Blog - SOPA

Today, after being postponed, is that SOPA law-thingie taking place.
Various websites are having a voluntary blackout, just so people can see how things will be affected if that law come to pass.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out this quite long but informative video:



Americans pass a random annoying law, and the whole world as to suffer the consequences...
(though I honestly doubt this thing will come to pass...come on!)
I'll draw p0rn if that happens! Ha!

How to Start Your Own Country

Remember Danny Wallace? He's the guy who got all those kids in the UK involved in politics!

In 2005, Danny Wallace got really interested in what you need to do to start your own country nowadays.
The humo(u)rist produced a sort of interactive TV series, using feedback from fans and ideas on his forum boards to create "his country", name it, define it, etc..
Now, BBC took down all his forums, the micronation even not as prominent as originally intended still lives on (partly Internet-based though).

The whole project and documentary can be found on DVD now, but you can still find most of its important parts on the internet.

How to Start Your Own Country!
It all started when Danny got interested on the whole process..
Sure it looked silly at first.
Here's Danny Wallace interview on London's LBC...



Then, the movement launched, Danny needed some citizens...
So, logically, he went to Denmark to enlist some folks!



The movement was going on anyway. Some detractors wouldn't believe it, but things were starting to take form!



(On the tube, Danny met a random guy, Crazy Man!



yup...)


Now, all he needed was some actual land.
He tried to conquer some place by force...

Danny Wallace Invades an island!



It was finally decided he would start a micronation from his own flat in Bow, London.
The country he created was eventually named "Lovely". The Kingdom of Lovely would be governed by Danny, its king. (creator and ruler)
The Kingdom of Lovely became a partly Internet-based official micronation.
Lovely has (on the last check) 58,165 citizens registered on its website.
And finally, "citizens of Lovely are invited to declare a room, or some other building or land belonging to them, to be an embassy for the country by taking a photograph displaying Lovely's flag there."

Here's a summary-video in two parts:





...and last but not least, enjoy the awesome original Kingdom of Lovely Anthem!



And I'd like to point out Lovely still exists!
They just moved from forum to forum to forum... Currently you can find Lovely at lovelycountry.net

So put up your Lovely Flag and be proud to help out the Kingdom of King Danny!~

Stand-up tour - Ricky Gervais' Live: Fame

Following the recent Ricky Gervais trend on my blog, here's various clips from his awesome Stand-up tour, "Live: Fame".

A badass scene worthy of his presence and comedy!

The whole tour can be seen on DVD. (and I'm hoping to find a CD release as well...)
Here's some little gems from the show.

First up, "Rumours on the Bible":



..on War, Racism and Stephen Hawking: 



Public restrooms and lewd behavior:



And finally, a Best of Ricky Gervais Live: Fame (including some bits already post, but who cares right? :D)



Overall, awesome tour!

Democracy? You decide!!

 Danny Wallace takes a very serious (... okay, not really!) look at governance's system.
A very funny silly look on politics :P





This was originally a PSA meant for 14-18 year olds.
