Cripples need love too. Grab your raincoat and hop in.

Exactly, but this is a very touchy subject for most societies.

The video felt pretty awkward and I had to search for the lyrics cause couldnt get most part of it. Most of it was disturbing, even I found some parts that felt disgusting in my anathema filled education. I must say that Im mesmerized of seeing how all those taboos were thrown publicly. I guess that you need to be quite brave, pissed or desperate. Possibly a mix of all those but hats off.

At some point, you get horny enough to become brave, even fearless. It's the awesome power of the sex drive.

I don't blame her. A lot of people start to confuse crippled people with mentally retarded people and won't step near them, stigmatizing any notion that they might have a sex drive. Crippled people have minds as capable as the rest of us, so it must piss them off.

[David75]

Another reason is people fear the idea of having sex with crippled people. There's the social image, personal image, cultural image etc...
They might also fear legal troubles where the crippled person consent is not considered valid...

Then there's the fact that our unconscious tends to tell us to avoid sex relations with people seen as ill or with an troubles that would affect procreation.

And let's face it, we also need to like how the people we date look like.

Some people can overcome all of this, this just isn't the norm and it's not easy to have them meet with the ones in need and they are compatible.

On some tunes, works quite well. it's just there's a bit of tuning needed either in the hammers or tube heads to reduce the percussion hard and unpleasant sounds.

I think that this video deservers its own thread.

Haha, awesome commercial that one. Too bad I don't like Hahn Super Dry, otherwise I'd like it even more.

The PVC vid was pretty cool. It's interesting how being a less efficient version of the piano actually makes it more fun.

Ocarina of Time 3D commercial with Robin Williams and his daughter Zelda Williams, whom he actually named after Princess Zelda.



Also, epic beard.

The real question is, what will the download limit be?

Arcness gets a measly 125GB download (upload included?) limit with his.

[rockmanj]

I am curious about that as well. But I do think that it is a good thing. Speeds in the US are ridiculously slow and expensive. I pay like 60$ for 10MB/2MB, but I never get speeds anywhere near that.

[David75]

Problem with fiber is that it's not that widespread and as it costs a lot to deploy, you have to be in areas with lots of people to have the luck of finding a fibered place.

In Paris I can have access to 100mb/50mb fiber for 38€/month. For the same price I get 100mb/10mb cable speeds in Versailles since the city has no fiber access yet.
My real speed in Versailles is around 65mb down, and goes down to 40-45mb which is not bad considering that ADSL for the same prices is 5Mb on my phone line...

I might go fiber in Paris, will be more practical to access my NAS there and redirect some tv channels I do not have access to in Versailles thanks to the nice upload speeds.

And here we face a great threat to high speed internet: video streams that will probably become the norm. Be it a HD camera feed,TV channel redirection etc... creating large amounts of bandwidth to tranfer from many points to many other ones.

We're not there yet, but I'm sure it will be very quick to happen.

This is awesome.

Damn frog eaters.
