rick what
Sometimes when I see a really interesting video or news item online and I find out that it was apparently the talk-of-the-net several months ago I feel a little bad that I'm so far behind. On the other hand, it also probably means that I'm not a super-nurd, which is a comforting consolation. In any case, at the risk of looking stupid in the eyes of the geeks who read this, I'm going to blog about all of these interesting (yet somewhat old) stuff that I discovered today.
First, there is this extremely unbelievably retarded news video that aired on a local Fox station in july 2007. You'll cringe as you see this, but this is not a parody or hoax, it's an actual news report : check it here.
The way I found the video was by reading about the concept of imageboards, another seemingly big topic which had illuded me (there goes my big business idea).
How did I hear about imageboard, you say? I was reading about another internet meme called "Rick Rolling" and in the process found out that Rick Rolling was started at one of these popular image boards (4chan).
And finally, what started all of this was this xkcd strip. The rickrolling comment at the end made me curious and set of my wonderous journey in the internets.
Oh and since we're doing this, another example of why 80's was a disaster.

Don't worry, in this age of mass archivism, there is too much to know. That's why the wise have gone zen and given up their TVs.
THe 80s was a distaster but remember Toyah Wilcox in Thunder in the Mountains, or Martha and the Muffins Echo Beach, The Specials Ghost Town... there was some good.
Funny thing about Rick Astley everyone thought he was black, and that got him a rep.

I just Googled the “Arabian Gulf” and I enjoyed what you did. Dude, you rock! I’m sure many of our Iranian fellows appreciate what you are doing. Keep it up.
Best of luck.
