Happy World Information Society Day

What exactly is World Information Society Day? Hell if I know. Wikipedia, care to explain?
World Information Society Day was proclaimed to be on 17 May by a United Nations General Assembly resolution, following the 2005 World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis. The day had previously been known as World Telecommunication Day to commemorate the founding of the International Telecommunication Union in 17 May 1865. It was instituted by the Plenipotentiary Conference in Malaga-Torremolinos in 1973. The main objective of the day is to raise global awareness of societal changes brought about by the Internet and new technologies. It also aims to help reduce the Digital divide.
I'm all for reducing the digital divide. How 'bout a music video to begin the process?



For our non-YouTube fellas (Dave and Hoboken Mike), a picture:

I've watched 2 straight hours of late afternoon Nickelodeon with my stepdaughter while doing work from home and I've done so without drinking. Even I'm a little surprised by this.

Starring scantily clad 17 year olds who may someday leak nude photos to the web?

Mark said...

Everything but the scantily clad part is true. I'd describe it more as "suggestively dressed".

While we're talking jailbait, the older daughter from Modern Family is 19, so you can "explore yourself" all you want to thoughts of her without subsequent pederast grief.

what if the actress is of age, but the part she is playing is not of legal age? though you are legally in the clear, morally you are a pedophile.

cavs get 2 of the top 4 picks in a lousy draft. that's not how karma's supposed to work.

rob said...

dave is correct, but only if you entertain yourself with images from the show. go online for her civilian pics and you're totally clear. so i hear.

And if we ever did another Cauc Hop competition Action Bronson might win. He's weird like MF Doom and he sounds like GFK.

rob said...

wow - just listened to the first two songs. uniquely awesome.

Mark said...

That is indeed pretty fresh.

Z - you should check out Onry Ozzbourn.

zman said...

Turns out this isn't a preview per se, the album is available now. And if you want to support Bon Iver, you can buy their new album directly from their website so that they get all the cash.
