Is a dupe: http://videosift.com/video/Imaginative-Girl-Spins-A-Yarn

Looks ok but for 3 months work what a load of shit , could have made this in 3 days using Flash or after effects .

the fact that they did it using paper and yarn is not aparent in the final item so its pritty much redundent.

Awwww the yarn dragon is CUTE This game looks like something you would want to hug

That was basically my question to you. I gave an example where the implicit social expectations, and legal expectations were completely different, despite both being privately owned.

So it's the old "It's the law!" argument, I see. Your reasoning for making the comment "privately owned public property" is because the laws are already in place that distinguish commercial from residential, and therefore there's a legal expectation. Yes, because it's the law. Much like the war on drugs already sets a legal expectation.

Your social expectations you mention had to do with a business opening their doors to the public where a private home owner wouldn't. That's an absurd distinction. First, in a business, it's not open to the public, it's open for customers. They may permit them to browse their goods, but sometimes businesses have requirements before you enter such as a dress code or admission fee. And also locking your doors at night "constrains freedom", right? I mean, doesn't the black customer have a right to come into the white storeowner's shop?!

Your distinction here between legal and social expectations contrast what you say later: 'It's about taking away your "freedom" to put a blanket ban on people on the basis of race, group, or class.' Here again I've argued private land owners should have that right, even if I think it's awful. But Democrats want to argue a moral yarn about private property isn't private because of some social or legal expectation. But when you show how private companies need to limit private spaces (bathrooms, admission entry, dress code, etc.), the Democrats then have to play verbal hopscotch to ensure they take into account how an actual business needs to run. It's lame. Which brings me to the next response...

>> ^NetRunner:
I gave an example where the line between public and private is blurry, you gave one where it is less so. I said a couple posts back that I believe there's a spectrum of ownership. Some objects, when owned, are clearly close to the libertarian ideal in terms of the benefits of ownership.

But who decides? This is another Democratic fallacy. You guys want a Utopia and want to meddle in all aspects of human life, but you're never practical about it. Your rules are more complicated than mapping the genome.

>> ^NetRunner:
I mean, that's the argument you're making here. On a Metro bus, discrimination is morally wrong (why?), but on a Greyhound bus, discrimination is the business owner's moral right, and should be enforced by the police if uppity negroes get it into their heads that they're people too.

Here again the Democrats believe the civil rights movement boiled down to a resistance against private business owners. Segregation was a much larger issue in America than that. Blacks were treated differently in armed forces, they weren't allowed to hold government jobs like policeman and firefighters, they were forced to go to substandard segregated public schools, and the corrupt justice system wouldn't give them a fair trial.

But that won't stop the Democrats from blaming private business for the civil rights movement. Damn history when you have political opinion.

We should'nt require a civil rights act in a free society, but the pressures of racism in a community government proved to embolden the democratic voice of the people much like the gays in California were recently silenced because of your precious democracy.

I think it's pretty stupid company policy to antagonize your own customers. But if that's how BoA chooses to handle their clients, then that's their decision. This gal makes no bones about it. She admits she was violating company rules, disobeying the orders of her superiors, and disregarding the terms of her employment. She got fired for it. Duh.

She's not the CEO of Bank of America. She isn't the branch manager. She isn't the department manager. She's not even the 'senior customer service representative'. She's an entry level clerk with 5 months on the job. The right thing would have been to quit the job herself the second she found out how BoA runs its shop and give them a bellyfull in the exit interview.

It is pretty much a national pasttime for entry level employees to carp about the company they work for as if they were the CEO and know how to run things. And I've never met a single person in my entire life who was fired from a job but who couldn't spin a moving, heartbreaking yarn about how evil and unfair the company was for doing it.

The indie rock band Modest Mouse is getting the royal treatment from Bent Image Lab’s new director/partner Nando Costa. Just completed, the band’s new music video is a dark and expressive piece of film-making. Heavily rooted in live-action, the impressive six-minute video includes intense moments of stop motion, visual effects, and motion graphics techniques, all brought to life within the studio’s walls.

The visuals follow an artist who enters his personal sanctuary where he is presented with a hand-crafted drawing tool that assists him in materializing his mental impressions. Through drawing circular patterns, the machine discharges an endless web of yarn that guides him through his visual representations of his memories. The story progresses to reveal that he is divided between two worlds, one of dull reality and the second of warped memories. In the process of finding a way out of his consciousness, he is trapped between the two competing spaces, which eventually inflict lethal damage, acting as metaphors to self-destruction.

This lyrical and moving piece was conceived by Nando Costa working closely with lead singer/guitarist Isaac Brock to polish some of the film's intricacies. Featuring a seamless combination of live-action and stop motion that alternates between stage shots of Modest Mouse and a spiraling dream-like world of ever-shifting landscapes, Whale Song is a stunning representation of the combined capabilities of Nando and Bent. The variety and execution of the VFX portions of the video – from yarn reeling into complex patterns to a guitar that plays with no musician attached – strongly evoke the confused and surreal patterns of one's warped memories. Additional creative touches such as animated and intricate photographic collages and giant CG snails sliding across the band's stage – add variety and depth to the surreal world.

^ I'll speak for myself, thanks, you can think whatever you like.

By liberal logic, a taxpayer who opposes a 200-million-dollar firehouse that looks like the Taj Mahal (Obamacare) to serve a community of less than 1000 people must obviously be for random fires destroying homes.

Speaking of victimhood, don't power-hungry liberals get votes by telling minorities they are permanent victims of racism, sexism and capitalism and that these "oppressed" groups can't make it without their (government) help?

The fear here is fear of a tyrannical leviathan government. You are foolish if you think the 900lb gorilla is under your control because of your yarn leash of good intentions around its neck.

And bankrupt Air America Radio has no one to blame but themselves for their shitty ratings.

Umm that needs blurring? Are they afraid some kid's mind will be warped by yarn?
