shit that looks like an onion article but isn't

Can we quit acting all surprised that an artist would make a vague and unreadable political statement?

i was more just amused by the hapless tone of that article and the quotes from the "music video expert" within it.

dear cody brown: stfu

ahahaha that is bringing the serious lols

What do you think would have happened if George Orwell had the iPad? Do you think he would have written for print then copy and pasted his story into the iBookstore? If this didn’t work out well, do you think he would have complained that there aren’t any serious-readers anymore? No. He would have looked at the medium, then blown our minds.

...

Why not make it like a game so that in order to get to the next ‘chapter’ you need to pass a test? Does the content of the book even need to be created entirely by me? Can I leave some parts of it open to edit by those who buy it and read it? Do I need to charge $9.99, or can I charge $99.99?

...

I’m 21

He would have looked at the medium, then blown our minds.

i mean, just looked at it.

I mean I don't necessarily disagree with him and look forward to the creation of new mediums for art & expression but are you really gonna big up GEORGE ORWELL as some sort of misunderstood literary anarchist who just didn't have the proper tools to express himself with at the time

if only John Betjeman had had the chance to write interactive e-poems with jaunty animated buttons, popup quizzes and livejournal-synced polls

imagine if james joyce has had access to the internet

if only george orwell had the means to charge $99.99 for his books :(

That would be my favorite Onion article ever, if it indeed was one. Instead I'm just sitting here shaking my head and quietly weeping.

No reservations are taken, so unless you eat in daylight or draw good luck, there’s going to be a wait for a table, time spent standing at a bar that was crowded when you arrived and will be when you leave. Also, as the waiters will tell you when you do get a seat, the food comes out when the kitchen prepares it, according to the kitchen’s own needs and schedule, which means there is no real structure to the meals.

Because a groove is a terrible thing to waste, this sonic learning institution will be unlike anything before, as Professor Collins and the finest bassists in music will unleash an intense curriculum, on the web, for intermediate to advanced funk disciples within the program.

i mean that's like a whisker away from http://www.theonion.com/articles/national-funk-congress-deadlocked-on-get-upget-dow,625/ and http://www.theonion.com/articles/clinton-threatens-to-drop-da-bomb-on-iraq,787/

Julia Gillard is the deputy prime minister of Australia, Joe Hockey is shadow minister for finance and quite a stout man.

Greatest leader in History. No gay parades No Outsourcing jobs no Illegals just Slavic Power. Christianity in all schools. An invincible military No1 in Oil Gas and 3 in wheat except this yr just temporary. A 14 percent tax on all incomes not 40 like the West Slava Russia

When the boat skidded onto the beach, a buoyant Putin hopped off and made a beeline for waiting reporters. Clearly in his element, Putin replied jovially to a question as to whether the endeavor was dangerous.

"Living in general is dangerous," he quipped.

putin kind of otm there

Oh this is tacky.
