barring a revelation that Obama was involved in Michael Vick's dogfighting ring, this is going to be an easy win for Obama.

Breaking news: Brock Obama was heard singing the theme song of the TV show based on a popular dogfighting simulator video game.

But not because nobody outside North America has "The Hub" (the channel on which the content is originally aired) that the fans feel they "have to download it" from other sources.

It's because the fanbase produces most of its own content in the form of derivative works (video: spliced from the Indiana Jones tribute. Audio, both music and vocals, entirely fan-made), and in order to meaningfully contribute, you have to have watched the show. Or seen Epic Meal Time (Video and audio entirely fan-made with the exception of a few seconds of bass, but the voices are from fans doing impressions of the characters). Anyone seen GLaDOS lately?)

Even if the content industry solved the distribution/licensing problem by making it possible for viewers to watch the show regardless of geographical limitations, the sorts of draconian IP regimes envisioned by SOPA, ACTA, PIPA, CIPSA, and whatever the next one is, would serve only to prevent the creation of derivative works, parodies, fan mashups and tributes.

"Sugar coated happy endings" will also be filtered, of course.

And for damn good reason (SFW).

Two problems here. 1st, you're lying! 2nd, you're a karma whore for capitalizing on anti-consertative ignorant fucks out there with Mod points.

TBH, your post is a prime example of Poe's Law: "it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing."

Or, in other words, "Can't tell if trolling..."

I saw it, and I don't see how that affects the big crunch theory. But then I'm not an astrophysicist.

Long answer: Here's a nice explanation

Short answer: the crunch will never happen because the universe is going to keep expanding forever.

Congratulations! You've won a trip to Africa!

When an I Can Has Cheezeburger site explains the entire Obama administration, government view of free speech vs. censorship, and current political climate in 3 panels something is wrong.

Yeah some details didn't need to be leaked. But most did. The military calls this "collateral damage" and minimizes it compared to the success of hitting a target. Civilians are apparently held to a different standard because we haven't been trained how to properly attack and cover up.
