Interesting, I should have kept up with that after I posted it. Admittedly, I was just going for the easy shot at people who seem to think the world is dying around them like some fucked up version of the Midas touch, but fair enough, I should have checked anyway.
Also, I've been to Beechworth. Nice town, but so dull that I can understand why they've kept telegrams there, it's so that people have something to fucking do other than sit around waiting to die.
This is terrible and evil and inhuman and no one should do it and I'm considering doing it.
I've been thinking about that for a while. The thing to do would be to set up some sort of script that would take that video and randomly create different copies at various lengths and filesizes, and combine that with some sort of CP file name generator (if such a thing exists), and upload them all to various different places over lots of different proxies. Spam the NSA basically. And it would be all legal too if you did it right. Unfortunately I have neither the motivation or technical know-how to setup such a thing.
Are we supposed to be okay with it because its old?
I'll respond with a rhetorical question: "Is posting a comic like the one you did on a board filled with people who are on your side going to get them to stop?"
I can't remember what celebrity it was but they were upset about the Xbox One's online policies and tweeted something about it. A few hours later she was posting about how much she liked it, but it sounded so fake. I assume it was something similar where her manager was like yo they're paying you to talk about how good it is.
No matter how good someone is at beatboxing, I can't get past the fact that as an art form it hasn't progressed past the demonstration stage. In maybe 20 years it'll be mature enough for the skill itself not to have to overwhelm everything else about the performance.
As I was writing this, my girlfriend interrupted me to tell me same thing. "He starts with all of his techniques, and then remembers to be entertaining later."
Which is true. No guitar player starts EVERY gig with a straight demonstration of all their hardest and fastest techniques. NO, they get on with connecting with the audience emotionally first.

It was pretty sweet.
Video not mine, but this was better than my view.

Please, don't act like the US government spying on its citizens is a new thing.
Amazing control.
