I'm guessing it was made in the 60s but I'm not so hot on decades.
Why can't voice over artists be this poetic these days?
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
As a special bonus I'm going to throw in the coffee episode of Bob Dylan's
Theme Time Radio hour - I can't recommend it highly enough.

I think the word you were looking for was 'BAT' and it's got your name on it, Dick Littlejohn.
Incidentally, if the woman in charge of Harringey Social Services is responsible for the actions of a sick twisted individual, can we blame Littlejohn everytime a BNP thug beats an asian lad to death?
I hope so.

One side, Littlejohn, thinks it is nature that these people lead relatively squalid lives full of difficulties for themselves.
You lot are saying it's nurture - the environment they are in, societies responsibility to offer the chance.
It's not an homogenous group of chavs: Somepeople would fall into the Littlejohn category, some would fall into the !Littlejohn category.
Some people are scum.
Not everyone on benefits is scum, and the scum might be a minority at the end of the bell curve.
But they exist, and are annoying.
Littlejohn exaggerates the case to make a point, and he chooses his examples to back him up.
So do the !Littlejohnners.
The truth is I was iving in a beautiful large house, with a beautiful woman, and 4 great kids, in an idyllic rural setting 48 hours ago.
And now I'm in the cheapest inner city B&B I can find, and I signed on, and my life seems just over. My cash will run out at Xmas, and there is a real risk I shall be on the streets for Xmas.
I am not scum. But I am rubbing shoulders with people who clearly lack some motivation, or self-awareness, engaging voluntarily in behaviour which is self-destructive, self-harming, unproductive in a personal as well as a capitalist sense.
They are fellow humans, and deserve every possible chance and opportunity. If they don't take any of those opportunities, then fuck 'em. They are scum.

i mean it seriously too, journalists should never be able to cherry pick the responses they get, it's just escaping from the fact they may be worn from time to time.
fuck that makes me siock. i gave a fully thought out appraisal of his article, perfectly articulated and puntctuated. granted, it was critical, but just as worthy as positive comment. but that gets nowhere near his comments section, instead we get this shit:
"Richard, please, please apply for the PM job. You're the only one left with enough common sense to fix this country from its rottenness."

Fuck I didn't see that one, that's terrible. As well written as the article is, it's clearly laced with bullshit. Considering he walked past this family eating chips, he managed to stare at them long enough to pick out intricate details about them, none of which I believe, other than eating chips. He probably just got shitty and up himself because he had to step off the pavement! oh fucking dear! Shit happens, I walk off the pavemennt intentionally for most people, it's called manners, something which he thinks he has so much of, being of "breeding" and intelligence, but it's quite obvious he is just a stuck up prick.
I judged his own article with the same predjudice attitude that he opens it with, by only reading the first few paragraphs and deciding to wing the rest with my own imagination.

I know that I'm not perfect, but this is appalling! I thought that he was being ironic when I read the word "bay-bees", which I assume means babies. Then I got as far as "yuman rites" and I couldn't believe my eyes. Maybe hitting the 'y' key instead of the 'h' key is a simple enough mistake, but it should have been picked up by any simple spell checker. Spelling rights as rites though, that is just ignorant. Doesn't anyone proof-read this rubbish?
I won't go into the actual content as I would just be repeating things that have already been said.

"This avatar of a prostitute in one of Second Life's brothels leaves little to the imagination"
Reminds me of Charlie Brooker's Daily Mail Island. "I was stiff with disgust."
Also hope it's not too geeky, but has anyone heard of a documentary called Second Skin? Saw it recently and thought it was quite good, it's about this sort of stuff.

Just a quick mess around in After Effects, to see if I could get a stereoscopic animation to work. I can. Sort of. But it still needs work! To see it, you'll need to be quite close to your monitor. You may get a better result with the slightly larger version on Vimeo.

Loved guessing the number 1s of the 80's last week, but it took half an hour to listen. Plus, loads of the clips had lyrics in them that gave the game away. i have made a 5 minute version, which has random songs from the 80's (36 of them cos that's my age).
