Is It Still Satire If You Can Find Someone Who Missed The Joke?







Is It Still Satire If You Can Find
Someone Who Missed The Joke?

Is It Still Satire If You Can Find
Someone Who Missed The Joke?
12/24/2003 12:08 PM

As expected, it's shaping up to be something of a slow news day, but there are still a few good stories out there. This one, found over at Tech Law Advisor shows why people without a sense of humor shouldn't be allowed to hire (or be) lawyers. A few years back, after a judge ordered the detention of a 13-year-old kid for handing in a school essay with a "violent tone", the Dallas Observer wrote up a satire piece about the same folks having a 6-year-old arrested for writing a book report on Maurice Sendak's insanely popular children's book "Where the Wild Things Are." In the article, they made up ridiculous quotes ("We've considered having her certified to stand trial as an adult, but even in Texas there are some limits." and "Any implication of violence in a school situation, even if it was just contained in a first-grader's book report, is reason enough for panic and overreaction.") and attributed them to real people who were involved in the original case. Those people are now suing for libel. Of course, satire and opinion are protected speech, but the people in question are claiming that because some people don't have a sense of humor and missed the satire, it's not satire at all. If that argument stood, then all you would need to do to unprotect satire is find someone with no sense of humor who missed the joke - and rush them to the courthouse to have them help you file your lawsuit. Meanwhile, it seems like the judges are realizing that this case is pointless. Yet more evidence that we live in a society where if anyone says anything you don't want to hear, you sue first and act offended later.

Gay marriage satire


Gay marriage satire 07/27/2004 01:18 PM
The Fafblog continues its reign as the funniest political satire blog on the Net with today's post about gay marriage in the form of a mock-interview with the Family Research Council's Dr. James Dobson:
[JD]: The legality of gay marriage sent out powerful shockwaves of destructive gay energy throughout hetereosexuality. Without an amendment to the constitution specifically barring homosexuals from obtaining marriage rights, this destructive Gay Force rampaged throughout the Traditional Family Nexus, corrupting it and turning thousands of upright, decent, missionary-position-loving straight couples into deranged, out-of-control mutant gay perverts.

FB: This is horrible! What in your scientific opinion as a doctor can we do to stop this?

JD: Well, humanity's only hope at this point lies in the Marriage Protection Act, which would strip federal courts of the ability to review the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act. That way if the draconian anti-gay laws we need turn out to be unconstitutional, we'll never know, because the courts won't be able to stop them.

Revisiting Barcode Replacement Satire


Revisiting Barcode Replacement Satire 05/11/2004 03:16 PM
A little over a year ago there was a huge media frenzy over a site that let people view and print out barcodes. It was really just a database of barcodes, but the site presented a satirical commercial showing how you could use the site to "name your own price" and re-code any product to a price you preferred. Of course, actually doing the re-coding would be illegal. Running a database telling people how seems perfectly legal... unless you're lawyers at a big company like Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart and a number of other big companies forced the site to shut down, and the folks have now set up the site as a Wal-Mart spoof. John submitted a story about the whole mess one year later. It sounds like those involved didn't expect the level of backlash they got - especially from the press who labeled them as the thieves. Still, they've now got other plans up their sleeves for satirical projects.

Via Wonkette, here's a slightly unfair but powerful rejoinder to President Bush's jokes about weapons of mass destruction. Media is in the hands of everyone, and people are going to use it to hold powerful people -- including media people, such as the Washington correspondents who found Bush's performance so hilarious -- to account.
People seem to really be embracing web video as a medium and it definitely delivers the message at a different level than text. Very interesting to see how this form develops.

Dmitri Puchkov is a Russian ex-cop who goes by the alias Goblin. "Goblin" is his nom-de-edit when he's remixing Lord of the Rings, dubbing in Russian dialogue to lampoon cops, oligarchs, and gangsters. He's working on a re-cut of Star Wars now. (This is old news, but I only just read about it)
Frodo Baggins is renamed Frodo Sumkin (a derivative from the Russian word sumka, or bag). The Ranger, Aragorn, is called Agronom (Russian for farm worker). Legolas is renamed Logovaz, after a Russian car company famed for its Ladas. Boromir becomes Baralgin, after a Russian type of paracetemol.

Gandalf spends much of the film trying to impress others with his in-depth knowledge of Karl Marx, and Frodo is cursed with the filthy tongue of a Russian criminal.

The films - which Puchkov says were originally made for his close friends but have now gone out on the internet - have found cult appeal in Russia's crowded pirate market, where a pirated, high-quality DVD in both Russian and English costs £5. That is all ordinary Russians, who earn only $300 a month in Moscow, can afford. The Russian pirate industry is worth $311 million, and has grown by 25 per cent since last year, pirates making more than 40 million disks a year.

Sorry I missed the party


Sorry I missed the party 05/14/2004 12:17 PM

While evereyone else was out partying last night (Acteva also had a party) I was working to change the world - bringing DLAs to the masses.

More on my efforts later.

But for now - congrats to Ev and Jason.  I wonder if Orkut was there?

Smells like 1999.

