The above entry is an entry into a competition from BBC. If you’re feeling ambitious, and from the UK, enter. Or if you just want to see some great interviews with key people that have been a good part of the Interweb revolution check out the videos like this one on twitter. via Kevin Kelly’s Technium A perfectly silly mashup of pundits like me pontificating about the web. This mix was brilliantly sampled from outtakes from a massive BBC series about the Internet, not yet broadcast. Only the dailies have been posted so far. In the mashup I observe that “the web is large. It is so much bigger than a balloon” which I have to say is very profound. Enjoy!

The Golden Age of Video
http://www.suture.com/2009/11/the-golden-age-of-video/
Once you get past the techno overtures (sorry, I’m not a big techno fan) and the visuals and lyrics take over you realize that the clips are strung together with rhymes and beats.
Lyrics from Ricardo Autobahn below: 1,2,1,2,3,4 We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us! Gooble gobble gooble gobble! We accept her, we accept her! We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us! Gooble gobble gooble gobble! We accept her, we accept her! (We-we) we came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass, I was testing you – and you passed, Dental plan! Lisa needs braces, Be required to fart on a regular basis, I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse, Channel 13 – Eyewitness news! Robocop, who is he? Dead or alive you’re coming with me. In a hurry to be fed, beady eyes and big blue head. I’m telling the truth Doc, you gotta believe me, Why does everything I whip leave me? My beautiful chocolate! Candy is dandy, Fava beans and a nice Chianti, You can count on Slippery Pete, Suicide will be nice and neat! I didn’t build the Panama canal, Open the pod bay doors please, HAL, These aren’t the droids you’re looking for, These aren’t the droids we’re looking for, I am not a number I am a free man! Rosebud. To The Idiotmobile! Right away Michael, I-I-I-I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. We came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass, You don’t understand I coulda had class, Round and tasty on a bun, Ooh Zippy look what you’ve done! Finally! Cast off those lines! No, I’ve been nervous lots of times, Red Rum! What’s the matter honey? Just robbed Boss Hogg all of his money! We came, saw, we kicked it’s ass, Writing checks your body can’t cash, I was elected to lead, not read, I feel the need – the need for speed, Watch out for snakes, a good man’s loafer, HQ – my hat looks like a muffin – over, My god it’s full of stars, There was no driver in the car.. In the car (repeat) Well you see I’m in hot pursuit! There are only two things I love in this world – everybody and television!
The Simpsons
Run With Us!
Ugh – you must be shrooming, Wait for me Moomin! Cross live to meet the host of that show, Meat Boy, I want to go to there. We came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass, An oil tycoon – like a.. moustache, Nice beaver! I just had it stuffed, I don’t give a shit, close enough, Where’s me washboard? I’ll get me coat, Y-y-y-you’re gonna need a bigger boat, What’d she say? I think she bought it, Suck it monkeys! I’m goin’ corporate! C’mon let’s take a drive! A drive? Number 5 is alive! It’s only a laugh, no harm done, Pickles, french fries, yum yum yum, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, It’s 2 degrees cooler, The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, Six words in the whole song. We-we-we accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us! Gooble gobble gooble gobble! We accept her, we accept her! You are number 6 5 4 3 2 I am not a number, I am a free man We came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass, Give me my 20,000 in cash, We came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass, I think you woke up the dead with that blast We came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass, I think fast, I talk fast, We came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass, Lois, this is not my Batman glass,

Fail Whale
http://www.suture.com/2009/05/fail-whale/
Germany is a culture that is driven by success while America is one that is driven by success through failure. This means that if you fail in Germany you’re history screwed. In the USA to fail means you have valuable learnings working towards success. And, arguably, the only place where failure is cult in the form of a whale would come from the USA.
And of course, a failwhale fan page.
