilarious remixes you’ve ever seen.
