luda vs. opra

From G4.com: Rapper Ludacris is mad at talk show host Oprah Winfrey. The MC appeared on her show to promote his acting turn in the film Crash but much of his comments were edited out, he claims. Apparently Oprah has a rule of not promoting rap or rappers so she edited him every time he spoke about his music career. "She edited out a lot of my comments while keeping her own in," Ludacris told GQ. "Of course, it's her show, but we were doing a show on racial discrimination, and she gave me a hard time as a rapper when I came on there as an actor. I don't see why people like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle, who I am huge fans of, it's OK for them to go on Oprah. They speak the same language as I do, but they do it through comedy, so I guess that's acceptable."

where's wal-mart

"Wal-Mart is to begin selling a DVD player from RCA that contains programming that can automatically filter out sex, violence, and profanity from movies. The player comes with filters that parents can set to block out objectionable material. Additional filters can be purchased and installed to block material from new movies.

The software technology was developed by ClearPlay. The Directors Guild of America, however, sued ClearPlay when the software was available only on computers. The DGA claims that the software changes movies and violates the director's intentions. The DGA, however, may be rethinking its lawsuit now that they have a clearer understanding of how the DVC machines actually work."

one of the most fucked up things i've ever read

Apparently, the demand for year-round fresh strawberries has caused Kenyan strawberry farmers to pump more and more water from Lake Naivasha into their fields, leading to a 25% decrease in native hippo population over the last few years.

videogames + turntables (+ 420)

Alright, this will probably sound pompous and retarded, but it̢۪s Grand Theory Time, bitches.

So like...every album is an adventure, and each song on that album is like a quest or storyline running through one of its testosterone/estrogen-soaked veins. The act of interacting with your music, DJ'ing in particular, is more or less the same concept as playing a videogame: you're experiencing a narrative that, ideally, and no matter how vague or ambiguous, you are re-ordering and interacting with in real time. This could mean picking your next mission in GTA, your fighter's flying path in Zaxxon, your combination of kicks and punches in Soul Calibur 3, whatever gets you all fired up--or, that is, spinning records in an order and on a level/of a style you can relate to.

Slightly different interfaces, but both examples of organic, interactive storytelling (fuck the word organic, but still, you feel me right?).
