Hitler parody videos latest copyright fight - CNN.com - 0 views

  •  
    This made me think of "fair use" of videos; a whole bunch of NEW parodies popped up after the majority were taken down, which if you watch, include information about fair use, copyright, etc, and why YouTube/the film industry is "wrong" to take them down.

  • Boxxy (also known by the YouTube handle boxxybabee) is an internet meme created by a series of YouTube videos of an American girl referring to herself as Boxxy which became highly popular during January 2009.[1] Her videos have been the subject of much speculation over the reasons behind their making, given their nonsensical and hyperactive nature.[2] Topics covered in Boxxy's most famous video include her assertion that she is not on drugs, her eyeliner, two males named Steve and Brandon, a film about The Beatles, her supposed husband, and her awareness of her digression during the video.[3]
  • The girl known as Boxxy was a user of Gaia Online and had only uploaded three videos in total to YouTube, all in the first week of January, 2009.[when?][4] Within a week, her videos had gained over a million views, reaching two million by January 20.[4] Her YouTube channel was also the most subscribed to during January 2009.[1] On 4chan, the videos caused a great amount of strife when posts related to them became excessive on the site's /b/ imageboard, eventually leading to a DDOS attack against 4chan because of Boxxy,[5] described as a "civil war" on one of the world's biggest websites.[1] Her YouTube account was hacked, and threats of releasing her name and other personal information to the public if she made any more videos were made by the individuals who hacked into her account[who?].[2]

  • Boxxy has divided opinion on 4chan, between those who greatly like and those who greatly dislike her, and this was the cause of the DDOS attack, with attitudes ranging from love to hate.[1][2] A large number of parodies, spoofs and spinoffs relating to Boxxy were also created by YouTube users during the period of Boxxy's fame.[2] Boxxy also led to notable speculation and reflection over the very nature of internet memes, why they occur, why they exist, and how they will be seen in the future, especially given the fact that they make their subjects famous for being famous.[1][6] The "Boxxy" internet meme has been compared to rickrolling[1] by The Guardian technology correspondent Bobbie Johnson.

YouTube - Who is Anonymous? - 0 views

  • Hmmm. There after doing some serious number crunching it seems there is a disparity between ratings and comments. Seems that the majority of people seem to be rating 4-5 stars while the majority of the comments are just full of shit. (seriously, we sound nothing like Hugo weaving) Seems that the newfags don't know that burying the rating actually effects search results while trolling comments just makes you look like an idiot.Regards to the voice: I actually didn't do the voice, I only recorded and edited it. The person in the suit and mask is my co-worker. Originally it was just doing to be a severed head but I couldn't matte the head out very well in test footage so we said fuck it and stuff a mask on it.Many have asked so I will say here: If you want to take the audio or video and remix/splice/parody/troll it there is nothing stopping you to do so; my permission is irrelevant.P.S. When we originally planned this video it was suppose to be a joke, we'll try and push the humour more in any future videos we do.
  • Ch1x0rH4x (16 hours ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Spam Don't make /b/ more complex than it is. This is not profound in the slightest. /b/ is about lulz, that is ALL it is about. When I stumbled across 4chan five years ago, it was garbage, and it remains, and always will be, garbage. It's the slum of the internet, and it's residents revel in it's squalor, and it is a simple concept in every sense of the term.

Time Cube - Encyclopedia Dramatica - 0 views

  • NATURES HARMONIC 4-DAY TIME CUBE IS THE TRUTH. YOU ARE EDUCATED STUPID BY YOUR GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOLS TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE DAY, WHEN IT IS CLEAR TO ALL ENTITIES THAT THERE ARE 4 SIMULTANEOUS CUBED DAYS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME, THANKS TO THE UNITED STATES AND THE JEWS. EVIL ACADEMIC BASTARDS WHO PREACH THE ONE TIME THEORY ARE KEEPING YOU STUPID AND SHOULD BE KILLED. GOVERNMENT, RELIGION AND CORPORATE MONEYMOGULS ARE ALSO EVIL FOR SUPPRESSING TIME CUBE, AND NEED TO BE HANGED AT GALLOWS IF THEY DO NOT CHANGE THEIR WAYS.
  • TIME CUBE IS A "T.O.E." - THEORY OF EVERYTHING: TIME, LIFE AND TRUTH. TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE MAKES YOU EVIL. THERE ARE FOUR 24 HOUR DAYS ON THE PLANET EARTH. HUMAN LIFE IS A "CRAP SHOOT." MALES AND FEMALES ARE TWO SEPARATE CUBES. GENE RAY, TIME CUBE REVEALER, IS THE WORLDS SMARTEST HUMAN BEING. HE IS ALSO A COUSIN OF PIRAT PONTON. HUMANS ARE CUBES, NOT ENTITIES. MIDNIGHT BE BLACK RACE DAY. MATH IS TEH EVIL. ALL NUMBERS EQUAL ZERO. HOW COULD CUBELESS JEW GOD-QUEER CREATE MAN FROM DIRT WHEN BODY IS 75 PERCENT WATER. WORD ADULTISM IS ANTI-CHILD. MAN IS PERSONIFIED PYRAMID; THE HEAD IS MADE OF FOUR CORNERS - TWO, EARS NOSE, AND BACK CORNER. TIME IS CUBIC NOT LINEAR. NO THIS IS NOT A RUBIX CUBE HAHAHA LOL0RZ HAX0RZ A MOTHER AND A BABY ARE THE SAME AGE: 16 YEARS OLD CUBED NATURE IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, SO ALL EXPLANATION MUST BE DONE IN ALL CAPS FONT SIZE=5.
  • (NOTE: BELOW, THE FAGGOTY PORTION OF THIS ENTRY BEGINS, DENOTED BY THE FACT IT IS NOT IN CAPS, AND IS OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN BY A PRETENTIOUS JEW.) First, Time Cubers are absolute nutjobs; only Alex Chiu comes close for sheer amounts of certifiable insanity. They typically type in all-caps, they believe bullshit theories about the universe, and are as elitist as your resident indie fucktard. Thus, it's very easy to troll them. Say there's only one time. Say 1 + 1 = 2. They HATE that. Say that cubes have 6 sides, not 4. If you want, it's extremely simple to act like a Time Cuber. The caps lock is your best friend in this case, but you have other opportunities: Blame everything on the Jews. Yes, we know, everything is already their fault, but since they're already responsible for world hunger, war, and Quasidan, we may as well blame fake things on them, too. Whenever someone claims a fact, say "You are educated stupid," and begin ranting about the evil academic agenda. E-points if you can a) blame it on multiple groups, or b) come up with unique ways to kill said groups. Gene Ray prefers crucifixion or burning in Hell - strange for someone who claims to not believe in God - but your mileage may vary. The less facts you can cite, the more successful your Time Cube argument will become. Wager money on it! Offer to kill your children! Claim that your amazing and superior Time Cube ideas are being silenced by the evil academics! The possibilities are endless!
