    In reply to 99-Cent Cardboard iPhone Case Illustrating Contest
    Dan, I think the problem with this contest is that it's self-defeating: those who are creative enough and care about an iPhone case don't want to spend time decorating a cardboard cover that depricates the beauty of the device. And those who might be interested would be doing it for exactly the opposite reason: they'd be wanting to slam the iPhone and want to purposely sully it. The latter group, many of whom are equally as creative as the former, prolly can't garner the time or will to do it because there's no pay-off.

    I'm not sure the Obama thing is a drawing - I'm studying abroad in Denmark and I remember seeing that as a poster from a war protestor's group. You're right though...it makes absolutely no sense. #cardboardiphonecase

    Not to get into a political argument, but I happen to be a specialist in political theory with the degrees to back it up and socialism/anarchism aren't necessarily conflicting ideologies at all.

    Also, must you be so condescending with those who don't agree with you? The Alabama/pick-up truck statement was unnecessary. #cardboardiphonecase

    @Underscore_Lysdexia: Well, everyone knows that Tool not only invented stop motion animation and the music video itself and if you remember correctly, Tool videos are always brightly lit and cheery and upbeat and fun.

    Unless I'm wrong about all of the things I just said, in which case, this video is not like a Tool video.

    That's really cool! Locally, I dunno if it's nationwide/widespread, there's this thing called "Stomp" where it's a group and they use random items like garbage cans, ect. as percussion instruments. This video made me think of that.

    @Bawb: 92BLS' Rule #435 for being faux cool (on the internet): Instead of admitting that you aren't sure how well known something is, how old it is, etc., simply say something like: "Reminds me of Stomp with the random items and stuff." All casual like.

    Then, if it has been around for ever and everyone knows about it, they can just nod and say "Totally."

    If it turns out to be totally obscure, and you're totally in the know, then everyone will be all "Oh, what's that! Tell us more." And you can casually drop a link, like they should know about it if they don't.

    Otherwise you run the risk of presenting something old as something new to you. Which, as we all know, is the ultimate sin on the internets, where everyone is expected to already know everything awesome that ever happened.

    And that is your how to be (faux) cool rule o' the day.
