I seem to be on the other end of the spectrum regarding the Nintendo vs LP business. I think they have enough money in their octopus arms to be worried about people making money advertising their games which would actually add even more to their pocket when people buy the games based upon the advertising. Loads of indie companies are growing strong financially to this day specifically because of the advertising, and Nintendo is sobbing. It's not like the money the LPers are getting is coming out of Nintendo's pocket. It's not like the LPer didn't buy their game, thus fulfilling the original deal Ninrendo set up for the buying and selling of their product. It's someone paying someone else to show them a video game, so that person might want to give Nintendo money. I'd keep going, but you get my drift. /opinion
Now I'm going to sit here awkwardly and watch a video with guys with weird mops on their heads singing about things. Why does this exist...

That's "SketchMan3". Capital S, capital M and the number 3. It's official (nicknames are ok, though)

The piano guys are the ones who play the piano "wrong", right? From the inside, hitting it with mallets and so forth? I missed a chance to see them on PBS I found them on youtube while checking out Hilary Hahn and Hauschka's violin + prepared piano project "Silfra". Pretty interesting stuff, though, if I may be so bold, I think Hauschka is still a child trying to find his sound with the prepared piano. Some of his stuff just sounds so... elementary? As I come from an "urban" background, I find some of his rhythms are totally "whack". Hilary Hahn royally pwns, though. She rocks that violin like a hummingbird rocks a honey suckle. She kind of resembles a hummingbird too, in features and movement... I'll have to check out that "... You Beautiful" rendition. Thanks for the heads up, Dashe. @mr. Foetus: I find it funny that the general idea of SOPA/PIPA seems to be still alive and kicking, just being enforced from a different direction. Many of the things that people were afraid would happen due to those acts are taking place anyway.

Yeah, that's them. I was going to get my mom their CD last Christmas but she said she wanted Rascal Flatts instead. I wish I hadn't asked and just got her The Piano Guys, because now I have to listen to Rascal Flatts every time I see her. >_<
I'm gonna go check out Hilary Hahn now because the violin family is pretty awesome.

Got into a crash today. The front part of our car collided with the trunk of somebody else's, and is completely ruined. Meanwhile, I walk off from the scene with a extremely minor case of whiplash.

I can't! Since I'm not an American, suing somebody because an accident is ethically wrong.

D: Good to see you're doing okay, Kyle! And Americans do have a penchant for suing a lot...I wonder why that is...Maybe it's because we like the name Sue. Though I much prefer the name Harold, when it comes to female names. What am I talking about right now.

You can sue for pretty much anything in the US, it would be kinda funny when the judge asks why you're suing them. "Well... my neck kinda hurts"

So back to annoying bands...yeah. This I could actually listen to, so long as it's sparingly.

D: Good to see you're doing okay, Kyle! And Americans do have a penchant for suing a lot...I wonder why that is...Maybe it's because we like the name Sue. I'd imagine so. You're all definitely fond of using the name Sue when it comes to fictional characters, ain't ya'? You can sue for pretty much anything in the US, it would be kinda funny when the judge asks why you're suing them. "Well... my neck kinda hurts" "Your Honour, the defendant has totaled my car completely, leaving me with no vehicle for an unknown period of time. But that's beside the point. He made my neck sore, so I demand compensation!"

I just...It....It looks like they found various mop-like plastics and attached them to their heads with duct tape. And throughout the video they're just really excited about the plastic that they have on their head. "This plastic was on sale for $5 at Home Depot!"

Oh One Direction will just do an Aaron Carter like thing. They'll be forgotten in a few years, boy bands never last long

I don't know anything about annoying bands, but I do have one question: What the heck is the MMLS Springtime BBQ?

Not really that self-explanatory, considering MMLS is an online community. Where does it take place? Is it virtual, or will I need a plane ticket?
