The Editing Room: Revenge of the Sith

Check out the Editing Room's treatment of Episode III. Funny, true, and sad. But mostly funny.

It's A Mario World

I was never the biggest Super Mario fan, but as guerrilla art projects go, this is super keen:

Might have to make some of those.

Why the Internet Sucks So Bad

Let's say I have an electric drill. It's a fine drill. I love it. I drill things. Life is good.

Then one day, I find out about hacksaws. A friend of mine gives me one. Now I have an electric drill AND a hacksaw! I try to saw things, and it's cool! Sawing is fun. Now I can drill when I want to drill and saw when I want to saw.

I go to the Internet and I say:
"I used to have only an electric drill. Drilling is fun, and I like my drill. The other day, my friend gave me a hacksaw. I tried it, and sawing is fun! I like to saw, now, too. I wonder what other tools there are? There could be all kinds! I can't wait to find out!"

The Internet says:
"Why are you hating on drills? Drills are rad! All I have is a drill and I don't need any stinking hacksaw! There are all kinds of good reasons to drill things. Here is a list of 42 different reasons, with references. And there are all kinds of electric drills. Here are links to five that I like! Maybe you haven't found the right kind of drill yet. Sawing isn't drilling anyway! Sawing is something totally different, and it probably doesn't work anyway."

Jeez. It's uncanny. Visit any forum or blog or anything out there, about any topic. It's all the same. The next time I see this "argument" I'm going to go right off the deep end. Maybe I should unplug my computer.
