Learning After Effects is fun when you can post your experiments to comic strip forums and the like (mine own website being “the like”.)

Of all the twists, turns, folds, bends and power outages of last night’s Super Bowl (or “The Big Game”, as your regional supermarket chain called it in their circulars advertising off-brand pretzels), surely the most shocking turn of events was who Korean one-hit wonder Psy decided to sell his Gangnam soul to for his first  American endorsement deal. If you imagined that the popularity of Gangnam Style would put Psy’s price out of reach for anyone but a combine of Coca-Cola and Dr. Evil, you thought wrong!
There he was, South Korea’s most popular star, bursting forth  from what looked like a geyser of snot and doing his pony dance with a bunch of…pistachios?
Hey, I like pistachios, and I always treat myself to a handful from the bulk bin of the supermarket where I buy my off-brand pretzels, but can you imagine how much money America’s pistachio growers had to scrape together to land Psy when Dorritos probably offered to carve his face in the moon?
There are two possibilities here. One is that pistachios start moving like hotcakes, dropping the price for you and I and jump-starting this economy. The other is that pistachios retain their niche of popularity in-between filberts and Corn Nuts, bankrupting half of the southwest, crippling our “fragile recovery” (now in its fifth fragile year) and badda-boom-badda-bing… atomic war.
A lot is riding on you, Psy. The fact that you come from a country that is kissing cousins with Kim Jong-Batshit does not inspire me.
Like everyone on this planet at all times in history, I wish to see the pillars of society shaken, the high brought low, the prideful and the powerful forced to give awkward press conferences, and with no sacrifice on my part whatsoever to bring it about. It is with that philosophy acknowledged that I help spread the fun and joy that is Anonymous’ latest threat to the New World Order (which remains my least favorite club band.)
This video, which Anonymous posted to the hacked Federal Sentencing Commission website (they deserved it: their password was “shave and a haircut”, tapped on the monitor) is in retaliation for the assisted suicide our government committed against Aaron Swartz, an Internet pioneer, who stole (that is to say, copied) a bunch of documents in violation of what amounts to an iTunes user agreement. Aaron was threatened with 35 years in prison for this, and hanged himself in despair.
