My Super Squealing Shitcake Friends
Charlie Brooker takes on the ‘rich and tiny sods’ of My Super Sweet 16 with the vengeance and voracity of Romney on bin Laden.
I appreciate getting the outside perspective on things we’ve come to accept in America without much reflection. Louis Theroux is great at it, for instance.

Yngwie Shreds (and now he’s pissed)
Worth watching for the trick he does with his guitar strap and the thunderous applause it doesn’t get, this is the clip that allegedly got StSanders disinvited from YouTube.

This small software and hardware design company gives me one of the cooler UI experiences I’ve had on the web recently.
Turn on Fullscreen. Go to Projects. Drag the 2-dimensional windows around in pseudo-3D space.
ABC on Buttocks: Excretory, Yes. Sexual, No.
In Long-since Forgotten Nude Buttock news, the FCC has just fined ABC stations $1.4 million for depicting two nude buttocks of an adult female person on a 2003 episode of its cop drama NYPD Blue.
The [FCC] said the show was indecent because “it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs — specifically an adult woman’s buttocks.”
The agency rejected the network’s argument that “the buttocks are not a sexual organ.”
An episode from 2003?! Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer David Caruso’s career! (Nailed it.)

Ozzy claps along no more
In a huge blow to parodists and fair users everywhere, YouTube has complied with a request to permanently disable the account of StStanders, Master of the Hilarious Musical Re-dub, creator of the popular ‘Shreds’ series. For those familiar with StSanders, this will go down in history as The Day the Horribly-Rerecorded Music Died.
UPDATE: You can view some of the St’s masterworks at Buzzfeed. Catch ‘em quick.

Learning in 1999 A.D. (1967)
Lessons are programmed into the home computer and fed into teaching machines, which allow him to progress as rapidly as his awakening mind can absorb the audio-visual lessons.
It’s fun to see how futurists of 1967 imagined it would take many separate machines to accomplish the teaching tasks that can now be accomplished with one CD-ROM. It’s also fun to see that machines of the retro-future can belittle a child every bit as efficiently as a human teacher can.
