    Cee-Lo has released an official video for "Fuck You" and it is wonderful.

    Maybe this is just me. But look at this new mural by Blu:



    Now, it's awesome, but what does this look like it's representing? A circle jerk of pickpockets, yeah? So how does this article title make sense? Would you come to this conclusion? Does that make any sense?

    sigh.

    @Brendan That made it even that much more better!!!!

    @Rachael Maybe they are doing both. Greed is what I see.

    This....


    ...is the Earth from space in time lapse.

    The really cool video is not You Tube so You'll have to visit Gizmodo to see it. I highly recommend this.

    Also, chip-tune band Anamanaguchi is releasing new singles every 2 weeks for free download. This may have been mentioned before. But this RAC remix with Paul Robertson art is a must see/hear.

    @ groonk - that hurts my eyes. The goggles! They do nothing!

    And now, a scene from The Future :

    "Hey, what's on tv tonight?"
    "That stupid Sandman show."
    "That show sucks."

    Yep. Read it and weep.

    @Brendan
    i don't dig it. I thought the typography vid was wonderful. this one just looks like a generic soulless major label pop promo.
    and as fun as that song is at the moment you know is going to be the most annoying song ever once the public get hold of it.

    @rachael
    I didn't see pickpockets. the suits they were wearing took me to the same conclusion as the article.

    Walking Dead has been picked up for a second seasons before the first even airs.

    @ian - If you think the bridge is generic and soulless, then you and I are watching two different videos. And the song is already huge, from what I can tell. Fucking NPR did a piece on it. If you want to be annoyed by it, go ahead. I'm going to continue listening to it an enjoying both videos, thanks.

    @rachael - I am also mystified. Maybe it's a little Rorschach-esque in that people see what they want to see in it? I mean, with the amount of spin that goes onto the same news from two different sources, it doesn't take a huge stretch to see what the article suggests. I don't really think that's what the mural is "about," but I can see how other people could see it that way.

    @Vornaskotti - Warren mentioned that on the website last week. Not that anyone reads his website.

    To actually contribute:

    I had no idea there's a whole pile of weird CG fractal art on Youtube. Check this out (on HD, preferably):



    It just keeps going... and going...

    I read this...
    Speaking of hysterical conservatives...I dare you to read this piece of "fair and balanced" journalism from Fox News: John Cusack Calls for 'Satanic Death' of Fox News, GOP Leaders

    And then I read this...
    @Internaut

    He's dead now and I wonder how long it will be until Fox News goes, "CRAZY LIBERALS OUT TO KILL US ALL OMGWTFBBQ!"


    So my next thought was "John Cusack is dead?"

    @Rickie ...and going ...and going

    @Rachael I saw it exactly the same as you - each man robbing the next as metaphor for global capital flow. Obv. my own viewpoint may have been skewed by the 5 years I worked for a (now all-but-nationalised) bank...

    @Rachael again - Thought you might like these:

    @Internaut - God dammit. I knew if I kept being a smug bastard, one day it would come back to bite me. And so it has.

    Still, no one reads Warren's site. And they should.

    EDIT: The thing is, when I put that up, I was thinking "I better check the last thread," but apparently I didn't go back far enough. This is what happens when I don't spend all day here; I forget things.

    @rickie

    It's inescapable! You are guilty! guilty, guilty, guilty! ;)

    But as previously discussed, it's not like the thread is a a cohesive discussion, with particular points previously made driving a debate...

    @Brian Mowrey

    Can't believe you didn't post this one from the tumblr you linked to...



    Edit; Bah! Meant this one...

    @ian holloway: I'm with you. I thought the fully produced 'Fuck You' was cute and very over-produced. I dug the first one more. But I'm a sucker for kinetic typography. so yeah.

    stuff.

    @Val everything in Melisaki is really awesome. I think he's scanning from books because only a few have recycle tags and I've never seen most of the photos, its really a whole different animal than most photo-tumbrs

    RE the new 'Fuck You' video, he no longer seems very tongue in cheek during the chorus now that he's just staring into the camera when he says fuck you each time, totally glowering, so it's less of a fun joke and more of 'woah, dude, this would be cool at not here, really not here.'

    Really beautiful people all over the video though, that was nice