Last night I attended the Blogger relaunch party at SF’ 26Mix. It was a pretty cool bash - and I mean the food, the music and the locale were pretty trendy. What struck me was the names and faces from the past, those who had become party regulars were all in full force. Jay Shellen, Evan Williams and a whole bunch of Blogger gang were in attendance, and so were the folks behind Craigslist, Newsmonster, Feedster and of course the queen of valley gossip, Chris Nolan. James and James of AmIhotornot were in attendance as well.

It reminded me of the parties in 1999 when the dotcom madness was in full swing. Lately I have been getting more of these party invites and there seems to be a certain buzz, back in the air. The rentals in San Francisco are inching up slowly, the traffic on Highway 101 is turning into a weebit of a nightmare, and even magazines are trotting out some familiar names. My magazine for instance has a story on Mary “Queen of the Net” Meeker, Nick Denton of Gawker Media. and a couple of others. Wired is having a NextFest. What makes it more like 1999, is the fact that a whole lot of journalists are talking about “blogging” as their salvation (which may or may not be true!) and quitting their jobs to do something with “blogs.” Back in the day, they were talking about web as their escape key. I think the hype machine around blogs is in high gear, and while it might make some like Rafat Ali or Nick Denton very rich, there is little or no hope for many of us.

In short, it smells and feels like 1999. Let the party begin - free vodka and canapes, hell I am not complaining.

“Once loaded up, you can drop the [iPod] mini in your pocket, or make use of the optional arm band to strap it to you,” writes Brett Larson in an iPod mini review for CBS. “And unlike CD players, or even tape-based WalkMan’s, the iPod’s let you move about, run around, work out and stay active without any song skipping. In fact, where my typical 4 mile run has me skipping a few steps, my iPod hasn’t ever missed a beat.” [Mar 5]

Another missed warning?


Another missed warning? 12/30/2004 04:51 PM
The tsunami-warning blame game -- could the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have done a better job alerting Indian Ocean countries after learning of the earthquake? -- takes a new turn Thursday. The Washington Post reports that the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, based in Vienna, surely would have picked up the earthquake "but it had no chance to alert governments in the region because its offices were closed for the holidays." In fact, the network doesn't even possess a communication system capable of channeling early warning signals to the region. Should it? Writes the Post: "Bernard Massinon, a French seismologist who serves as scientific adviser to the test ban organization, said the agency's seismic stations -- including eight in Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka -- could technically be linked to an early warning system for earthquakes and tsunamis if member states decided to do it. 'Could we help by providing real-time data from this network?" he said. "The answer should be yes.'"

Apple are missing out on a huge opportunity. I've bought 198 songs through the iTunes music store now, and iTunes has access to the other music that I've imported from my own CD collection. I want to discover new music - why doesn't iTunes look at what I listen to, match it against buying habits tracked through the store and give me an Amazon style "people who like the music you listen to also liked...". Privacy concerns could be avoided by having the recommendation feature off by default - I'd turn it on in a heart-beat.

Missed Call Scam Showing Up In The UK


Missed Call Scam Showing Up In The UK 02/18/2004 01:19 PM
Apparently, over in the UK there's a new scam that involves tricking people into calling expensive per-minute "premium" numbers. It works by randomly dialing mobile phone numbers and having the system hang up after one ring. This way, the caller ID on the phone records the number. When people call back, they're told they've won a prize, but have to call another number to receive it. That second number is a premium rate number with high per-minute fees (though, the caller is never told that). While concerned people in the article make this out to be a big deal, I wonder how many people are actually fooled. Do people actually call back unknown caller ID numbers on their phone? I always assume if they didn't leave a message it's not important or a wrong number. Second, if you do call that number back and you get a message saying you'd won and that you need to call another phone number - how many people would actually believe it? It screams out "scam!" I guess there are a lot of gullible mobile phone users out there.

The American Civil Liberties Union disclosed yesterday that it filed a lawsuit three weeks ago challenging the FBI's methods of obtaining many business records, but the group was barred from revealing even the existence of the case until now.
  • The abuses of liberty just roll along. Now it's deemed illegal even to tell anyone about the abuses. President Bush has a mania for secrecy. Preventing the people from knowing what the government does with their money, and in their name, has been one of his administration's hallmarks. And now he's running around telling everyone why we should extend the term and the reach of the cynically named law that mandates such attacks on lilberty. Call your lawmakers, if you're an American, and tell them the Constitution should still mean something to them, and that it does to you.

    Is It Illegal To Order A Movie From
    Overseas?
    12/17/2003 01:13 PM
    Earlier this week, we had the story of Miramax sending out threatening letters to a movie review site that simply linked to a site that used to sell movies that had been released in Asia, but not in the US. So, now, Wired News is exploring the tricky legal question of whether or not you're allowed to buy foreign DVDs of movies not released in the US. The conclusion is that you can probably buy a single copy for personal use. Maybe. You can't, however, sell it anywhere. So, if you go into a store, and they offer films (or, I imagine, music) that were released for sale outside of this country, it could be illegal to buy them. Apparently, despite having this nice global economy we're all supposed to be a part of, intellectual property law still means you could be breaking the law if you are buying and selling products not from this country.
