Flickr Copyright Meetup at Mocha

Off late we have been extensively hearing more and more of the Indian media flicking images from flickr and not agreeing to compensate or even provide credit in almost all cases.

I would like to organize a peaceful human chain, possibly hold play cards too for display and let the people know what is happening. I'm confident the media will not cover this but even if we can get one news channel to do a small piece on this or the local community free news papers like say "mambalam times" or "t.nagar talk" to write about us, we could reach out far and wide.

I'm also planning to file a "Public Interest Litigation" in the high court against the rampant press abuse of copyrighted flickr work and lack of clause in copyright laws from the dimension of internet and technology as well.

I would like to schedule a meeting this sunday at 3.30 PM at Mocha in Khadar nawaz khan road, nungambakkam. Please attend this meeting. This will be an informal start-up to get this moving and we intend to discuss everything. Right from the human chain event to the PIL to our rights in terms of copyright.

Sorry if you are outside chennai. I would love to see some of you if at all you are travelling to chennai this sunday. I will keep my blog updated and keep you out of chennai'ers posted on this.

Bad Questions to ask a transsexual.

Awesome Video. I can't relate to this more than now.

It's funny how many of those dumb asses there are really who would really ask such fucked up questions in the first place. I know this personally I get some really fucked up questions all the time. gggawwhh! I wish the world was filled with more smart people who had brains the size of a common ground squirrel and would have the basic moral judgement to know what questions are ok and not ok to ask.

Status Messages that will really work.

Sometimes its annoying despite what you put on your IM status message people ping you for all sort of things. Here are some status messages that may really work... (i guess)

1. Busy watching porn, do not disturb (gentlemen, please don't complain if your buddies want a copy of it)
2. Talking with my ex-GF/BF, not in a good mood (this is almost a sure fire, unless your ex see's it)
3. Gotta use the restroom, thanks to my constipation (don't be sorry if people ask you what you ate!)
4. Would you go to bed with me? Ping if its a 'yes'! (you're in deep shit if the yes comes from the person of the same gender)
5. Practicing my swearing capabilities today, ping to assist. (don't complain if someone wants to compete)
6. I'm an atheist, that means you are wrong (better than the others, this may do it, but then....)
7. I can't believe what I'm seeing, can a penis cut hair? (Dave Chapelle may agree)
8. Today's topic, Arranged Marriage vs. Love Marriage. (Indian people have done much of this shit)
9. If you're single, I'm ready to mingle (definitely will scare all the hot women, but the ugly bitches will talk. now gentlemen, on 2nd thoughts do we really want this?)
10. I'm getting married to a rich, bald NRI! (All the hot tambram gals can use this and get away with 99.9% success rate, it's useless hitting on you once you start thinking of a bald NRI, seriously!)

That's all i can think of now. Let me know if you have got better ideas. We may get this on the wikipedia and copyright this shit for royalty or something. Oh, while you are here, please click on some awful Google ads because that will bring me $$$$$.
