Satan Since 2003

Posted on July 16, 2011 by Dustin Boyer

This is a fascinating minidocumentary by emmy award winner Carlos Puga on moped gang turf wars. …I’ll give you a second if you need to read that sentence again.

Satan Since 2003 from carlos puga on Vimeo.

It’s pretty intense in this totally trivial way and contains several epic one liners of bozo philosophy. For the aficionado, Hell’s Satans was Homer’s motley motorcycle gang in The Simpsons.

In true hipster fashion, the whole thing is actually just an ironic caricature of itself. Truth and fiction are blended together so as be unrecognizable double feints of one another. I’m reminded of this line from an nytimes piece last year

“It’s a superficial topic, yet it seemed that so much was at stake.”

This Has Got To End

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Dustin Boyer

Today, I was doing a quick reddit browse and saw this link

Interesting, but when I click through, I see this

This bullshit has got to end. The world needs a video site where governments, industry and people who just don’t like what they see can’t remove videos. This video was about to go viral, it was about embarrass Saudi Arabia. It was about to embarrass the United States for having such a close relationship with Saudi Arabia. Decent people were going to be horrified by barbarism and do something about it.

Instead, injustice was perpetuated by a terms of service clause.
