So Amazing, So Illegal
Jamie gave me a nice writeup of a mashup where the writer shares some random youtube mashup video that you maybe have seen before called the Mother of all Funk Chords. It's a pretty amazing artistic achievement and probably worth at least a quick glance of your time. But the larger point should be taken seriously. He says "If your reaction to this crate of magic is 'Hm. I wonder how we'd go about suing someone who "did this" with our IP?' instead of, 'Holy crap, clearly, this is the freaking future of entertainment,' it's probably time to put some ramen on your Visa and start making stuff up for your LinkedIn page. Because, this is what your new Elvis looks like."
nobody would ever produce music, art, or literature. Which is also why works need to be protected for a century or longer.
Theirs goes, 'ding ding ding dingy ding-ding.' Ours goes, 'ding ding ding ding dingy ding-ding.'
The future of entertainment seems so old (so old).
it's probably time to put some ramen on your Visa and start making stuff up for your LinkedIn page.
Can anyone explain what the hell this means?
I think it means CmdrTaco is off his meds again.

I'm guessing the writer thinks that the diet of the readers is Ramen, so we should go buy it at 10 cents per package with financing and work on some mashups? Last time I bought Ramen noodles it came to be less than $5, and most small places don't allow charges under that to be put on plastic.

Right! Wait. What?
FFS, all you need to do is click the colored words.

We try not to use that kind of insensitive wording anymore.
You mean "words of ethnic descent".
I think you are supposed to give your passport to the FSM in tribute for the help he will give you in finding a new job, hence the lies on your linkedin page. The first of which would probably be 'that you understand what that meant' so you don't look so not cuil.

Hi, Bureau of Political Insanity here. I'm afraid your phrase "words of ethnic descent" is no longer the preferred phrase. We believe that this is still too much of a segregation between "words of ethnic descent" and "words of non-ethnic descent."
From now on all words, regardless of hue, palette, or Pantone reference, shall simply be refered to as "words." For instance, these words are just words, they are not "coloured words", "words of ethnic descent", or "words which have been highlighted because they signify something different to any other word. They are just as useful as the other words, and we applaud their contribution to society without at all decreasing the contributions from all other words, regardless of origin."
Finally had enough. Come see us over at https://soylentnews.org/
Without mashups, we'd all be able to touch M.C. Hammer.

You can buy CDs with music already on them?
What?

Hey! These guys are pissing me off. Since when is it okay to take a bunch of other people's music and make it into your own?
How would these mashup "artists" like it if I took a bunch of their mashups and mashed it up into a "Double Mashup"?
Oh, what a monster mash of "art" that would be.

There's another 3:36 of my life I'll never get back...
what's next, porn mashups from videos of people writhing around naked and alone in front of their webcams?
Actually, that was first
You owe me a new brain.
That would be an awesome video if Technoviking showed up in the first five seconds and kicked his ass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1nzEFMjkI4
Yeah but the guy who burns them has like never heard of mp3s. He burns them as uncompressed WAV files or something, so you only get like 78 minutes per disc. On the plus side, he has a badass label printer.
And yet, I was out of my chair and grooving. (On your lawn).
