… YTMND, but well worth watching especially if you remember the original “We didn’t start the fire” by Billy Joel

I’ll toss the lyrics here too for the curious:
We didn’t start this Website (by: NeomatrixCTL & Freedrosie)

Harry Potter, Domo-Kun, Ridge Racer, Sailor Moon,
Stephen Colbert, Captain Picard, Attack of the Show.
Technologic, Curb Stomp, New Orleans, Falling Thwomp,
Bell Peppers, Brian Peppers, Myspace is Emo!

Captain Kirk, Oh Snap, Bill Cosby, It’s a Trap,
Connery, O RLY?, Katamari Damacy,
Cuppycake Gumdrop, Spinnaz never gonna stop,
Butterfinger, Lex Luthor, Screw YOU Scientology!

We didn’t start this Website,
It was always twisted,
Since the site’s existed,
We didn’t start this Website,
No we didn’t code it,
But we’re gonna vote it!

Had one weakness, Third Reich, Zelda, Nigga stole my bike,
Lindsay Lohan, Sonic, Hassan, NEDM,
Joshcube, Camping noob, Internet’s a big tube,
Hax, Max, Horsedick, Stapler, Tiny Tim!

What is Love, Dew Army, Safety isn’t guarenteed,
VinnyWeapons, CloudSong, Mastersitsu, Donkey Kong,
Conan, Cyberman, AsiaCopter, GMan,
Dinghis Kahn, Pokemon, People raiding eBaum!

We didn’t start the Website,
Though we didn’t start it,
Made it look retarded,
We didn’t start this Website,
No we’re not the smartest,
But We’re still called artists!

Willy Wonka, Virgin Nerd, Didn’t say the magic word,
Best day ever, Michael Moor, Holy crap a Dinosaur,
Spiderman, Barrel Roll, Batman Stares into your soul,
Had it with these F’n snakes, Punch the keys for gods sake!

Darth Vader, Bill Nye, Razor Gator, Homer, Pi,
Lazy Town, Gay Fuel Pride, Syncan’s gonna break my stride,
Eon8, Soylent Green, Never ending ball machine,
Shoe on Head, Violin, Stingray killed Steve Irwin!

We didn’t start the website,
We may be inventive,
But we’re not attentive,
We didn’t start the website,
No we didn’t make it,
But we’re here to break it!

PS3 vs Wii, 64 and DBZ, Russia, A-Ha, World of Warcraft drama,
Very Greedy Sea Gull, Chunk is Indestructible, Burger King,
Racial Slur, Pranking Telemarketer, Chuck Norris, Chocolate,
Jesus and a Fishbiscuit, Kool-Aid, not Afraid, Dr.Leet is getting laid!

We didn’t star the Website,
They may call us losers,
but there’s lots of users,
We didn’t start this website,
Much more than a blog,
Cause we’re the men now dog,
now dog (repeat)

Edit: The history and CORRECT lyrics ;) … Unfortunately this site didn’t exist when I sat down and listened to this three thousand fucking times :P

Just wow. This is a real winner of a parent… you can find her actual commentary on the npr site. Not happy that her kids are being active playing a video game, this over achiever parent who wants to live vicariously through her kids lambastes the Wii for having sports games that actually interest her kids and make them want to do something active… because it’s not *REAL* and if they go out in the *REAL* world they won’t be able to play the *REAL* game as well as the virtual one… and that will discourage them and make them quit. First, if you have a 8+ year old who can’t distinguish between reality and a video game… you’ve failed, get them to psychological help before you screw them up worse. Second, do you think they wouldn’t be discouraged if they picked up a tennis racket and couldn’t hit the ball anytime it was returned? Overcoming the beginning of any sport where you absolutely SUCK is part of learning the sport.  First time I went rollerskating I ate more dirt off the floor than your average flower pot contains, I hated it.  I never wanted to skate again.  However, my mother wanted me to at least learn and she went with me for a month or two till I could at least get around… once it got to that point I *loved it*… however, even without Wii sports to “disillusion” me, I still hated it when I started.  Shit like this is exactly what is wrong with society… rather than take her kids out to play real sports or do something with her kids that involve real sports to get them interested she lets them sit around and do nothing… then when they get interested in sports because its a fun video game she laments how the Wii is ruining her kids… newsflash, your lack of involvement is why your kids don’t play real life sports… nothing to do with the Wii.  It’s also great how she degrades her kids.  Cute… real cute lady.

… wtf. Are we as a society so freaked out and scared that we react to everything in a negative manner? Didn’t someone ask any of the commuters near the “bombs” if they were there yesterday… or the day before… or the day before that?

“Turner Broadcasting is expected to issue an apology for causing today’s series of bomb scares throughout Boston. A statement emailed to the Globe from Turner Broadcasting said: “The ‘packages’ in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger. They are part of an outdoor marketing campaign in 10 cities in support of Adult Swim’s animated television show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They have been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards. We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger.”

I’d be embarrassed if I were from Boston right now. The mayor should probably also issue an apology for running his mouth off before knowing what the situation really was.
