I can't see the video. the link works, but the vid doesn't.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It describes a Spider Man comic book featuring Obama (trouble at Inauguration, Spidey saves the day) and gives a few responses about it from comic book fans in NYC.

Hmm... I had a problem at first as well. Did you hit refresh? Is it giving you an error message?

You may be missing the required codec. Do you have Adobe Flash Player installed? It's free.

People still have dial up? :shock:
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

"Attention Staplic, attention Staplic! This is the 21st century calling, do you hear us?"

Pretty cool idea, IMO.

Wow. A lot of people by me don't even still have "land lines" for actual voice telephony.

Anyway, yeah - I saw the publication announcement a few days ago, and at first I thought it was terribly gimmicky; then I realized that Obama is exactly the right sort of politician to attract things like this.

I don't have wireless (except for my cell phone's browser, of course,) but I don't have dial-up. Find out about your local cable provider's ISP; they usually offer a 1 or 2 year introductory rate.

You might even be able to get a wireless router with the deal. Failing that you can get them fairly cheap. I've got so much wireless shite in here I might be giving myself cancer. :lol:

Well if my area gets anymore backwards we might start using ox carts. Most businesses here don't even have a webpage and according to the town one it's still 2007, guess they blew the budget on poutine.
