August 22nd EFF Benefit Party at the DNA Lounge

Posted by chrisd on from the attend-or-just-donate dept.

Jamie Zawinski writes "Mark your calendars: on Thursday, August 22nd, we're throwing a benefit party for the EFF at DNA Lounge in San Francisco! In addition to great music from DDR, Kid606, and many others, you can also witness the carnage of the first ever Wil Wheaton versus Barney Celebrity Boxing Match! Can Wil, with his backing from the EFF, protect free speech and parody on the Internet and defeat Barney and his team of corporate lawyers? You can also join us earlier in the evening and meet Wil at a special VIP party: see the DNA Lounge announcement or the EFF press release for more details." Even if you can't attend, isn't now a good time to renew your membership?

    Are we talking about music from Dance Dance Revolution? If so, is that going to be because people are playing DDR soundtrack cd's or because the game is going to be there?

    That letter to the lawyers threatinging the EFF with regards to the Barney parody (linked in the blurb above) is a good fun read.

    All it's missing is the line "Say my name, Bitch" at the end.

  3. Slashdot must really hate Wil Wheaton by Kj0n · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is already the fourth time that his website gets slashdotted.

    Why do that, when I could just wait around for Wil to post a comment here and then strike up a conversation like a Star Trek obssesed stalker with no life?

    Wil, I'm outside your house!

    I disagree with qpt. My lawyers have been informed about my disagreement, and the writ is currently winging its way to him as we speak. Thats we as in yourself, derbobb, and myself, AC. Not qpt, though. He doesn't have anything to add to the conversation, and I disagree with him anyway.

    Obviously I haven't really woken up this morning and this is some kind of weird Slashdot dream.

    Aren't Barney jokes a little... oh I don't know... 1994?

    No! NO! Until that purple, sugar coated, white gumed (LOOK AT THE UGLY THING SOMETIME - HE HAS NO TEETH!!) lame ass excuse for corporate brainwashing of our kids is dead, I will continue to parody and make him the butt of as many jokes as I can. A pox on him.

    Hey, maybe we could resurect another '90s joke, and convince Jerry Falwell that Barney is Tinky-Winky's gay live in. Adds new meaning to "I love you, You love me...". GAHHH!

    (*Cranks up 7Dust to clear the stench of the Barney song from his head*)
