It is going to take another six, eight years for the media to realize that video coverage is often inefficient, and there should be a text transcript for 80% of it. If it can be told in text, tell it in text, because text is speed variable, less intrusive, and inexpensive for density.

Go ahead and discus. The video is fluff.

Is it just me or is this site seeming to post a LOT more video then it used to? I liked coming on here for the reading aspect of it.

Well, reality tv ....sigh

White Walkers and dragons suck equally!

Given that South Park has been about politics since roughly season two...no, no I don’t ‘member.

So they spent several seasons joking that both parties are the same, and now during a period of outrageous abuse of power and civil rights breaches this ostensibly libertarian show is whining about ‘why does everything have to be about politics?’

The AV Club community is dead save for a couple of us stragglers trying to survive among the hoards of Kinja zombies. AV Club straight up killed the one thing that separated it from any other pop culture website (besides Sean O’Neal, Katie Rife and a small handful of writers)

Capitalism failed those people who are so fucking low in their position in this country that they’re stealing big ticket items during a tragedy. I don’t give a shit if best buy loses a million dollars. I give a shit about all those people the system failed.

People like you are the type that reported people like me suspected sodomy because you found out I was gay while it was still illegal. Not because you were against it, of course, but a crime is a crime, right?

Oh, shit, Best Buy, which made almost a billion dollars in profit last year, is losing some TVs in a branch where they aren’t going to be able to sell shit for weeks anyway because the surrounding area is being evacuated and might soon be underwater?

Anyone who can muster even an iota of concern about this has…

Anyone who says they wouldn’t take what they need to survive in a disaster is truly, genuinely, absolutely full of shit. My husband was in Hurricane Odile a few years ago (Mexico) and he and his buddies stole cartons of cigarettes and water from an abandoned hotel so they had something to trade people and something to…

Yes, I know, I have seen them over at the root alot. But as someone who lurked alot over at the av club before they were scooped up and brought here. I know people might be thinking it just not typing it. So I took a moment to put this in a different perspective. Hoping some thought could come from a transparent trash…

But unions aren’t.

What a world.

Presumably you would have to take up the time of at least one person working for the police department, for some amount of time, in order to make your report. That is time that could be focused on rescuing people.

I know you posted this to be like, SEEE THE NEGROS ARE STEALING!!!!!111!!!

Gen. Russel Honoré (Army guy during Katrina, if you don’t recall the name) recently said on a local radio broadcast that they should just bust open the doors of the nearest WalMart and give it away. He’s cool like that.

“In this novel, a heroic, righteous officer of the law spends decades chasing an evil, criminal fugitive who used a fake identity to hide in plain sight and even stole a loaf of bread when he was hungry. That criminal was a thief and deserved to be punished.”

Even if they did take TVs, who really cares? They’re most likely broken/damaged and will be tossed regardless. Maybe the insurance company, but fuck them.

Then again it is Texas. I imagine their police as Walker Texas Ranger* and roundhouse kicking starving children in the head.
