I would have thought, given how careful his 'people' are about backgrounds and avoiding anything that might make him look like some kind of elitist toff, it represents a balanced collection of populist and classical cinema, interspered with a few children's classics, and maybe the odd slightly controversial or risque element in there to show he's one of the boys.

Pretty sure Government for Dummies is actually Kill Bill...

# although it has to be said
with 1.7 million people claiming that they are too sick to work, it can't carry on as it is, unless of course today's students want to pay the sort of tax that is needed to keep that going for the rest of their lives, on top of the student mortgage they already will have to pay.

No right minded person would take money from the sick and disabled, but there are an awful lot of people claiming to be sick and are screwing the system.

It's easy to be generous with other people's money, but eventually someone has to pay for it.

# Why does everyone assume that I was tallking about fraud?
I'm not an ignorant Daily Mail reader, just simply highlighting that there are a very high number of people in this country who claim benefits on the basis they are too sick to do any work at all.

I have made no comment on the validity of those claims, just pointed out that it has to be paid for.

Neither am I in a rage about it, but it does irritate me when people (especially MPs and the House of Lords) say we have to support a huge welfare state knowing full well that someone else is footing the bill.

It is very, very easy to be generous and compassionate when someone else is paying, and let's face it all governments do is spend our money, not theirs.

And to be precise, it is 31% of all taxes collected goes on welfare. Bigger than health and education combined.

I assume that you are happy to pay the highest taxes in Europe and suffer these cuts though, because you don't seem to want to change things.

By the way, if you check you'll probably find that your cuts are a consequence of local authorities pushing funding into pensions instead of front line services because our dumb government didn't ring fence their income. Public sector organisations are often run for the benefit of those working there, not the people they are meant to serve.

the heavier the filesize I can't remember the name of the b3tard but he does those silhouette animations which have a massive canvas size but are extremely small on filesize because the only moving parts are the silhouettes which are usually smaller on the canvas this is a prime example of gif optimisation.

# Something about it being backed by some organisation
who want to ensure our right to parody isn't untarnished, as if it ever was anyway. The whole point of parody is that you're poking fun at something, governments have been toppled by parodies and in some way the fact that often it can be legally borderline makes it funnier to the nth degree. Imagine V for Vendetta where the corrupt Government can't take any action against the Stephen Fry Tv comedian character - rather pointless I would say. But if this bill goes through we can have an open day on The Artist Former Known as Squiggle who wouldn't be able to do a thing about it because it's "parody"

# As I see it
companies will try to leverage their intellectual property rights (copyright, trademarks, etc.) to attempt to take down stuff they don't like from the Internet.

As most web hosting providers are either a) feeble and gutless b) can't be bothered checked whether material is genuinely infringing,
they will take down material without much of a fight. After all, as a hosting provider which will you care more about -
a single customer paying £3.50 a year for cheapo hosting or the potential cost of court proceedings?

So companies simply use IP law and the chilling effect of a cease & desist letter to attack stuff they don't like.
