Today’s superpoop makes me laugh and pokes fun at one of open source’s most… colorful characters: Richard Stallman. Not only does he despise you for having children and browse the web through a daemon, but he also created emacs.
As a free software advocate, rms suggests watching YouTube through the open-source SWF plugin Gnash. To attract attention to this cause, Stallman danced:
Hell, I even think he’s wearing the same outfit as in superpoop. As Jeffrey and I noticed, though, it’s the comments on this video that really make it. A sampling:
- why does stallman have to do it w/ his laptop? Hes probably using EMACs while they did it
- look at RMS cranking dat GNU
- yall SUCK!!!!!aint 1 of yall dumb assess gots ny rythem!!!!!!
- i had to read shit by richard stallman (the fat one) in my philosophy class.
- the dude with the most skills is the chubby old guy carrying the laptop in the red shirt in the back.
- Oh god..I can just imagine: “This video has been released under the GPL v3.0”
- SICK A HOBO TOOO!!
- Gnash doesn’t work very well with youtube, otherwise I would use it. Further development is necessary.
- dis is sum gay as crap
- homeboy in the back… ya you… the one with the beard and red shirt…. i see you… dude was feelin it
- Everytime Stallman does something I’m embarrassed I’m so hardcore about emacs.
- The single most compelling reason to use Linux ever. But how did they find a video camera that would work with it?
We also enjoy the comments on Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day.” Unfortunately, the video has been removed from YouTube, but, to recreate the experience, here is MTV Music’s copy, along with (real) YouTube comments on the original:
- love this song
- -Good Song…it helps me through bad days..but I picture this music video in another way…like in a 13 year old’s eyes. Cause that’s how old I am.
- OMH THIS IS MY FAV SONG WHEN I FOUND OUT I NEED LEG SURGERY AND MAY BE PARLEZED THIS SONG WAZ PLAYING ON THE RADIO ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPTSIAL! i am ok :)
- The guy looks like Doctor Carter on E.R
- this song is not that awesome. it just talks about a freakin bad stupid day.
- me and my friends in my english class started singing this and in seconds my whole class was singing it!!!! Class of ‘08!!
- What gender of music would you put Daniel Powter under cuse i been to 3 diffrent music stores one had him under pop other had him under light listening and another had him under rock
- I sort of had a bad day once.. I had to babysit my brothers. so one of em grabbed a hammer and knocked me out. I woke up in a closet…I still think funny know.
