New Whitest Boy Alive Video - "Golden Cage"

Italian online TV station QOOB held a fan-made video contest for Erlend Øye-project The Whitest Boy Alive, and the winning clip is a treat for your computer-burned retinas. Vid-maker Mauro Vecchi sets some famous optical illusions to the laggard, dry dance stomp of "Golden Cage." It's like a "browser refresh" for your eyes and ears, computer nerds. Watch it. (via P4K)

yeah, even after the skin-crawling shit, i'm still seeing the union jack.

my favorite visual 'trick,' is when somebody photoshops an extra pair of eyes and mouth on a portrait... it's nearly impossible to take it all in. i guess. fun.

what makes people so arrogant/ignorant that they insist on writing in a language they haven't mastered without simply asking a friend to proofread it?

i'll never understand it...

ok, ghost of English future, you were being sarcastic, yes? perhaps aiming for clever, or attempting some ironic or facetious sentiment? Because I watched the video twice, to see what you were bitching about, and the English, both in grammar and diction, is formally correct.
Clearly, with you as 'the ghost of English future', we're completely fucked if you're indicative of the command of English the future possesses.
(That big part in the middle-end? That was misspelled on purpose. Your intuitive reading skills are a bit... simplistic)

Unless, of course, you spotted something trivial which I missed.... which I doubt.
