I always knew there was something sinister about Twitch playing Pokémon!

Can we get some interviews or panels were you bring guests (i.e. experts) to talk about these kinds of things? In an entertaining way of course.

1) "petition?" this isn't a law, it's a plan to create new company policies. You see, may be finally be starting were a company acts as it's own nation. By doing what they are doing, you can't petition something that isn't trying to be real law. 2) You can write your congress and senate, and attach the Youtube video. 3) Boycotts-- mass boycotts-- We can stop buying from these people, but sadly that's pretty hard as I just bought another windows machine last year and didn't go with a Linux operating system. Still, it pains me that I decided never to buy an Xbox again as I'm a huge Gears of War fan :/. 4) There are unions and there are copyright groups out there working on this kind of stuff. I haven't seen a reaction from them yet. These groups or special interests often ask for donations for their work ($5.00 a month is the start, but they have special events that cost more), so you have to find one you trust and has a good record. I've posted and recommended groups before but they will ask for money, and this a big turn off for a lot of people. Please tell me if you find one--

Brilliant, instead of just being another "entertaining list" about nothing, I learned something. Jim, you are my new Colbert, because he retired from this kind of stuff and because I'm an expat working and living abroad and being able to watch my countries media is getting harder to do. I know you don't have staff writers or a huge budget, but you know how to make this kind of stuff entertaining. And that was the power of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report before they started being censored by their employers. Years ago, I know you didn't want to do any of the NSA monitoring us on XBOX 1 or Windows monitoring us, as you called yourself a "consumer advocate", but so was Ralph Nader and we would not have labels on food without him. Well wait a sec-- he never married, had death threats, and sexy female spies trying to seduce him. Okay, that's a lot to ask, but I really hope to see more of this stuff every so often.

TPP, how can I explain it? I'll take you frame by frame it You down with TPP? (Yeah you know me!)

The TTIP is somehow even worse, although most of the fuckery there is aimed at fucking over European governments - The worst things getting shafted our way is already shafting the US. At least there is some pushback in the European Parliament which may cut it out, but christ, this is all looking suspiciously like Shadowrun coming to life right before our eyes, just without the cool robot arms and cyber eyes.

Blowjob is a noun. It is a compound word, joining the verb "blow" with the noun "job." Even though blowjob features a verb, the word has always been a noun. Slapping the "-ing" would make it a verb, but it isn't a real word... until now! :-D

Entertaining and important at the same time!

Can we have a petition? Or is that out of the question?
