Am I the only one who thinks the Veyron is terribly ugly? I cringe whenever I hear people call it beautiful. Eye of the beholder etc etc, but to me its just the embodyment of excess. If it were a person it would be a fat oil tycoon dressed up in expensive clothes with gawdy gold necklaces and giant diamonds on his fingers. Beautiful?


I think the thing is that it's as much a monument to engineering as to excess. The amount of work and refining that has to go into creating one of these things do what it can do is immense.

Healthcare Reform Without Single Payer Is No Reform at All

Stormsinger says...

@NetRunner
Let me first say, I'm constantly amazed at how level-headed you stay...my hat's off to you.

I agree that ruining stock value of the insurance companies shouldn't be a -goal-...it should simply be irrelevant. If all the health insurance companies go bust because reform made them unimportant, it would be a hardship for those working people they employ, but it would be a godsend for the rest of us.

I don't use the word "evil" lightly, but health insurance companies are exactly that. Health insurance companies had record profits last year...and yet, claim they need record rate increases this year. Those two facts add up to only one conclusion: they're getting while the getting is good, before they get shut down. They're no different than the Wall Street tycoons, they'll rape us any way they can.

President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize Speech

honkeytonk73 says...

To promote 'peace', we have to kill people. To promote nuclear disarmament, we have to prevent others from getting the technology.. while we continue to develop it ourselves. To ensure our security, we must control global oil resources.. if it means killing people and pitting nations against each other secretly to achieve it. To ensure continued dominance, we must scam people into believing they are free and living in a democracy.. when the national agenda is actually defined by bankers and oil tycoons. To ensure the middle east does not unite against the US and pose a threat.. we must promote destabilization of the region. Through assured continuation of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Through fear-mongering of Iran. Through occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. By continuing to support the unpopular Saudi regime in a land where the leadership would be instantly wiped out should the US pull it's forces out.

We must maintain the status quo. We must continue Bush policies.. yet call them something else as to not show association.

Afghanistan is about a pipeline.
Iraq is about the Oil.
Iran is about 'mass distraction'.
North Korea is irrelevant, but is good to point to 'see he is crazier than we are!'.
China is a slave driving business partner.
The US claims Honduras had a free and fair election, when it did not.
The US claims Iraq and Afghanistan had free and fair elections. When they did not either.

How free, fair, open do you think the US system is? Does the government actually follow the 'will of the people'. Do they practice the concept of 'by the people, for the people', 'by the corporations, for the corporations'?

We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!

(We-we) we came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I was testing you - and you passed,
Dental plan! Lisa needs braces,
Be required to fart on a regular basis,
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse,
Channel 13 - Eyewitness news!
Robocop, who is he?
Dead or alive you're coming with me.

In a hurry to be fed, beady eyes and big blue head.

I'm telling the truth Doc, you gotta believe me,
Why does everything I whip leave me?
My beautiful chocolate! Candy is dandy,
Fava beans and a nice Chianti,
You can count on Slippery Pete,
Suicide will be nice and neat!
I didn't build the Panama canal,
Open the pod bay doors please, HAL,

These aren't the droids you're looking for,
These aren't the droids we're looking for,
I am not a number I am a free man!
Rosebud.
To The Idiotmobile!
Right away Michael,
I-I-I-I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
You don't understand I coulda had class,
Round and tasty on a bun,
Ooh Zippy look what you've done!
Finally! Cast off those lines!
No, I've been nervous lots of times,
Red Rum! What's the matter honey?
Just robbed Boss Hogg all of his money!

We came, saw, we kicked it's ass,
Writing checks your body can't cash,
I was elected to lead, not read,
I feel the need - the need for speed,
Watch out for snakes, a good man's loafer,
HQ - my hat looks like a muffin - over,
My god it's full of stars,
There was no driver in the car..

In the car (repeat)

Well you see I'm in hot pursuit!

There are only two things I love in this world - everybody and television!
#The Simpsons
#Run With Us!
Ugh - you must be shrooming,
Wait for me Moomin!
Cross live to meet the host of that show, Meat Boy,
I want to go to there.

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
An oil tycoon - like a.. moustache,
Nice beaver! I just had it stuffed,
I don't give a shit, close enough,
Where's me washboard? I'll get me coat,
Y-y-y-you're gonna need a bigger boat,
What'd she say? I think she bought it,
Suck it monkeys! I'm goin' corporate!
C'mon let's take a drive! A drive?
Number 5 is alive!
It's only a laugh, no harm done,
Pickles, french fries, yum yum yum,
Bueller, Bueller, Bueller,
It's 2 degrees cooler,
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long,
Six words in the whole song.

We-we-we accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
You are number 6 5 4 3 2
I am not a number, I am a free man

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Give me my 20,000 in cash,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think you woke up the dead with that blast
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think fast, I talk fast,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Lois, this is not my Batman glass,

Fantastic animated building projection

FlowersInHisHair says...

I noticed the RollerCoaster Tycoon crowd noises too. The kid's voice at 2:01 is a stark reminder of how many hours I must have played that game, in order to get the background sounds stuck in my head! (The same sound even repeats at 4:18.)

It's a wonderful projection - if it is a projection... I can't help thinking it's post-production though. either way, it's mesmerising to look at, so I don't really mind!
