Why haven’t the ASIC people brought “computers” on which they could “search for” or “look up” the answers to the questions being asked?
@jeffsonstein You can watch it here if you like. http://t.co/BqJlKNli7v
@jeffsonstein Hah! I’m in bed, but I’m watching a video of @SenatorLudlam questioning ASIC over s313 IP blocking. Worst. Porn. Ever.
@SenatorLudlam I tend to agree, it’s a bit light-on for The Explainings. But they should send people who understand the internet.
I want to refer to the ASIC guys as the Fat ASICer and the Thin ASICer. The latter does the “imaginary breasts” gesture quite well.
The letter is faxed out! Oh, ASIC, you special technological possums, you!

Storify is to journalism as Cory Bernardi is to human compassion and rationality.

Imagine if every time you quoted someone off TV, you drew a little TV screen with channel and volume buttons and power cord. That’s Storify.
As far as I can tell, Storify is a tool for “journalists” who never learned how to write prose and sentences and shit, or do quote marks.
