The simple truth is that they never would've been paying for a subscription to Britannica anyway.

I'm kind of glad I got out of high school right around when Britannica made the change to the internet instead of book form. I love doing research in libraries, and while I know a lot of people say a serious researcher does not resort to encyclopedias, I still would appreciate the option of getting up to date material if I need it from a non 'net source.
Wikipedia beats Britannica because its free, not because its necessarily better. |

Just for starters.
You can find mp3s of the whole thing by just googling the title. It is truly brilliant.

You know, that was pretty funny, but why is everyone I searched for calling it a new art form? Did they never watch MST3K? |

Well yeah, they are not the same thing in terms of content, but still, I'm still struggling to see how it is anything more than "funny as shit". The one website went along the lines of "We don't know how to define this".
What the hell am I missing?
From Wikipedia: "infusion of dissident subtext into a pop-culture phenomenon, creating a suspension of art and reality"
Oh, so its BS commentary on something that made me laugh a lot. |
