Kony: The Musical (Invisible Children 2006)
The comments are priceless...
This is awesome. I love Joe Kony!!! you guys make him seem so fun and wacky. I hope I can make an exploitative documentary to help kickstart my MTV video directing career, just like these guys.
Well I'm sure that if the LRA were to see their sick dance moves they would go "Hey, maybe we aren't actually doing god's work....did you see that semi-ironic dance he did? Also that white guy said 'end the war' and you know we can't just ignore that"
In fact I'm sure that is the entire reason they buggered off to the Congo in the first place.
I wonder if he busted those moves when he was masturbating on the streets and getting arrested.Etc, etc...:)
Everybody's a target; everybody with communication is a target
Just off Beef Hollow Road, less than a mile from brethren headquarters, thousands of hard-hatted construction workers in sweat-soaked T-shirts are laying the groundwork for the newcomers' own temple and archive, a massive complex so large that it necessitated expanding the town's boundaries. Once built, it will be more than five times the size of the US Capitol.
Rather than Bibles, prophets, and worshippers, this temple will be filled with servers, computer intelligence experts, and armed guards. And instead of listening for words flowing down from heaven, these newcomers will be secretly capturing, storing, and analyzing vast quantities of words and images hurtling through the world's telecommunications networks. In the little town of Bluffdale, Big Love and Big Brother have become uneasy neighbors.
[...]
But "this is more than just a data center," says one senior intelligence official who until recently was involved with the program. The mammoth Bluffdale center will have another important and far more secret role that until now has gone unrevealed. It is also critical, he says, for breaking codes. And code-breaking is crucial, because much of the data that the center will handle—financial information, stock transactions, business deals, foreign military and diplomatic secrets, legal documents, confidential personal communications—will be heavily encrypted. According to another top official also involved with the program, the NSA made an enormous breakthrough several years ago in its ability to cryptanalyze, or break, unfathomably complex encryption systems employed by not only governments around the world but also many average computer users in the US. The upshot, according to this official: "Everybody's a target; everybody with communication is a target."

Interview w/ Adrian Sherwood that covers a lot of ground...
Pelirocco Platters is broadcast twice a week on Brightons community Radioreverb presented by Mick Habeshaw Robinson. The show reflects his love and involvement in punk, acid house, soul and other musical movements. This episode features an interview with UK dub legend Adrian Sherwood who talks about his career and music productions since the early 80s.
...includes snippets from his new solo album and when he mentions Prince Far I down at Dingwalls, well I used to take every night off working there and come as a punter when Adrian was doing the mixing!
Bonus:
Eric's flyer from 1979 that down from the second bottom advertises the tour that Adrian mentions with Prince Far I, Bim Sherman and Prince Hammer. (Thanx David!)
Pussy Riot to Remain in Detention
Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, who face up to seven years in prison on hooliganism charges, will remain under arrest until April 24. The defense promised to appeal.
The judge was biased because she was a target of a provocative stunt involving Tolokonnikova last year, said defense lawyer Nikolai Polozov. Tolokonnikova and several members of art group Voina released hundreds of cockroaches in a Moscow courtroom at a separate trial presided by the same judge as a form of protest.
The court decision triggered a backlash from rights activists, with Lev Ponomaryov from For Human Rights group denouncing the prolonged arrest as a “repressive” act.
In February, five masked members of Pussy Riot stormed the Christ the Savior Cathedral in downtown Moscow to perform a song next to the main altar, which is off-limits to all but priests, and then fled the building. Only two alleged performers have been detained so far.
