Be afraid, be very afraid.

This video contains content from Comcast Entertainment Group, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.

So evidently it's a copyright violation, but only in some countries now.

You've been a good boy indoctrinating us to this fantastic new system Elta. 3,000 points for you.

I can understand this guy's enthusiasm though I have to admit this whole thing is a bit disturbing.

I think you should be in charge Elta, because I know you won't try to manipulate my kid into drinking five Doctor Peppers or smoking Tarrlytons.

I think most of CFC would go along, as long as their post-count is turned into points.

 

[Elta]

I should be in charge, with my heart of gold and what not

Comcast, again!

 

[Verbose]

Apparently blocked in my country, whatever that's supposed to mean...

 

[Mise]

F---ing COMCAST!!!!!!

(blocked in my country)

 

[Birdjaguar]

Great video and provably prophetic.

 

[Elta]

I hope it's not


P.S.
Sorry everyone, if I would have known that it was blocked practically every where I wouldn't have posted it on an international forum.

This kind of reminds me of some of the claims/predictions people had about the internet and technology in previous decades, that I'm still waiting for to come true.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Blocked.
Probably in all of Europe.

 

[Tarkhan]

Blocked in Canada. Let's be jerks and region lock the internet. I guess they ARE a cable/telecommunications company, thats like one step up from the lawyers and insurance guys.

[fdgsgds]

Makes me worried about where we're headed; then again, I'm still waiting for those flying cars that are supposed to be here in 50 years.

Reminds me of that comedian who said that in the future everything will have a camera on it, including grapefruits.
