Final Fantasy: The home movie!

A bunch of kids act out Final Fantasy. Pretty hilarious, watch it with sound, cause it has music and sound effects.

I like how they're pan technique was the same as ours: Try to walk slowly and keep the camera steady.

Ah, but they skimped on the violent wallet stealing from people that prance to happy-go-lucky music; surely a portrayal of a(an?) ubiquitous act in today's society.

Now I ask you, what's up with that? (sanity probably got in the way 8))

Rejection on TV's "American Idol" turned William Hung into a most unusual American celebrity. He's hot at UC Berkeley, where he studies engineering -- but he's scorching in Singapore, according to his unofficial publicist.

"If he went there, women would rip his clothes off in the streets," said Don Chin, a real estate agent in McKinleyville (Humboldt County) who started the fan site http://www.williamhung.net after watching Hung get bounced off the show two weeks ago.
So it does pay off to make an ass of yourself on TV sometimes.

Another little surprising source of free (as in speech) books. Has a book from '92 by Niven and Pournelle which I haven't read yet. This qualifies it as good enough to be linked to.
