Awesome.

I can't see the video. the link works, but the vid doesn't.

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?

no, the site loads, but the vid screan just stays black. no play button, no action, nothing.

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

yep, I do...it's probably my stupid dial up connection

People still have dial up?

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

Pretty cool idea, IMO.

Yes, a lot of the rural areas in North America still have dial up.

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.

and a lot of cheep dad's that won't get/allow a wireless connection.

I live in a metro area, but I can't afford a wireless conection my self and my dad won't get one.

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.

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.
